(You Just) Died In My Arms [(I Just) Died In Your Arms--Cutting Crew: A Song of Fire and Ice Song Parody/Adaptation]

Summary:

An ASOIAF/GOT adaptation/parody of the song (I Just) Died In Your Arms.
The song is adapted to fit the love story of Jon Snow and Ygritte.
This one is pretty silly despite being about Jon's first love literally dying in his arms during the Battle for the Wall.
The original lyrics from Cutting Crew, (I Just) Died In Your Arms (1986) are included for comparison.

Chapter Text

Oh you, you just died in my arms tonight

It must have been that kid with a bow

You just died in my arms tonight

 

I keep tryin' to save the realms of men

White Walkers rise all around me

Trying to stop frostbite from setting in

Her hair, like fire, it's so breathtaking 

The Wall's weeping, the Others are waking

Who would've thought that a bastard like me could rise like this

 

Oh you, you just died in my arms tonight

It must've been that kid with a bow 

You just died in my arms tonight

Oh you, you just died in my arms tonight

It must've been the lord's kiss

We shouldn't've left that cave

We shouldn't've left that cave

 

Is there any just cause for feelin' so small?

On the surface, I'm a crow on the Wall

I try to be sneaky, but then you shoot me again

I've chosen my duty, it's my final mistake

She's living life freely, she knows what's at stake

'Cause I've been called to freedom one too many times

 

Oh you, you just died in my arms tonight

It must've been that kid with a bow 

You just died in my arms tonight

Oh you, you just died in my arms tonight

It must've been the lord's kiss

We shouldn't've left that cave

We shouldn't've left that cave

 

It was a cold dark night

She stole me, she made it feel right

But she's gone, life isn't a song

I followed my vows not my heart, don't know if I was wrong

 

Oh you, you just died in my arms tonight

It must've been that kid with a bow

You just died in my arms tonight

You, you just died in my arms tonight

It must've been the lord's kiss

We shouldn't've left that cave

We shouldn't've left that cave

Chapter Text

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must have been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

 

I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get

Broken hearts lie all around me

And I don't see an easy way to get out of this

Her diary, it sits by the bedside table

The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle

Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away

I should've walked away

 

Is there any just cause for feelin' like this?

On the surface, I'm a name on a list

I try to be discreet, but then blow it again

I've lost and found, it's my final mistake

She's loving by proxy, no give and all take

'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away

I should've walked away

 

It was a long hot night

She made it easy, she made it feel right

But now it's over, the moment has gone

I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been something you said

I just died in your arms tonight

I, I just died in your arms tonight

It must've been some kind of kiss

I should've walked away

I should've walked away
