Lazy lover, find a place for me again

You felt it once before

I know you did, I could see it

{Magnus couldn't help himself from picking up the phone and dialling Alec at outrageous times in the morning, he just wanted him to know that he changed his mind}

Whisky princess

Drink me under, pull me in

You had me at come over boy

I need a friend

I understand

{Alec always listened to the answer phone messages that Magnus left, and each one made him a little more tempted to phone him back. Until he did}

Backseat serenade

Dizzy hurricane

Oh God, I'm sick of sleeping alone

{Your city is full of demons, and you want to know why I haven't called you? I want to know why you haven't called me back. It seemed ages ago, but there they were staring at each other, gravitating towards each other}

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the sweat away

To your radio

{The kisses were sloppy and desperate but neither cared because with each one they were becoming whole again}

Backseat serenade

Little hand grenade

Oh God, I'm sick of sleeping alone

{At first, every little fight ended up making them laugh because they both knew that however many times they yelled at each other to go, neither of them wanted that at all. They were learning to love again}

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the pain away

To your radio

{If you asked Magnus what Alec was like when other people weren't around, he would have smiled wistfully and told you he was different. If you asked Alec what Magnus was like, he would have blushed.}

You take me over

I throw you up against the wall

We've seen it all before

But this was different

It's deliberate

{After aeons of searching for the right one, Magnus was starting to belive he'd found it in Alec. Alec Lightwood wasn't one to mince words; he rather liked Magnus's passion. It made him feel beautiful.}

You send me reeling

Calling out to you for more

The value of this moment lives in metaphor

Yah, throw it all

{As Alec lay dying on the cold battlefeild, Magnus knew he would always treasure the words he told him. Don't you dare be stupid. It would echo in his head when he was going to do anything Alec wouldn't approve of}

Backseat serenade

Dizzy hurricane

Oh God, I'm sick of sleeping alone

{After sixty years alone, Magnus forgot the exact colour of Alec's eyes. That was also the day he had his title of High Warlock taken away for causing a destructivr fire in New York City}

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the sweat away

To your radio

{Countless lovers. He'd promised Alec not to be stupid, but found himself beind stupid to hear his voice. They were all dead now. He was the only one left}

Backseat serenade

Little hand grenade

Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

{Dammit Lightwood. I thought you said you were never going to leave me. I hate you. I hate you. Why did you have to leave me alone? I hate this}

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the pain away

To your radio

{One day Alec's great nephew Matthew told Magnus that he wanted his blessing to marry the man he loved. Magnus broke down in tears and told him yes from both of them}

Backseat serenade

Dizzy hurricane

Oh God, I'm sick of sleeping alone

{Everyday turned into waiting for something to kill him off without having to do it himself and break his promise to Alec. The Lightwoods didn't even know who he was anymore}

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the sweat away

To your radio

{It's ironic, Magnus thought, that I'm going to die in almost the same place as he did. If they have any sort of decency, they'll bury me with him}

Backseat serenade

Little hand grenade

Oh aren't you sick of sleeping alone

{Ave atque vale, friend and lover of the Nephilim}

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the pain away

To your radio

{Alexander Gideon Lightwood. 1989- 2015. Magnus Bane, warlock, C1300- 2102. Together at last}

(Oh God I'm sick of sleeping alone)
