Taylor Swift Lyrics

1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023)

Welcome To New York (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

Everybody here wanted something more

Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before

And it said

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack

I could dance to this beat, beat forever more

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors

Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer

Everybody here was someone else before

And you can want who you want

Boys and boys and girls and girls

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack

I could dance to this beat, beat forever more

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me, me

Welcome to New York (New York)

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Like any great love, it keeps you guessing

Like any real love, it's ever changing

Like any true love, it drives you crazy

But you know you wouldn't change

Anything, anything, anything

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's been waiting for you

Welcome to New York

Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack

I could dance to this beat

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me (Welcome to New York)

New soundtrack

It's been waiting for you (Welcome to New York)

The lights are so bright

But they never blind me (Welcome to New York)

So bright they never blind me (Welcome to New York)

Welcome to New York

Blank Space (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Nice to meet you, where you been?

I could show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Saw you there and I thought

"Oh my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake

Love's a game, wanna play?"

Aye, new money, suit and tie

I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny? Rumors fly

And I know you heard about me, so hey, let's be friends

I'm dyin' to see how this one ends

Grab your passport and my hand

I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mmm

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies

I could show you incredible things

Stolen kisses, pretty lies

You're the king, baby, I'm your queen

Find out what you want

Be that girl for a month

Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms

I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

Keep you second-guessin' like

"Oh my God, who is she?"

I get drunk on jealousy

But you'll come back each time you leave

'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mmm

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless (Ooh)

We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm (Oh)

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane (Insane)

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever

Or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mmm (Over)

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

'Cause you know I love the players

And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless

We'll take this way too far (Ooh)

It'll leave you breathless, mmm

Or with a nasty scar (Leave a nasty scar)

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They'll tell you I'm insane

But I've got a blank space, baby

And I'll write your name

Style (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Midnight

You come and pick me up, no headlights

Long drive

Could end in burning flames or paradise

Fade into view, oh

It's been a while since I have even heard from you (Heard from you)

I should just tell you to leave, 'cause I

Know exactly where it leads, but I

Watch us go 'round and 'round each time

You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style

We never go out of style

You got that long hair slicked back, white t-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style

We never go out of style

So it goes

He can't keep his wild eyes on the road

Takes me home

Lights are off, he's takin' off his coat, mmm, yeah

I say, "I heard, oh

That you've been out and about with some other girl

Some other girl"

He says, "What you heard is true, but I

Can't stop thinking 'bout you and I"

I said, "I've been there too a few times"

'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style

We never go out of style

You got that long hair slicked back, white t-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (A tight little skirt)

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style (We never go, we never go)

We never go out of style

Take me home

Just take me home

Yeah, just take me home, oh (Out of style)

'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time

'Cause we never go out of style

We never go out of style

Out Of The Woods (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Looking at it now

It all seems so simple

We were lying on your couch

I remember

And you took a Polaroid of us

Then discovered (Then discovered)

The rest of the world was black and white

But we were in screaming color

And I remember thinking

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods?

Looking at it now

Last December (Last December)

We were built to fall apart

And fall back together (Back together)

Ooh, your necklace hanging from my neck

The night we couldn't quite forget

When we decided, we decided

To move the furniture so we could dance

Baby, like we stood a chance

Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying

And I remember thinking

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods?

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon

Twenty stitches in a hospital room

When you started crying, baby, I did too

But when the sun came up, I was looking at you

Remember when you couldn't take the heat

I walked out, I said, "I'm setting you free"

But the monsters turned out to be just trees

When the sun came up, you were looking at me

You were looking at me, oh

You were looking at me

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods? (I remember)

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good (Oh, I remember)

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? (Yeah)

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? (Are we?)

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet? (Yeah, yeah)

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good (Do you remember?)

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good

All You Had To Do Was Stay (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

People like you always want back

The love they gave away

And people like me wanna believe you

When you say you've changed

The more I think about it now

The less I know

All I know is that you drove us

Off the road (Stay)

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand then

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? (Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it

Back, now that it's just too late

Well, could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

Here you are now, callin' me up

But I don't know what to say

I've been pickin' up the pieces

Of the mess you made

People like you always want back

The love they pushed aside

But people like me are gone forever

When you say goodbye (Stay)

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand then

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? (Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it

Back, now that it's just too late

Well, could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was (Stay, stay)

Let me remind you

This was what you wanted (You ended it)

You were all I wanted (But not like this)

Not like this, not like this

Oh, all you had to do was (Stay)

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand then

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? (Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it

Back, now that it's just too late

Well, could've been easy

All you had to do was stay

Hey, all you had to do was stay

Had me in the palm of your hand then

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in? (Stay)

Hey, now you say you want it

Back, now that it's just too late

Well, could've been easy (All you had to do was stay)

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay

Shake It Off (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I stay out too late

Got nothing in my brain

That's what people say, mmm-mmm

That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates

But I can't make 'em stay

At least, that's what people say, mmm-mmm

That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising

Can't stop, won't stop movin'

It's like I got this music in my mind

Sayin' it's gonna be alright

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake it off, I shake it off

Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat

I'm lightning on my feet

And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancin' on my own (Dancin' on my own)

I make the moves up as I go (Moves up as I go)

And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising

Can't stop, won't stop groovin'

It's like I got this music in my mind

Sayin' it's gonna be alright

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake it off, I shake it off

Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

Hey, hey, hey

Just think, while you've been gettin' down and out

About the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world

You coulda been gettin' down to this sick beat

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend, she's like

Oh, my God, but I'm just gonna shake

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair

Won't you come on over, baby, we can shake, shake, shake (Yeah, oh)

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (Haters gonna hate)

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off (Hey)

Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (They fake, and fake, and fake)

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off (Yeah)

Shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off (You've got to)

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

I-I-I shake it off, I shake it off

I Wish You Would (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

It's 2:00 AM in your car

Windows down, you pass my street, the memories start

You say it's in the past, you drive straight ahead

You're thinking that I hate you now 'cause you still don't know what I never said

I wish you would come back

Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I

Wish you knew that

I'd never forget you as long as I live, and I

Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good

I wish you would

It's 2:00 AM in my room

Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you

We're a crooked love in a straight line down

Makes you want to run and hide, and it makes you turn right back around

I wish you would come back

Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I

Wish you knew that

I'd never forget you as long as I live, and I

Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good

I wish you would

I wish we could go back

And remember what we were fighting for, and I

Wish you knew that

I miss you too much to be mad anymore, and I

Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good

I wish you would

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I, wish I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I, wish I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I, wish I

You always knew how to push my buttons

You give me everything and nothing

This mad, mad love makes you come running

To stand back where you stood

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish, I wish, I

2:00 AM, here we are

See your face, hear my voice in the dark

We're a crooked love in a straight line down

Makes you wanna run and hide, but it made us turn right back around

I wish you would come back

Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I

Wish you knew that

I'd never forget you as long as I live, and I

Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good

I wish you would

I wish you would come back

Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I

Wish you knew that

I'd never forget you as long as I live, and I

Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good

I wish you would

I wish we could go back

And remember what we were fighting for, and I

Wish you knew that

I miss you too much to be mad anymore, and I

Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good

I wish you would

You always knew how to push my buttons

You give me everything and nothing

This mad, mad love makes you come running

To stand back where you stood

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would, I wish you would, I wish you would

I, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I, wish I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I wish I, wish I

I wish you would

Bad Blood (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Did you have to do this?

I was thinking that you could be trusted

Did you have to ruin

What was shiny? Now it's all rusted

Did you have to hit me

Where I'm weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe and

Rub it in so deep

Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me

Oh, it's so sad to

Think about the good times

You and I

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Did you think we'd be fine?

Still got scars on my back from your knife

So, don't think it's in the past

These kinds of wounds they last, and they last

Now, did you think it all through?

All these things will catch up to you

And time can heal but this won't

So if you're coming my way

Just don't

Oh, it's so sad to

Think about the good times

You and I

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts (Ghosts)

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts, mmm

If you love like that

Blood runs cold

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey (Bad blood, bad blood)

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em (Think we can solve 'em)

You made a really deep cut

And baby, now we got bad blood

And baby, now we got bad blood ('Cause now we got bad blood)

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done (Look what you've done)

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And baby, now we got bad blood, hey

Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

He said, "Let's get out of this town

Drive out of the city, away from the crowds"

I thought, "Heaven can't help me now"

Nothing lasts forever

But this is gonna take me down

He's so tall and handsome as hell

He's so bad, but he does it so well

I can see the end as it begins

My one condition is

Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your

Wildest dreams, ah, ha

Wildest dreams, ah, ha

I said, "No one has to know what we do"

His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room

And his voice is a familiar sound

Nothin' lasts forever

But this is gettin' good now

He's so tall and handsome as hell

He's so bad, but he does it so well

And when we've had our very last kiss

My last request it is

Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your

Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ha, ha)

Wildest dreams, ah, ha

You'll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burnin' it down

Someday, when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow you around

You'll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burnin' (Burnin') it (It) down (Down)

Someday, when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow (Follow) you (You) around (Around)

(Follow you around)

Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just pretend

Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your (Just pretend, just pretend)

Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ah-ah)

In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

Even if it's just in your

In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

How You Get The Girl (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Stand there like a ghost, shaking from the rain, rain

She'll open up the door and say, "Are you insane-ane?"

Say it's been a long six months

And you were too afraid to tell her what you want, want

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl

And then, you say

I want you for worse or for better

I would wait forever and ever

Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

I would wait forever and ever

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl

Oh-oh

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl

Remind her how it used to be, be, yeah, yeah

With pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks, cheeks

Tell her how you must have lost your mind, ooh

When you left her all alone, and never told her why, why

And that's how it works

That's how you lost the girl

And now, you say

I want you for worse or for better

I would wait forever and ever (Ever and ever)

Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

I would wait forever and ever (Ever and ever)

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl

Oh-oh

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl, yeah, yeah

And you know, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

That I don't want you to go

Remind me how it used to be

Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks

And say you want me

Yeah, yeah, 'cause (And then you say)

I want you for worse or for better (Worse or for better)

I would wait forever and ever (Ever and ever)

Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

I want you forever and ever

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl ('Cause that's how it works)

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl (Get the girl, that's how it works)

And that's how it works (Oh-oh)

That's how you get the girl, girl (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

And that's how it works

That's how you got the girl

This Love (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Clear blue water

High tide came and brought you in

And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will

Skies grew darker

Currents swept you out again

And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone

In silent screams, in wildest dreams

I never dreamed of this

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead, oh

These hands had to let it go free, and

This love came back to me, oh

Oh, oh

Tossing, turning

Struggled through the night with someone new

Baby, I could go on and on, on and on

Lantern, burning

Flickered in my mind for only you

But you were still gone, gone, gone

In losing grip, on sinking ships

You showed up just in time

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead, oh

These hands had to let it go free, and

This love came back to me, oh

This love left a permanent mark

This love is glowing in the dark, oh

These hands had to let it go free, and

This love came back to me, oh

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love)

Your kiss, my cheek

I watched you leave

Your smile, my ghost

I fell to my knees

When you're young, you just run

But you come back to what you need

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead, oh

These hands had to let it go free, and

This love came back to me, oh

(This love) This love left a permanent mark

(This love) This love is glowing in the dark, oh

(This love) These hands had to let it go free, and

(This love) This love came back to me, oh

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love)

(This love) This love came back to me, oh

I Know Places (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

You stand with your hand on my waistline

It's a scene and we're out here in plain sight

I can hear them whisper as we pass by

It's a bad sign, bad sign

Something happens when everybody finds out

See the vultures circling, dark clouds

Love's a fragile little flame, it could burn out

It could burn out

'Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes and guns

They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run

Baby, I know places we won't be found

And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down

'Cause I, I know places we can hide

I know places, I know places

Lights flash and we'll run for the fences

Let them say what they want, we won't hear it

Loose lips sink ships all the damn time

Not this time

Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, my love

They are the hunters, we are the foxes, and we run

Baby, I know places we won't be found

And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down

'Cause I, I know places we can hide

I know places

They are the hunters, we are the foxes, and we run

Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, my love

Baby, I know places we won't be found

And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down

'Cause I, I know places we can hide

I know places

They take their shots, but we're bulletproof (I, I know places)

And you know for me, it's always you (Hide, I know places)

In the dead of night, your eyes so green (I, I know places)

And I know for you, it's always me (Hide, I know places)

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Clean (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

The drought was the very worst

Ah-ah, ah-ah

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months, and months of back and forth

Ah-ah, ah-ah

You're still all over me

Like a wine stained dress I can't wear anymore

Hung my head as I lost the war

And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do

Ah-ah, ah-ah

When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room

So I punched a hole in the roof

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud

But no one heard a thing

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

I think I am finally clean

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Said, I think I am finally clean

Ah-ah-ah

Ten months sober, I must admit

Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it

Ten months older, I won't give in

Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

Ah-ah, ah-ah

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

The rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

Finally clean

Think I'm finally clean

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Think I'm finally clean

Wonderland (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Flashing lights and we

Took a wrong turn, and we

Fell down a rabbit hole

You held on tight to me

'Cause nothing's as it seems

And spinning out of control

Didn't they tell us "Don't rush into things"?

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?

Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?

Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?

I felt your arms twisting around me

I should've slept with one eye open at night

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it

And we pretended it could last forever, eh-eh

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it

And life was never worse but never better, eh-eh

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

So we went on our way

Too in love to think straight

All alone, or so it seemed

But there were strangers watching

And whispers turned to talking

And talking turned to screams, oh

Didn't they tell us "Don't rush into things"?

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?

Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire Cat smile?

Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?

I felt your arms twisting around me

It's all fun and games till somebody loses their mind

Oh, darling

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it

And we pretended it could last forever, eh-eh

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it

And life was never worse but never better, eh-eh

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh, in Wonderland

I reached for you, but you were gone

I knew I had to go back home

You searched the world for something else

To make you feel like what we had

And in the end, in Wonderland we both went mad, oh

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it

And we pretended it could last forever, eh-eh (Could last forever)

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it (Got lost in it)

And life was never worse but never better, eh-eh (Never better)

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it (In Wonderland)

And we pretended it could last forever (In Wonderland)

We found Wonderland

You and I got lost in it (In Wonderland)

And life was never worse but never better (In Wonderland)

You Are In Love (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

One look, dark room meant just for you

Time moved too fast, you played it back

Buttons on a coat, light-hearted joke

No proof, not much, but you saw enough

Small talk, he drives, coffee at midnight

The light reflects the chain on your neck

He says, "Look up," and your shoulders brush

No proof, one touch, but you felt enough

You can hear it in the silence, silence

You, you can feel it on the way home, way home

You, you can see it with the lights out, lights out

You are in love, true love

You are in love

Morning, his place, burnt toast, Sunday

You keep his shirt, he keeps his word

And for once, you let go

Of your fears and your ghosts

One step, not much, but it said enough

You kiss on sidewalks, you fight then you talk

One night, he wakes, strange look on his face

Pauses, then says, "You're my best friend"

And you knew what it was, he is in love

You can hear it in the silence, silence

You, you can feel it on the way home, way home

You, you can see it with the lights out, lights out

You are in love, true love

You are in love

And so it goes

You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round

And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown

And you understand now why

They lost their minds and fought the wars

And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

'Cause you can hear it in the silence

You can feel it on the way home

You can see it with the lights out

You are in love, true love

You are in love

You can hear it in the silence, silence

You, you can feel it on the way home, way home

You, you can see it with the lights out, lights out

You are in love, true love

You are in love

You can hear it in the silence, silence

You, you can feel it on the way home, way home

You, you can see it with the lights out, lights out

You are in love, true love

You are in love

New Romantics (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything

We wait for trains that just aren't coming

We show off our different scarlet letters

Trust me, mine is better

We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin

We play dumb, but we know exactly what we're doing

We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom

Honey, life is just a classroom

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heart break is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

We're all here, the lights and noise are blinding

We hang back, it's all in the timing

It's poker, he can't see it in my face

But I'm about to play my ace

We need love, but all we want is danger

We team up and switch sides like a record changer

The rumors are terrible and cruel

But, honey, most of them are true

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heart break is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

So come on, come along with me

The best people in life are free

Please take my hand and

Please take me dancing and

Please leave me stranded, it's so romantic (It's so romantic)

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

Oh, 'cause, baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

Every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle (Castle)

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heart break is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

"Slut!" (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Flamingo pink, Sunrise Boulevard

Clink, clink, being this young is art

Aquamarine, moonlit swimmin' pool

What if all I need is you?

Got love-struck, went straight to my head

Got lovesick all over my bed

Love to think you'll never forget

Handprints in wet cement

Adorned with smoke on my clothes

Lovelorn and nobody knows

Love thorns all over this rose

I'll pay the price, you won't

But if I'm all dressed up

They might as well be lookin' at us

And if they call me a slut

You know it might be worth it for once

And if I'm gonna be drunk

I might as well be drunk in love

Send the code, he's waitin' there

The sticks and stones they throw froze mid-air

Everyone wants him, that was my crime

The wrong place at the right time

And I break down, then he's pullin' me in

In a world of boys, he's a gentleman

Got love-struck, went straight to my head (Straight to my head)

Got lovesick all over my bed (Over my bed)

Love to think you'll never forget

We'll pay the price, I guess

But if I'm all dressed up (If I'm all dressed up)

They might as well be lookin' at us (Lookin' at us)

And if they call me a slut (If they call me a slut)

You know it might be worth it for once (Worth it for once)

And if I'm gonna be drunk

I might as well be drunk in love

Half asleep, takin' your time

In the tangerine, neon light, this is luxury

You're not sayin' you're in love with me

But you're going to

Half awake, takin' your chances

It's a big mistake, I said, "It might blow up in your pretty face"

I'm not saying, "Do it anyway" (Do it anyway)

But you're going to

(Up)

And if they call me a (Slut)

You know it might be worth it for once

And if I'm gonna be (Drunk)

I might as well be drunk in love

Say Don't Go (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I've known it from the very start

We're a shot in the darkest dark

Oh no, oh no

I'm unarmed

The waiting is a sadness

Fading into madness

Oh no, oh no

It won't stop

I'm standing on a tightrope, alone

I hold my breath a little bit longer

Halfway out the door, but it won't close

I'm holding out hope for you to say, "Don't go"

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

Say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Say, say, say, say

Now I'm pacing on shaky ground

Strike a match, then you blow it out

Oh no, oh no

It's not fair

'Cause you kiss me and it stops time

And I'm yours, but you're not mine

Oh no, oh no

You're not there

I'm standing on the sidewalk, alone

I wait for you to drive by

I was trying to see the cards that you won't show

I'm about to fold unless you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Oh-ah

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

Say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Say, say, say, say

Why'd you have to make me want you? (Why'd you have to make me want you?)

Why'd you have to give me nothing back? (Why'd you have to)

Why'd you have to make me love you? (Why'd you have to make me love you?)

I said, "I love you," you say nothing back (I said, "I love you")

Why'd you have to lead me on?

Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Walk away and leave me bleeding, bleeding

Why'd you whisper in the dark

Just to leave me in the night?

Now your silence has me screaming, screaming

Say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go" (Say, "Don't go")

Say, say, say, say

But you won't

But you won't

But you won't

I would stay forever if you say, "Don't go"

But you won't

But you won't

But you won't

Now That We Don't Talk (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - Taylor Swift

You went to a party, I heard from everybody

You part the crowd like the Red Sea, don't even get me started

Did you get anxious though, on the way home?

I guess I'll never, ever know

Now that we don't talk

You grew your hair long, you got new icons

And from the outside, it looks like you're trying lives on

I miss the old ways, you didn't have to change

But I guess I don't have a say

Now that we don't talk

I called my mom, she said that it was for the best

Remind myself the more I gave, you'd want me less

I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost

And what it cost

Now that we don't talk

What do you tell your friends we

Shared dinners, long weekends with?

Truth is, I can't pretend it's

Platonic, it's just ended, so

I called my mom, she said to get it off my chest (Off my chest)

Remind myself the way you faded till I left (Till I left)

I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost (What I lost)

And what it cost

Now that we don't talk

I don't have to pretend I like acid rock

Or that I'd like to be on a mega-yacht

With important men who think important thoughts

Guess maybe I am better off

Now that we don't talk

And the only way back to my dignity

Was to turn into a shrouded mystery

Just like I had been when you were chasing me

Guess this is how it has to be

Now that we don't talk

Suburban Legends (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - Taylor Swift

You had people who called you on unmarked numbers

In my peripheral vision

I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer

All was quickly forgiven

You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious

Flush with the currency of cool

I was always turning out my empty pockets

And when it came to you

I didn't come here to make friends

We were born to be suburban legends

When you hold me, it holds me together

And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs

Would surprise the whole school

When I ended up back at our class reunion

Walking in with you

You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries

With the pages ripped out

I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium

And I can still see you now

I didn't come here to make friends

We were born to be suburban legends

When you hold me, it holds me together

And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

I know that you still remember

We were born to be national treasures

When you told me we'd get back together

And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it

Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door

You don't knock anymore, and my whole life's ruined

Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it

Waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door

You don't knock anymore, and I always knew it

And my life had been ruined

Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Once the flight had flown

With the wilt of the rose

I slept all alone

You still wouldn't go

Let's fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later

I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor

You search in every maiden's bed for something greater

Baby, was it over when she laid down on your couch?

Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?

"Come here," I whispered in your ear in your dream as you passed out

Baby, was it over then?

And is it over now?

When you lost control

Red blood, white snow

Blue dress on a boat

Your new girl is my clone

And did you think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights

At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs, and my whispered sighs

Oh Lord, I think about jumping

Off of very tall somethings

Just to see you come running

And say the one thing I've been wanting

But no!

Let's fast forward to 300 awkward blind dates later

If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor

You search in every model's bed for something greater

Baby, was it over when she laid down on your couch?

Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?

"Come here," I whispered in your ear in your dream as you passed out

Baby, was it over then?

And is it over now?

Think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights

At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs, and my whispered sighs

Oh Lord, I think about jumping

Off of very tall somethings

Just to see you come running (Running)

And say the one thing I've been wanting

But no!

(Flashing lights, oh Lord) Let's fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later

(Flashing lights) I was hoping you'd be there

And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no (Oh Lord, oh Lord)

Bad Blood (Remix) (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

I can't take it back, look where I'm at

We was O-G like D.O.C., remember that? (Remember that?)

My T-L-C was quite O-D, I-D my facts

Now P-O-V of you and me, similar Iraq

I don't hate you, but I hate to critique, overrate you

These beats of a dark heart, use basslines to replace you

Take time and erase you, love don't hear no more

No, I don't fear no more, better yet, respect ain't quite sincere no more

Oh, it's so sad to

Think about the good times

You and I

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Remember when you tried to write me off?

Remember when you thought I'd take a loss?

Don't you remember? You thought that I would need ya

Follow procedure, remember? Oh, wait, you got amnesia

It was my season for battle wounds

Battle scars, body bumped, bruised

Stabbed in the back; brimstone, fire jumping through

Still, all my life, I got money and power

And you gotta live with the bad blood now

Oh, it's so sad to

Think about the good times

You and I

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts

You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts

If you love like that, blood runs cold

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em (Don't think we can solve 'em)

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

'Cause, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Sweeter Than Fiction (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear is "No"

You never saw it comin'

Slipped when you started runnin'

And now you've come undone and I, I, I, I

Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh eh

Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade

Wish I could make it better

Someday you won't remember

This pain you thought would last forever and ever

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh oh

All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes

They never saw it comin'

You hit the ground runnin'

And now you're onto something, I, I, I say

What a sight, what a sight when the light came on

Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong

And in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction (than fiction)

I'll be one of the many saying

"Look at you now, look at you now, now"

I'll be one of the many saying

"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud"

I'll be one of the many saying

"Look at you now, look at you now, now"

I'll be one of the many saying

"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud"

And when they call your name

And they put your picture in a frame

You know that I'll be there time and again

'Cause I loved you when, when you

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you heard was "No"

Now in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever)

There you'll stand, ten feet tall (ten feet tall)

I will say, "I knew it all along" (I knew it all along)

Your eyes are wider than distance (your eyes)

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand next to me (next to me)

All at once, the rest is history (ooh)

Your eyes are wider than distance (your eyes)

This life is sweeter than fiction (than fiction)

It's sweeter than fiction

It's sweeter, yeah

It's sweeter than, sweeter

Sweeter than fiction

"Slut!" (Acoustic Version) (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Flamingo pink, Sunrise Boulevard

Clink, clink, being this young is art

Aquamarine, moonlit swimmin' pool

What if all I need is you?

Got love-struck, went straight to my head

Got lovesick all over my bed

Love to think you'll never forget

Handprints in wet cement

Adorned with smoke on my clothes

Lovelorn and nobody knows

Love thorns all over this rose

I'll pay the price, you won't

But if I'm all dressed up

They might as well be lookin' at us

And if they call me a slut

You know it might be worth it for once

And if I'm gonna be drunk

I might as well be drunk in love

Send the code, he's waitin' there

The sticks and stones they throw froze mid-air

Everyone wants him, that was my crime

The wrong place at the right time

And I break down, then he's pullin' me in

In a world of boys, he's a gentleman

Got love-struck, went straight to my head (Straight to my head)

Got lovesick all over my bed (Over my bed)

Love to think you'll never forget

We'll pay the price, I guess

But if I'm all dressed up (If I'm all dressed up)

They might as well be lookin' at us (Lookin' at us)

And if they call me a slut (If they call me a slut)

You know it might be worth it for once (Worth it for once)

And if I'm gonna be drunk

I might as well be drunk in love

Half asleep

Takin' your time in the tangerine

Neon light, this is luxury

You're not sayin' you're in love with me

But you're goin' to

Half awake

Takin' your chance, it's a big mistake

I said, "It might blow up in your pretty face"

I'm not sayin', "Do it anyway" (Do it anyway)

But you're going to

(Up)

And if they call me a (Slut)

You know it might be worth it for once

And if I'm gonna be (Drunk)

I might as well be drunk in love

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023)

Mine (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah

You were in college working part-time, waitin' tables

Left a small town, never looked back

I was a flight risk with a fear of falling

Wonderin' why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say, "Can you believe it?"

As we're lyin' on the couch

The moment I could see it

Yes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember, we were sittin' there by the water?

You put your arm around me for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're takin' on the world together

And there's a drawer of my things at your place

You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded

You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

But we got bills to pay

We got nothing figured out

When it was hard to take

Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

Do you remember, we were sittin' there by the water?

You put your arm around me for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?

You saw me start to believe for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Oh-oh, oh

And I remember that fight, 2:30AM

As everything was slippin' right out of our hands

I ran out cryin' and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye

'Cause that's all I've ever known

Then you took me by surprise

You said, "I'll never leave you alone"

You said, "I remember how it felt sitting by the water

And every time I look at you, it's like the first time

I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter

She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

Hold on and make it last

Hold on, never turn back

(Hold on) You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

(Hold on) You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Yes, yes, do you believe it? (Hold on)

Yes, yes, we're gonna make it now (Hold on, yeah)

Yes, yes, and I can see it (Hold on)

Yes, yes, I can see it now (See it now, see it now)

Sparks Fly (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm

And I'm a house of cards

You're the kind of reckless that should send me runnin'

But I kinda know that I won't get far

And you stood there in front of me, just close enough to touch

Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinkin' of

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain

'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down

Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea

You touch me once and it's really somethin'

You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be

I'm on my guard for the rest of the world

But with you, I know it's no good

And I could wait patiently, but I really wish you would

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain

'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down

Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild

Just keep on keepin' your eyes on me

It's just wrong enough to make it feel right

And lead me up the staircase, won't you whisper soft and slow?

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk (Ah-ah), take away the pain

'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down

Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

And the sparks fly

Oh, baby, smile

And the sparks fly

Back To December (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I'm so glad you made time to see me

How's life? Tell me, how's your family?

I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good, busier than ever

We small talk, work and the weather

Your guard is up and I know why

Because the last time you saw me

Is still burned in the back of your mind

You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So, this is me swallowing my pride

Standin' in front of you sayin', "I'm sorry for that night"

And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

I go back to December all the time

These days, I haven't been sleeping

Stayin' up, playing back myself leavin'

When your birthday passed and I didn't call

Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times

I watched you laughin' from the passenger side

And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came, the dark days

When fear crept into my mind

You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So, this is me swallowing my pride

Standin' in front of you, sayin', "I'm sorry for that night"

And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time

I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile

So good to me, so right

And how you held me in your arms that September night

The first time you ever saw me cry

Maybe this is wishful thinkin'

Probably mindless dreaming

But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't

So, if the chain is on your door, I understand

But this is me swallowing my pride

Standin' in front of you, sayin', "I'm sorry for that night"

And I go back to December

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you

Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright

I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time

All the time

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

I sneak in and see your friends

And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearin' a gown shaped like a pastry

This is surely not what you thought it would be

I lose myself in a daydream

Where I stand and say

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church, at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

And they said, "Speak now"

Fond gestures are exchanged

And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march

And I am hiding in the curtains

It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be

She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen

But I know you wish it was me

You wish it was me, don't you?

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church, at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

And they said, "Speak now"

Don't say yes, run away now (Run away now)

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church, at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow (Say a single vow)

Your time is running out

And they said, "Speak now"

Ooh (Run away now), la

Ooh (Say a single vow), ooh

I hear the preacher say

"Speak now or forever hold your peace"

There's the silence, there's my last chance

I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

But I'm only lookin' at you

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl, haha

So, don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church, at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

They said, "Speak now"

And you say, "Let's run away now (Run away now)

I'll meet you when I'm out

Of my tux, at the back door

Baby, I didn't say my vows (Say a single vow)

So glad you were around

When they said, 'Speak now'"

Dear John (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Long were the nights

When my days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps

Prayin' the floor won't fall through again

And my mother accused me of losin' my mind

But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky

Then go back to turn it to rain

And I lived in your chess game

But you change the rules every day

Wonderin' which version of you

I might get on the phone tonight

Well, I stopped pickin' up

And this song is to let you know why

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I shoulda known

Well, maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame

Or maybe it's you and your sick need

To give love and take it away

And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors

Who don't understand

And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said

"Run as fast as you can"

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong

Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by

Your dark, twisted games when I loved you so?

I shoulda known

You are an expert at "Sorry" and keepin' lines blurry

Never impressed by me acing your tests

All the girls that you run dry have tired, lifeless eyes

'Cause you burned them out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me

So don't look now

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

Oh

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress wrote you a song

You shoulda known

You shoulda known

Don't you think I was too young?

You shoulda known

Mean (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

You, with your words like knives

And swords and weapons that you use against me

You have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feeling like I'm nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I'm wounded

You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well, you can take me down

With just one single blow

But you don't know what you don't know

Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides

And your wildfire lies and your humiliation

You have pointed out my flaws again

As if I don't already see them

I walk with my head down, trying to block you out

'Cause I'll never impress you

I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around

Somebody made you cold

But the cycle ends right now

'Cause you can't lead me down that road

And you don't know what you don't know

Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar

Talking over a football game

With that same big, loud opinion but nobody's listening

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

Drunk and grumblin' on about how I can't sing

But all you are is mean

All you are is mean

And a liar, and pathetic

And alone in life, and mean

And mean, and mean, and mean

But someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah

Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

(Why you gotta be so mean?)

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

(Why you gotta be so mean?)

Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

(Why you gotta be so mean?)

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

The Story Of Us (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly

And people would say, "They're the lucky ones"

I used to know my place was the spot next to you

Now I'm searchin' the room for an empty seat

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Oh, a simple complication

Miscommunications lead to fallout

So many things that I wish you knew

So many walls up, I can't break through

Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

When it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Next chapter

How'd we end up this way?

See me nervously pulling at my clothes and tryin' to look busy

And you're doin' your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us

How I was losin' my mind when I saw you here

But you held your pride like you should've held me

Oh, I'm scared to see the ending

Why are we pretending this is nothin'?

I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how

I've never heard silence quite this loud

Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

When it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest

Of who can act like they care less

But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battle's in your hands now

But I would lay my armor down

If you said you'd rather love than fight

So many things that you wish I knew

But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah

And I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

When it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

'Cause we're goin' down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

The end

Never Grow Up (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming

So I tuck you in, turn on your favourite nightlight

To you, everything's funny

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up

Never grow up

You're in the car, on the way to the movies

And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off

At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do

And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block

Remember that she's gettin' older, too

And don't lose the way that you dance around

In your PJs getting ready for school

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

No one's ever burned you

Nothing's ever left you scarred

And even though you want to

Just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have is, someday, gonna be gone

So, here I am in my new apartment

In a big city, they just dropped me off

It's so much colder than I thought it would be

So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

Wish I'd never grown up

I wish I'd never grown up

Oh, I don't wanna grow up

Wish I'd never grown up, I could still be little

Oh, I don't wanna grow up

Wish I'd never grown up, it could still be simple

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you (Never grow up)

Won't let no one break your heart

And even though you want to

Please, try to never grow up

Oh, oh (Never grow up)

Don't you ever grow up

Oh (Never grow up)

Just never grow up

Enchanted (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"

Across the room, your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparklin', don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up

2AM, who do you love?

I wonder 'til I'm wide awake

And now, I'm pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say

"Hey, it was enchanting to meet you"

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparklin', don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the storyline ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Please, don't be in love with someone else

Please, don't have somebody waiting on you

Please, don't be in love with someone else (Ooh)

Please, don't have somebody waiting on you (Oh-oh)

This night is sparklin', don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushin' all the way home

I'll spend forever wonderin' if you knew

This night is flawless (Please, don't be in love with someone else)

Don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck (Please, don't have somebody waiting on you)

Dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever (Please, don't be in love with someone else)

Wonderin' if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

Please, don't be in love with someone else

Please, don't have somebody waiting on you

Better Than Revenge (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

Ha, time for a little revenge

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer, and

I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him

She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause

She took him faster than you can say "Sabotage"

I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it

I underestimated just who I was dealing with

She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum

She underestimated just who she was stealing from

She's not a saint and she's not what you think

She's an actress, woah

He was a moth to the flame

She was holding the matches, woah

Soon, she's gonna find stealing other people's toys

On the playground won't make you many friends

She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind

There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha

She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list

She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it

I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling, and

She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things

But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know

Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go

Oh, they didn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me

But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

(Think about what you did)

She's not a saint and she's not what you think

She's an actress, woah

He was a moth to the flame

She was holding the matches, woah

Soon, she's gonna find stealing other people's toys

On the playground won't make you many friends

She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind

There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey

You might have him, but haven't you heard?

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey

You might have him, but I always get the last word

Woah, woah-ah-oh

She's not a saint and she's not what you think

She's an actress, woah (She deserved it)

He was a moth to the flame

She was holding the matches, woah

Soon, she's gonna find stealing other people's toys

On the playground won't make you many friends

She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind

There is nothing I do better than revenge

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?

'Cause I don't think you do, oh (No, no, no, no)

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing? (No)

I don't think you do, I don't think you do

Let's hear the applause (Come on, come on)

Come on, show me how much better you are

(So much better, yeah?)

See, you deserve some applause

'Cause you're so much better

She took him faster than you could say "Sabotage"

Innocent (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I guess you really did it this time

Left yourself in your war path

Lost your balance on a tightrope

Lost your mind trying to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?

Always a bigger bed to crawl into

Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything

And everybody believed in you?

It's alright, just wait and see

Your string of lights are still bright to me, oh

Who you are is not where you've been

You're still an innocent

You're still an innocent

Did some things you can't speak of

But at night, you live it all again

You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now

If only you had seen what you know now then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catching days?

When everything out of reach

Someone bigger brought down to you

Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep

Before the monsters caught up to you?

It's alright, just wait and see

Your string of lights are still bright to me, oh

Who you are is not where you've been

You're still an innocent

It's okay, and life is a tough crowd

Thirty-two and still growing up now

Who you are is not what you did

You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers

You'll have new Septembers

Every one of us has messed up, too, ooh

Minds change like the weather

I hope you remember

Today is never too late to be brand new, oh

It's alright, just wait and see

Your string of lights is still bright to me, oh

Who you are is not where you've been

You're still an innocent

It's okay, and life is a tough crowd

Thirty-two and still growing up now

Who you are is not what you did

You're still an innocent

You're still an innocent

Lost your balance on a tightrope, oh

It's never too late to get it back

Haunted (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

You and I walk a fragile line

I have known it all this time

But I never thought I'd live to see it break

It's getting dark and it's all too quiet

And I can't trust anything now

And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake

Oh, holding my breath

Won't lose you again

Something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Something's gone terribly wrong

You're all I wanted

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Can't breathe whenever you're gone

Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

Stood there and watched you walk away

From everything we had

But I still mean every word I said to you

He will try to take away my pain

And he just might make me smile

But the whole time, I'm wishing he was you instead

Oh, holding my breath

Won't see you again

Something keeps me holding onto nothing

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Something's gone terribly wrong

You're all I wanted

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Can't breathe whenever you're gone

Can't turn back now, I'm haunted

I know, I know

I just know

You're not gone

You can't be gone, no

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Something's gone terribly wrong

Won't finish what you started

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this

I thought I had you figured out

Can't breathe whenever you're gone

I can't go back, I'm haunted

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

You and I walk a fragile line

I have known it all this time

Never ever thought I'd see it break

Never thought I'd see it

Last Kiss (Taylor's Version) lyrics - Taylor Swift

I still remember the look on your face

Lit through the darkness at 1:58

The words that you whispered for just us to know

You told me you loved me, so why did you go away?

Away

I do recall now, the smell of the rain

Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane

That July ninth, the beat of your heart

It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go

Sit on the floor wearing your clothes

All that I know is I don't know

How to be something you miss

I never thought we'd have a last kiss

I never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember the swing of your step

The life of the party, you're showing off again

And I'd roll my eyes and then you'd pull me in

I'm not much for dancing, but for you, I did

Because I love your handshake, meeting my father

I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets

How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something

There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go

Sit on the floor wearing your clothes

All that I know is I don't know

How to be something you miss

I never thought we'd have a last kiss

I never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips, mm-hmm

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep

And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe

And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are

Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day

And something reminds you you wish you had stayed

You can plan for a change in the weather and time

But I never planned on you changing your mind

So, I'll go

Sit on the floor wearing your clothes

All that I know is I don't know

How to be something you miss

I never thought we'd have a last kiss

I never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss

Forever the name on my lips

Forever the name on my lips

Just like our last
