If you’re over cheesy puns and emoji sets, but are interested in pasting some fresh lyrics into the caption space, look no further. From selfies and #OOTD posts to vacation pics and #WCW dedications, here is some inspiration from LANY lovers on Insta.

“Get ya under pink skies/I know exactly where we should go” — “pink skies”

 

Get ya under pink skies I know exactly where we should go ���� // @thisislany

A post shared by Hannah Ann (@hannah70x7) on

Naturally, the opening line of the “pink skies” chorus is perfect for a sunset photo.

“You are my number one, baby/I like you lots”“like you lots”

 

��// you are my number one, baby, I like you lots

Shout out your fave — whether it’s a band member, a pet or significant other — with this sweet line. Save it to use on a #WCW or #MCM post. They will love it.

Left flowers on the floor “Flowers On The Floor”

Could be used for a photo of flowers literally on the floor — like, a trail of romantic rose petals or a bouquet left haphazardly by a trash can. This works for anything floral, honestly.

“Waking up to nothing when you're super far from home” “Super Far”

A post shared by charlotte cunningham (@lottie.cunningham) on

Great lyric to use as a caption when you are actually “super-far from home” (vacation, work trip, school, etc.), but it could also accompany an artistic nature shot or abstract photo if you are trying to convey feelings of distance and loneliness to your followers.

“You've stolen my heart and run it over” “BRB”

 

you've stolen my heart and run it over.

A post shared by alicia (@alicia_patton) on

Appropriate to use with a photo that features a vehicle or a road. Very fitting if you are feeling crushed over a love situation and want to express some bummed feels via lyric caption.

Orange through the blinds, the sun is almost down” “Made In Hollywood”

 

orange through the blinds the sun is almost down ������ i miss venice a lot ��

A post shared by LANY worshipper ♀ (@pinkskieslilly) on

Yet another good lyric for a picture taken during the golden hour — envision the sun peeking through blinds at sunset or a beautiful beachscape. Or, it could also be used on an image that primarily features the color orange, sans a sunset.

“Wear our shades on our nose ‘cause we're cool like that” “Made In Hollywood”

For those selfies where you’re rocking some serious sunnies, of course.

“Let's drive around town holding hands” — “ILYSB”

 

Let's drive around town, holding hands��

A post shared by Bea Dela isla (@bea.delaisla) on

Perfect for car pictures with a special someone. Bonus points if hand-holding is actually captured, making the lyric real life.

“Mad cool in all my clothes” “ILYSB”

 

Mad cool in all my clothes, mad warm when you get close to me ��

#OOTD, duh. Shamelessly show off a look you put together or a new outfit you’re dying over.

This feels like, like the calm before the storm” — “13”

Gloomy, but elegantly moody, pre-rain pictures (dark skies, calm water, empty streets, etc.) can be paired with this line from “13.”

“I'm selfless, drunk on you/What more could I do?”“Good Girls”

Whether it’s a candid or a plandid, a photo of you or a friend smiling, laughing or drinking, can be described in this one line. 

“Pancakes, champagne, 15 away, it's almost 2”“Pancakes”

Ditch the basic and overused breakfast or brunch-themed captions (i.e.: But first, brunch” or “Brunch is always a good idea” — ugh, eyeroll) for some LANY lyrics.

“Cloud nine times nine my mind when I'm gone with you” “Pancakes”

 

Cloud nine times nine my mind when I'm gone with you

A post shared by Anne (@chizelleanne) on

A killer pic of the clouds in the sky would be fitting, of course, but this line would also work super well on a cute photo of you and with your bae — the lyric caption will make them melt.

“Pacing through the back of my mind/Maybe you've been a storm all this time”  “Hericane”

 

Pacing through the back of my mind Maybe you've been a storm all this time ��

A post shared by Ivy Rivera (@ivyrivera) on

You could take this line literally and photograph a storm (hello, pretty lightning shots or close-ups of flowers with rain drops on them) or have a post-storm photoshoot in puddles, as seen above.
