Tune Tuesday: ‘Start of Something Good’ by Daughtry

Every Tuesday here at The Mortal Instruments Source is Tune Tuesday, where we share a song that relates to The Mortal Instruments or The Infernal Devices. This week’s Tune Tuesday was inspired by the awesomeness that is Malec.

“Start of Something Good” by Daughtry

These are the lyrics of the song that really stuck out:

“You never know when you're gonna meet someone And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone You're just walking around and suddenly Everything that you thought that you knew about love is gone You find out it's all been wrong And all my scars don't seem to matter anymore Cause they led me here to you I know that its gonna take sometime I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind This might end up like it should And I'm gonna say what I need to say And hope to god that it don't scare you away Don't wanna be misunderstood But I'm starting to believe that this could be the start of something good"

Here is a Malec snippet from Kissed, an outtake scene about Alec and Magnus' first kiss:

Alec thought of his bedroom back at the Institute, of being in a delirium of pain and poison when Magnus had come in. He had barely recognized him. He was fairly sure he’d been screaming for his parents, for Jace, for Izzy, but his voice would only come out on a whisper. He remembered Magnus’ hands on him, his fingers cool and gentle. He remembered the death-grip he’d kept on Magnus’ wrist, for hours and hours, even after the pain had passed and he knew he would be all right. He remembered watching Magnus’ face in the light of the rising sun, the gold of sunrise sparking gold out of his eyes, and thinking how oddly beautiful he was, with his cat’s gaze and grace.

Oh, Malec. How you make us smile.

Lyrics:

You never know when you’re gonna meet someone
And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone
You’re just walking around and suddenly
Everything that you thought that you knew about love is gone

You find out it’s all been wrong
And all my scars don’t seem to matter anymore
Cause they led me here to you

[CHORUS]
I know that its gonna take sometime
I’ve got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
This might end up like it should
And I’m gonna say what I need to say
And hope to god that it don’t scare you away
Don’t wanna be misunderstood
But I’m starting to believe that this could be the start of something good

Everyone knows life has its Ups and downs
One day you’re on top of the world and one day you’re the clown

Well I’ve been both enough to know
That you don’t wanna get in the way when its working out
The way that it is right now
You see my heart i wear it on my sleeve
Cause I just can’t hide it anymore

[CHORUS]
I know that it’s gonna take sometime
I’ve got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
This might end up like it should
And I’m gonna say what I need to say
And hope to god that it don’t scare you away
Don’t wanna be misunderstood
But I’m starting to believe that this could be the start

Cause I don’t know where it’s going
There’s a part of me that loves not knowing
Just don’t let it end before we begin

You never know when you gonna meet someone
And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone
