Just press play all, it might be a bit laggy, and I
think Wait Up doesn‟t work, but we‟ll see. All
the songs have significance. I‟ll give you a little
explanation for each one.
We‟ve been “friends” for a long
time!
THAT‟S 5+ MONTHS BECAUSE WE WEREN‟T
FACEBOOK FRIENDS FOR A WHILE AND
THAT‟S A BIG DEAL
IN A CAVE
TOKYO
POLICE
CLUB
This song reminds me of you and
all our text wars of back and forth
lyrics to awesome songs, “you‟re
my cave and I‟ve been hiding out” is
just, about where you were in my
life and how much I liked you, and
how I hid in that hope that maybe
someday we could be together
even if you pushed me away.
We„ve been “friends” for a long
time!
I TALKED TO YOU ON TUMBLR THAT ONE TIME
Things That Mean A lot To Me

This was supposed to be us, in the bus station
or wherever we meet for the first time, and this
is what it was supposed to be like.
And I know you know what I mean.
WAIT UP (BOOTS OF
DANGER)
TOKYO
POLICE
CLUB
The whole persona of the song is kind of like, a changed relationship, one person falls in love and the other one falls out. I think that‟s us? I still have all these delusions of what I want to happen that won‟t and you‟re just doing your thing. I still want you to “introduce me to your friends, with the music and the lights and everything” (I always imagined us meeting up at a concert and meeting eachothersfriends), and I still want to be “making up for lost time, making it with me” (I‟m still rooting for us, and want us to make it.)
This Was Supposed To Be Us

They made it work, why can‟t we.
END OF A SPARK
TOKYO

“we will always be newly weds”
“a flash in the dark” – I was sad,
and you made me really fucking
happy.
I just always thought if we were
going to be a movie, this would be
the music in our trailer. We‟d rock
the boxoffice.
Expectations of us meeting for the
first time

Context, you and whichever one of your
friends you prefer are packing up to come to
Toronto, and he bails last minute and so does
my friend, but we go anyways. And we meet at
the bus station and there's some much long-
awaited couple stuff going on
KISS CAM
ARKELLS “our love never needed any pretty scenery”
(scenery meaning that there probably wasn‟t any scenery, let alone a pretty one, meaning we never saw eachother)
“true love is always complicated, your friends never liked me much at all” (we live kilometers apart, that‟s pretty complicated – and lol haleyhates us.
“at a time you were kissing me, the camera caught chemistry, cheering for us in the cheap seats” – there WAS chemistry there, right?
I just really love kiss cam, I really love the arkells, I really love you
What would happen if you don‟t
give me a second chance

Context is, basically, we meet at a county fair
after not talking for a few months… and for
some reason you‟re eating hay alone in a
corner and I‟m not wearing a shirt and there‟s
clearly some sexual tension.
I‟M NOT THE SUN
ARKELLS “your eyes light up, always the same,
just like I was taking you on a first date, give me a reason for feeling this way.” (you always had the brightest eyes, you‟re always so shiny and happy, and I always wished for that first date where I could hold your hand for real and touch something real. Give me a reason for feeling this way means validate this whole thing, I don‟t want this to be some dream I had, where we both walk away like none of it actually happened. Make it real.”
Late night skype-ing at it‟s finest.
YOU LOOK ASIAN AND I‟M SLEEPING
TRANSATLANTICISM

FOR CUTIE
I NEED YOU SO MUCH CLOSER
And I love it (I was being hitler)
YOU MAKE FUN OF ME
CAN‟T HELP FALLING IN

(ELVIS
COVER)
From the trailer for Like Crazy, so I
associate it with both that movie
(couple tries to make it work long
distance, meet other people, but find a
way back to each other) and with the
lyrics, obviously. “wise men say only
fools rush in” maybe we were stupid
for rushing into something that maybe
couldn‟t work. “Some things are meant
to be, so won‟t you please just take my
hand” (maybe WE‟RE meant to be)
PROS AND CONS
We can cuddle
We can late night Skype
I‟ll have someone to talk about music with
We can be dorky together
I‟ll let you insult me if you let me insult you
I‟ll rub your back for long period of time
I‟ll stop making fun of the leafs
I‟ll still let you chirp the habs
We can watch hockey together
We can have a secret handshake
We can take cute couple pictures
We can make Haley really jealous
Literally no cons
Pros Cons
ONLY
OKAY “some days are so long” – hard
spending days apart
“some things turn out wrong” – this
PowerPoint is probably getting long
and tedious and creepy.
“I want you to know it‟s alright”

A FAMOUS MUSICIAN‟S INPUT
ON THE SUBJECT
“Hi, I’m Dan Mangan, and I think this girl is really cool for
making you a PowerPoint. She must like you an awful
lot, dude. Just sayin’, you should probably give her a
chance, man.”
Hopefully I‟ll see you before I
leave
THAT‟S ALL, BYE.
