Taylor Swift Lyrics

Karma (Remix) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Ice Spice)

Karma is that girl like (Grah)

You're talking shit

For the hell of it

Addicted to betrayal

But you're relevant

You're terrified to look down

'Cause if you dare

You'll see the glare

Of everyone you burned just to get there

It's coming back around

And I keep my side of the street clean

You wouldn't know what I mean

'Cause karma is my boyfriend

Karma is a God

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Karma's a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey

Karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

Karma is ya checks 'boutta bounce (Damn)

Karma is a fire in ya house (Grah)

And she 'boutta pop up unannounced (Like)

And she never leaving you alone (Damn)

Watch her put ya opps on a throne (Damn)

Got you waving pretty white flags

Feenin' for that cash

Thinking it'll save ya

Now you switching up ya behavior

It's okay, baby

You ain't gotta worry, karma never gets lazy

So I keep my head up, my bread up, I won't let up (Never)

Promise that you'll never endeavor with none lesser (Ever, ever)

I be draggin' that wagon

Karma is a beauty winning that pageant (Grah)

'Cause karma is my boyfriend (Damn)

Karma is a God

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Karma's a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey

Karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that (Grah)

Ask me what I learned from all those years

Ask me what I earned from all those tears

Ask me why so many fade but I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still here

'Cause karma is the thunder

Rattling your ground

Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter

And karma's gonna track you down

Step by step from town to town

Sweet like justice

Karma is a queen

Karma takes all my friends to the summit (Facts)

Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me

'Cause karma is my boyfriend

Karma is a God

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Karma's a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey

Karma is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and karma vibe like that

Karma is my boyfriend

Karma is a God

Karma is my bestie

Karma's a relaxing thought...

Karma's gonna hold you down

You're Losing Me (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

You say, "I don't understand" and I say, "I know you don't"

We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't

Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light

Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?

I'm getting tired even for a phoenix

Always risin' from the ashes

Mendin' all her gashes

You might just have dealt the final blow

Stop, you're losing me

Stop, you're losing me

Stop, you're losing me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore... for you

'Cause you're losing me

Every mornin' I glared at you with storms in my eyes

How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?

I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick

My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick

And the air is thick with loss and indecision

I know my pain is such an imposition

Now, you're running down the hallway

And you know what they all say

"You don't know what you got until it's gone"

Stop, you're losing me

Stop, you're losing me

Stop, you're losing me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore... for you

'Cause you're losing me

'Cause you're losing me

Stop (Stay) 'cause you're losing me

My heart won't start anymore (Stop 'cause you're losing me)

My heart won't start anymore (Stop 'cause you're losing me)

How long could we be a sad song

'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?

I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy

And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

Fighting in only your army, frontlines, don't you ignore me

I'm the best thing at this party (You're losing me)

And I wouldn't marry me either

A pathological people pleaser

Who only wanted you to see her

And I'm fading, thinkin'

"Do something, babe, say something" (Say something)

"Lose something, babe, risk something" (You're losing me)

"Choose something, babe, I got nothing" (I got nothing)

"To believe, unless you're choosing me"

You're losing me

Stop (Stop, stop), you're losing me

Stop (Stop, stop), you're losing me

I can't find a pulse, my heart won't start anymore

Red (Taylor's Version) (2021)

State Of Grace (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

Busy streets and busy lives

And all we know is touch and go

We are alone with our changing minds

We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannonball

Now all we know is don't let go

We are alone, just you and me

Up in your room, and our slates are clean

Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

So you were never a saint

And I loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

These are the hands of fate

You're my Achilles heel

This is the golden age of something good and right and real

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same, oh

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

(So you were never a saint, and I loved in shades of wrong)

(We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts)

(But this love is brave and wild)

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

Red (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall

Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

But loving him was red

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

Touching him was like

Realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

Memorizing him was as

Easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Fighting with him was like

Trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer

Regretting him was like

Wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone (Woah)

Forgetting him was like

Trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

Oh, red (Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

Burning red (Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

(Red, red, red)

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go

But moving on from him is impossible

When I still see it all in my head

In burning red

Burning, it was red

Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone (Woah)

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

'Cause loving him was red

(Red, red, red; red, red, red)

Yeah, yeah, red

(Red, red, red; red, red, red)

Burning red (Red, red, red; red, red, red)

(Red, red, red; red, red, red)

And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head (Red, red, red; red, red, red)

Comes back to me (Red, red, red; red, red, red), burning red

(Red, red, red; red, red, red) Yeah, yeah

(Red, red, red; red, red, red)

His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Treacherous (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Put your lips close to mine

As long as they don't touch

Out of focus, eye to eye

Till the gravity's too much

And I'll do anything you say

If you say it with your hands

And I'd be smart to walk away

But you're quicksand

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

And I, I, I like it

I can't decide if it's a choice

Getting swept away

I hear the sound of my own voice

Asking you to stay

All we are is skin and bone

Trained to get along

Forever going with the flow

But you're friction

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

I, I, I like it

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will

Get you a, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind and I just

Think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would

Follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

This hope is treacherous

This daydream is dangerous

This hope is treacherous

I, I, I

I, I, I

I, I, I

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will

Get you a, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind and I just

Think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will

Follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

This slope is treacherous

I, I, I like it

I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

I was in your sights, you got me alone

You found me, you found me, you found me

I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that

And when I fell hard, you took a step back

Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me

And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies, he'll never see you cry

Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why

You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning

And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street

A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be

And now I see, now I see, now I see

He was long gone when he met me

And I realize the joke is on me, hey

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Oh)

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been (Yeah)

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh (Yeah)

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear

Comes creeping in

That you never loved me

Or her, or anyone, or anything

Yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been (Never been)

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Knew it right there)

So shame on me now (Knew it right there)

Flew me to places I'd never been (Ooh)

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Oh)

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Trouble, trouble, trouble

All Too Well (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I walked through the door with you

The air was cold

But something 'bout it felt like home somehow and I

Left my scarf there at your sister's house

And you've still got it in your drawer even now

Oh, your sweet disposition

And my wide-eyed gaze

We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I can picture it after all these days

And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more

And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all, oh-oh-oh

'Cause there we are again on that

Little town street

You almost ran the red 'cause you were

Looking over at me

Wind in my hair, I was there

I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter

Your cheeks were turning red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed

And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee ball team

You taught me about your past, thinking your future was me

And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do

And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night

We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs, I was there

I remember it all too well, yeah

And maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

Till you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again

Just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week

'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me

You can't get rid of it

'Cause you remember it all too well

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all

Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all

It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

22 (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

It feels like a perfect night

To dress up like hipsters

And make fun of our exes

Ah, ah, ah, ah

It feels like a perfect night

For breakfast at midnight

To fall in love with strangers

Ah ah, ah, ah

Yeah, we're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time

It's miserable and magical, oh yeah

Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time

Ah, ah

I don't know about you

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright if

You keep me next to you

You don't know about me

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright if

We just keep dancing like we're

22

22

It seems like one of those nights

This place is too crowded

Too many cool kids ("Who is Taylor Swift anyway?")

Ah ah, ah ah

It seems like one of those nights

We ditch the whole scene

And end up dreaming instead of sleeping, yeah

We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way

It's miserable and magical, oh yeah

Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks, it's time

Ah, ah

I don't know about you

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright if

You keep me next to you

You don't know about me

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright if (Alright)

We just keep dancing like we're

22

22 (I don't know about you)

22

22

It feels like one of those nights

We ditch the whole scene

It feels like one of those nights

We won't be sleeping

It feels like one of those nights

You look like bad news

I gotta have you

I gotta have you

I don't know about you (I don't know about you)

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright if

You keep me next to you

You don't know about me (You don't know about me)

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright if

We just keep dancing like we're 22

22

22 (Dancing like)

22

22

It feels like one of those nights

We ditch the whole scene

It feels like one of those nights

We won't be sleeping

It feels like one of those nights

You look like bad news

I gotta have you

I gotta have you

I Almost Do (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I bet this time of night you're still up

I bet you're tired from a long hard week

I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city and I bet

Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't

I almost do

I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you

'Cause each time you reach out, there's no reply

I bet it never, ever occurred to you

That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't

I almost do, I almost do

Oh, we made quite a mess, babe

It's probably better off this way

And I confess, baby

In my dreams you're touching my face

And asking me if I'd want to try again with you

And I almost do

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't

I almost do, I almost do

I bet this time of night you're still up

I bet you're tired from a long hard week

I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city and I hope

Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I remember when we broke up the first time

Saying, "This is it, I've had enough", 'cause like

We hadn't seen each other in a month

When you said you needed space, what?

Then you come around again and say

"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me"

Remember how that lasted for a day?

I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you"

Ooh, we called it off again last night but

Ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever ever getting back together

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Like, ever

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights

And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right

And you would hide away and find your peace of mind

With some indie record that's much cooler than mine

Ooh, you called me up again tonight but

Ooh, this time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever ever getting back together

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

I used to think that we were forever ever

And I used to say never say never

So he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you"

And I'm like, I'm just, I mean this is exhausting you know?

Like we are never getting back together

Like, ever

(No)

We are never ever ever getting back together

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

(We)

No

(Getting back together)

(We)

(Getting back together)

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

(Talk to me)

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Stay Stay Stay (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night

I threw my phone across the room at you

I was expecting some dramatic turn away but you stayed

This morning I said we should talk about it

'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved

That's when you came in wearing a football helmet and said, "Ok, let's talk"

And I said

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

Before you I'd only dated self-indulgent takers

Who took all of their problems out on me

But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing

And I love you because you have given me no choice but to

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

Stay, stay, stay, stay

You took the time to memorize me

My fears, my hopes and dreams

I just like hanging out with you

All the time

All those times that you didn't leave

It's been occurring to me

I'd like to hang out with you

For my whole life

Stay

And I'll be loving you for quite some time

No one else is gonna love me when I get mad, mad, mad

So I think that it's best if we both stay

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

That's so fun

The Last Time (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Gary Lightbody)

I find myself at your door

Just like all those times before

I'm not sure how I got there

All roads they lead me here

I imagine you are home

In your room, all alone

And you open your eyes into mine

And everything feels better

And right before your eyes

I'm breaking, no past

No reasons why

Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this

Put my name at the top of your list

This is the last time I'm asking you why

You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye

You find yourself at my door

And just like all those times before

You wear your best apology

But I was there to watch you leave

And all the times I let you in

Just for you to go again

Disappear when you come back

Everything is better

And right before your eyes

I'm aching

No past, nowhere to hide

Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this

Put my name at the top of your list

This is the last time I'm asking you why

You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye

This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong

This is the last time I say it's been you all along

This is the last time I let you in my door

This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore

Oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho

Oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho, oh-ho

This is the last time I'm asking you this

Put my name at the top of your list

This is the last time I'm asking you why

You break my heart in the blink of an eye

This is the last time I'm asking you this

(This is the last time I'm asking you this)

Put my name at the top of your list

(Put my name at the top of your list)

This is the last time I'm asking you why

(This is the last time I'm asking you why)

You break my heart in the blink of an eye

(You break my heart)

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

This is the last time I'm asking you, last time I'm asking you

Last time I'm asking you this

Holy Ground (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I was reminiscing just the other day

While having coffee all alone

And Lord it took me away

Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time

Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme

Took off faster than a green light, go

Yeah you skip the conversation when you already know

I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made

And that was the first day

And darling it was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress

We had this big wide city all to ourselves

We block the noise with the sound of, "I need you"

And for the first time I had something to lose

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way

And the story's got dust on every page

But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now

And I see your face in every crowd

'Cause darling, it was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

For all that we've been through

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

Like you were in this room

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

It was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

For all that we've been through

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

Like you were in this room

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

Sad Beautiful Tragic (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket

Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late

I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket

Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

We had a beautiful magic love there

What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation

And we both wake in lonely beds, different cities

And time is taking its sweet time erasing you

And you've got your demons

And darling, they all look like me

'Cause we had a beautiful magic love there

What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair (Whoa, oh, whoa, oh)

Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting

Silence, the train runs off its tracks

Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen?

Hang up, give up, and for the life of us we can't get back

A beautiful magic love there

What a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful

What we had, a beautiful magic love there

What a sad, beautiful, tragic, love affair

We had a beautiful magic love there

What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

The Lucky One (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

New to town with a made up name

In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame

And the camera flashes make it look like a dream

You had it figured out since you were in school

Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool

So overnight, you look like a sixties queen

Another name goes up in lights

Like diamonds in the sky

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one?

Oh, oh, oh

Now, it's big black cars and Riviera views

And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you

And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused

'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used

And all the young things line up to take your place

Another name goes up in lights

You wonder if you'll make it out alive

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one?

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

It was a few years later, I showed up here

And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared

How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

Chose the rose garden over Madison Square

And it took some time, but I understand it now

'Cause now my name is up in lights

But I think you got it right

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

Everything Has Changed (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Ed Sheeran)

(You good to go?)

All I knew this morning when I woke

Is I know something now

Know something now I didn't before

And all I've seen since 18 hours ago

Is green eyes and freckles and your smile

In the back of my mind, making me feel like

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name

Everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

And all my walls stood tall, painted blue

But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down

And open up the door for you

And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies

The beautiful kind, making up for lost time

Taking flight, making me feel right

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name

Everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why

I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time

And meet me there tonight

And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you, know you, know you

All I know is we said, "Hello"

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name

Everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

And you'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

All I know is we said, "Hello"

So dust off your highest hopes

All I know is pouring rain

And everything has changed

All I know is a new found grace

All my days, I'll know your face

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

Starlight (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"

It was the best night

Never would forget how he moved

The whole place was dressed to the nines

And we were dancing, dancing

Like we're made of starlight

Like we're made of starlight

I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45

Picks me up late one night

Out the window, we were seventeen and crazy, running wild, wild

Can't remember what song it was playing when we walked in

The night we snuck into a yacht club party

Pretending to be a duchess and a prince

And I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"

It was the best night, never would forget how he moved

The whole place was dressed to the nines

And we were dancing, dancing

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

He said, "Look at you, worrying too much about things you can't change

You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way"

He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean, saying to me

"Don't you see the starlight, starlight?

Don't you dream impossible things?"

Like, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"

It was the best night, never would forget how he moved

The whole place was dressed to the nines

And we were dancing, dancing

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Ooh-ooh, he's talking crazy

Ooh-ooh, dancing with me

Ooh-ooh, we could get married

Have ten kids and teach 'em how to dream

(Ooh, hoo, hoo)

(Ooh, hoo, hoo)

(Ooh, hoo, hoo)

(Ooh, hoo, hoo)

Oh my, what a marvelous tune

It was the best night, never would forget how he moved

The whole place was dressed to the nines

And we were dancing, dancing

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Like we're made of starlight, starlight

Like we dream impossible dreams

Like starlight, starlight (Ooh, hoo, hoo)

Like we dream impossible dreams (Ooh, hoo, hoo)

Don't you see the starlight, starlight? (Ooh, hoo, hoo)

Don't you dream impossible things?

Begin Again (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Took a deep breath in the mirror

He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do

Turn the lock and put my headphones on

He always said he didn't get this song, but I do, I do

I walked in expecting you'd be late

But you got here early and you stand and wave

I walk to you

You pull my chair out and help me in

And you don't know how nice that is, but I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who

Had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do

We tell stories and you don't know why

I'm coming off a little shy, but I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block to my car

And I almost brought him up

But you start to talk about the movies

That your family watches every single Christmas

And I wanna talk about that

And for the first time, what's past is past

'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

The Moment I Knew (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

You should've been there

Should've burst through the door

With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile

And it would've felt like

A million little shining stars had just aligned

And I would've been so happy

Christmas lights glisten

I've got my eye on the door

Just waiting for you to walk in

But the time is ticking

People ask me how I've been

As I comb back through my memory

How you said you'd be here

You said you'd be here

And it was like slow motion

Standing there in my party dress

In red lipstick

With no one to impress

And they're all laughing

As I'm looking around the room

But there was one thing missing

And that was the moment I knew

And the hours pass by

Now I just wanna be alone

But your close friends always seem to know

When there's something really wrong

So they follow me down the hall

And there in the bathroom

I try not to fall apart

And the sinking feeling starts

As I say hopelessly

"He said he'd be here"

And it was like slow motion

Standing there in my party dress

In red lipstick

With no one to impress

And they're all laughing

And asking me about you

But there was one thing missing (Missing)

And that was the moment I knew

What do you say

When tears are streaming down your face

In front of everyone you know?

And what do you do

When the one who means the most to you

Is the one who didn't show?

You should've been here

And I would've been so happy

And it was like slow motion

Standing there in my party dress

In red lipstick

With no one to impress

And they're all standing around me, singing

"Happy birthday to you"

But there was one thing missing

And that was the moment I knew

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I knew

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You called me later

And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it"

And I said, "I'm sorry, too"

And that was the moment I knew

Come Back...Be Here (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

You said it in a simple way

4 AM, the second day

How strange that I don't know you at all

Stumbled through the long goodbye

One last kiss, then catch your flight

Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself, don't get attached

But in my mind, I play it back

Spinning faster than the plane that took you

And this is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back, be here, come back, be here

I guess you're in New York today

I don't wanna need you this way

Come back, be here, come back, be here

The delicate beginning rush

The feeling you can know so much

Without knowing anything at all

And now that I can put this down

If I had known what I know now

I never would've played so nonchalant

Taxi cabs and busy streets

That never bring you back to me

I can't help but wish you took me with you

And this is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back, be here, come back, be here

I guess you're in London today

And I don't wanna need you this way

Come back, be here, come back, be here

This is falling in love in the cruellest way

This is falling for you when you are worlds away

In New York, be here

But you're in London, and I break down

'Cause it's not fair that you're not around

This is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back, be here, come back, be here

I guess you're in New York today

And I don't wanna need you this way

Come back, be here, come back, be here

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I don't wanna miss you like this

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Come back, be here

Come back, be here

Girl At Home (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that

I don't even know her

But I feel a responsibility

To do what's upstanding and right

It's kinda like a code, yeah

And you've been getting closer and closer

And crossing so many lines

And it would be a fine proposition

If I was a stupid girl

But, honey, I am no one's exception

This, I have previously learned

So don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

I see you turn off your phone

And now you've got me alone, and I say

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

I just wanna make sure

You understand perfectly

You're the kind of man who makes me sad

While she waits up

You chase down the newest thing

And take for granted what you have

And it would be a fine proposition

If I was a stupid girl

And, yeah, I might go with it

If I hadn't once been just like her

So don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

I see you turn off your phone

And now you've got me alone, and I say

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Call a cab, lose my number

You're about to lose your girl

Call a cab, lose my number

Let's consider this lesson learned

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

Wanna see you pick up your phone

And tell her you're coming home

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

It would be a fine proposition

If I hadn't once been just like her

State Of Grace (Acoustic Version) (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

Busy streets and busy lives

And all we know is touch and go

We are alone with our changing minds

We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds

Or fades in time

And I never

Saw you comin'

And I'll never

Be the same

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannonball

Now all we know is don't let go

We are alone, just you and me

Up in your room and our slates are clean

Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

So you were never a saint

And I've loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild

I never

Saw you comin'

And I'll never

Be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

These are the hands of fate

You're my Achilles heel

This is the golden age of something good and right and real

And I never

Saw you comin'

And I'll never

Be the same, oh

Oh, I never

Saw you comin'

And I'll never

Be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

Ronan (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I remember your bare feet, down the hallway

I remember your little laugh

Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs

I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine

Like we had our own secret club

I remember you dancing before bed time

Then jumping on me, waking me up

I can still feel you hold my hand, little man

And even the moment I knew

You fought it hard like an army guy

Remember I leaned in and whispered to you

"Come on, baby, with me

We're going to fly away from here

You were my best four years"

I remember the drive home

When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming "Why?"

Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say

About a beautiful boy who died

And it's about to be Halloween

You could be anything you wanted if you were still here

I remember the last day, when I kissed your face

And whispered in your ear

"Come on, baby, with me

We're going to fly away from here

Out of this curtained room and this hospital gray, we'll just disappear

Come on, baby, with me

We're going to fly away from here

You were my best four years"

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?

And what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into?

And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?

What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?

Come on, baby, with me

We're going to fly away from here

Come on, baby, with me

We're going to fly away from here

You were my best four years

I remember your bare feet, down the hallway

I love you to the moon and back

Better Man (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

(originally by Little Big Town)

I know I'm probably better off on my own

Than lovin' a man who didn't know what he had when he had it

And I see the permanent damage you did to me

Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic

I wish it wasn't 4AM, standing in the mirror

Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it"

I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

I know I'm probably better off all alone

Than needing a man who could change his mind

At any given minute

And it was always on your terms

I waited on every careless word

Hoping they might turn sweet again

Like it was in the beginning

But your jealousy, oh, I can hear it now

Talking down to me like I'd always be around

Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun

Oh, you never thought I'd run

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

And I know why we had to say goodbye, like the back of my hand

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have

And I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that

I wish you were a better man

I wonder what we would've become

If you were a better man

We might still be in love

If you were a better man

You would've been the one

If you were a better man

Yeah, yeah

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

And I know why we had to say goodbye, like the back of my hand

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)

We might still be in love, if you were a better man

(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)

Yeah, yeah

I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand

But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

We might still be in love

If you were a better man

You would've been the one

If you were a better man

Nothing New (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)

They tell you while you're young

"Girls, go out and have your fun"

Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it

Criticize the way you fly

When you're soaring through the sky

Shoot you down and then they sigh

And say, "She looks like she's been through it"

Lord, what will become of me

Once I've lost my novelty?

I've had too much to drink tonight

And I know it's sad but this is what I think about

And I wake up in the middle of the night

It's like I can feel time moving

How can a person know everything at eighteen

But nothing at twenty-two?

And will you still want me when I'm nothing new?

How long will it be cute, all this crying in my room?

When you can't blame it on my youth

And roll your eyes with affection

And my cheeks are growing tired

From turning red and faking smiles

Are we only biding time 'til I lose your attention

And someone else lights up the room?

People love an ingénue

I've had too much to drink tonight

How did I go from growing up to breaking down?

And I wake up in the middle of the night

It's like I can feel time moving

How can a person know everything at eighteen

But nothing at twenty-two?

And will you still want me when I'm nothing new?

I know someday I'm gonna meet her

It's a fever dream

The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen

She'll know the way and then she'll say she got the map from me

I'll say I'm happy for her then I'll cry myself to sleep

Oh woah, oh woah, oh, oh

I've had (I've had) too much to drink tonight

But I wonder if they'll miss me once they drive me out

I wake up (Wake up) in the middle of the night

And I can feel time moving

How can a person know everything at eighteen

But nothing at twenty-two?

And will you still want me, will you still want me

Will you still want me when I'm nothing new?

Babe (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

(originally by Sugarland)

What about your promises, promises?

What about your promises, promises, promises? (No)

What a shame

Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise

That you never should have made

I'm here on the kitchen floor

You call, but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

(What about your promises, promises, promises?)

What a waste

Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah

And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent

Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

We said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you

Since you admitted it, I keep picturing

Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it

I hate that because of you, I can't love you, babe

What a shame didn't want to be the one that got away

How could you do this, babe?

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

We ain't getting through this one, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

You said, "No one else"

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

What about your promises, promises?

Message In A Bottle (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

I know that you like me

And it's kinda frightening

Standing here waiting, waiting

And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes

Tongue tied

But, now, you're so far away and I'm down

Feeling like a face in the crowd

I'm reaching for you, terrified

'Cause you could be the one that I love

I could be the one that you dream of

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I keep

And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

These days I'm restless

Workdays are endless

Look how you made me, made me

But time moves faster

Replaying your laughter

Disaster

'Cause, now, you're so far away and I'm down

Feeling like a face in the crowd

I'm reaching for you, terrified

'Cause you could be the one that I love

And I could be the one that you dream of

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I keep

And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

How is it in London? (London)

Where were you while I'm wondering (Wondering)

If I'll ever see you again?

You could be the one that I love

And, now, I'm standing here hoping it gets to you

'Cause you could be the one that I love

I could be the one that you dream of

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I keep

And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I love

You could be the one that I love

My love

And, now, I'm standing here hoping this gets to you

I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Chris Stapleton)

3 AM and I'm still awake, I'll bet you're just fine

Fast asleep in your city that's better than mine

And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree

And I'll bet your friends tell you she's better than me, huh

Well, I tried to fit in with your upper-crust circles

Yeah, they let me sit in back when we were in love

Oh, they sit around talkin' about the meaning of life

And the book that just saved 'em that I hadn't heard of

But now that we're done and it's over

I bet you couldn't believe

When you realized I'm harder to forget than I was to leave

And I bet you think about me

You grew up in a silver-spoon gated community

Glamorous, shiny, bright Beverly Hills

I was raised on a farm, no, it wasn't a mansion

Just livin' room dancin' and kitchen table bills

But you know what they say, you can't help who you fall for

And you and I fell like an early spring snow

But reality crept in, you said we're too different

You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes

Mr. Superior Thinkin'

Do you have all the space that you need?

I don't have to be your shrink to know that you'll never be happy

And I bet you think about me

I bet you think about me, yes

I bet you think about me

Oh, block it all out

The voices so loud, sayin'

"Why did you let her go?"

Does it make you feel sad

That the love that you're lookin' for

Is the love that you had?

Now you're out in the world, searchin' for your soul

Scared not to be hip, scared to get old

Chasing make-believe status, last time you felt free

Was when none of that shit mattered 'cause you were with me

But now that we're done and it's over

I bet it's hard to believe

That it turned out I'm harder to forget than I was to leave

And, yeah, I bet you think about me

I bet you think about me, yes

I bet you think about me

I bet you think about me when you're out

At your cool indie music concerts every week

I bet you think about me in your house

With your organic shoes and your million-dollar couch

I bet you think about me when you say

"Oh my god, she's insane, she wrote a song about me"

I bet you think about me

Forever Winter (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days

He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?"

He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be

He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity

I call, just checking up on him

He's up, 3 A.M., pacing

He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in"

My voice comes out begging

All this time I didn't know

You were breaking down

I'd fall to pieces on the floor

If you weren't around

Too young to know it gets better

I'll be summer sun for you forever

Forever winter if you go

He seems fine most of the time

Forcing smiles and never minds

His laugh is a symphony

When the lights go out, it's hard to breathe

I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head

Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead

I call, just checking up on him

He's up, 5 A.M., wasted

Long gone, not even listening

My voice comes out screaming

All this time I didn't know

You were breaking down

I'd fall to pieces on the floor

If you weren't around

Too young to know it gets better

I'll be summer sun for you forever

Forever winter if you go

If I was standing there in your apartment

I'd take that bomb in your head and disarm it

I'd say I love you even at your darkest and

Please don't go

I didn't know

You were breaking down

I'd fall to pieces on the floor

If you weren’t around

Too young to know it gets better

I'll be summer sun for you forever

Forever winter if you go

I'll be your summer sun forever

At 3 A.M., pacing

All this time I didn't know

At 5 A.M., wasted

I'd be in pieces on the floor

Forever winter if you go

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days

I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"

Run (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Ed Sheeran)

One, two, three, four

Give me the keys, I'll bring the car back around

We shouldn't be in this town

And my so-called friends, they don't know

I'd drive away before I let you go

So give me a reason and don't say no, no

There's a chain 'round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote

"I'll wait for you"

There's a key on the chain, there's a picture in a frame

Take it with you

And run, like you'd run from the law

Darling, let's run

Run from it all

We can go where our eyes can take us

Go where no one else is, run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

So you laugh like a child

And I'll sing like no one cares

No one to be, no one to tell

I could see this view a hundred times

Pale blue sky reflected in your eyes

So give me a reason and don't say no, no

And the note from the locket, you keep it in your pocket

Since I gave it to you

There's a heart on your sleeve

I'll take it when I leave

And hold it for you

And run, like you'd run from the law

Darling, let's run

Run from it all

We can go like they're trying to chase us

Go where no one else is, run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

There's been this hole in my heart

This thing was a shot in the dark

Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart

And I'll hold onto you while we run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Like you'd run from the law (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Darling, let's run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Run from it all (And we run, and we run, and we run)

We can go where our eyes can take us (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Go where no one else is, run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, and we'll run

The Very First Night (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor swift

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

And so it goes

Every weekend, this same party

I never go alone and I don't seem brokenhearted

My friends all say they know everything I'm going through

I drive down different roads

But they all lead back to you

'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel

They weren't riding in the car when we both fell

Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture

They don't know how much I miss you

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

And so it was

We never saw it coming

Not trying to fall in love

But we did like children running

Back then we didn't know we were built to fall apart

We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts

But don't forget about the night out in LA

Danced in the kitchen, chased me down through the hallway

No one knows about the words that we whispered

No one knows how much I miss you

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

I remember the night at the hotel

I was riding in the car when we both fell

I'm the one on the phone as you whisper

"Do you know how much I miss you?"

I wish that we could go back in time

And I'd say to you

"I miss you like it was the very first night"

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) lyrics - taylor

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold

But something 'bout it felt like home somehow

And I left my scarf there at your sister's house

And you've still got it in your drawer, even now

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze

We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I can picture it after all these days

And I know it's long gone and

That magic's not here no more

And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause there we are again on that little town street

You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me

Wind in my hair, I was there

I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed

And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team

You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me

And you were tossing me the car keys, "fuck the patriarchy"

Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town

And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now

He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was

'Til we were dead and gone and buried

Check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same

After three months in the grave

And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you

But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame

And I know it's long gone and

There was nothing else I could do

And I forget about you long enough

To forget why I needed to

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night

We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs, I was there

I remember it all too well

And there we are again when nobody had to know

You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath

Sacred prayer and we'd swear

To remember it all too well, yeah

Well, maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

'Til you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all

They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell

Every time you double-cross my mind

You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine

And that made me want to die

The idea you had of me, who was she?

A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you

Not weeping in a party bathroom

Some actress asking me what happened, you

That's what happened, you

You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes

Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show

But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come

And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week

'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me

You can't get rid of it

'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

It was rare, I was there

I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there

You remember it all

Down the stairs, you were there

You remember it all

It was rare, I was there

I remember it all too well

And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes

"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones

I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too?

'Cause in this city's barren cold

I still remember the first fall of snow

And how it glistened as it fell

I remember it all too well

Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?

Just between us, do you remember it all too well?

Just between us, I remember it (Just between us), all too well

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there

Down the stairs, I was there, I was there

Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there

It was rare, you remember it

A Message From Taylor lyrics - taylor swift

Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heart-broken person

It was all over the place

A fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end

Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild

And tortured by memories past

These are the original thirty songs that were meant for Red

I love you guys

Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021)

Fearless (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

There's something 'bout the way

The street looks when it's just rained

There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car

And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there

In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

Oh, yeah

We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know

I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now

But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair

Absent-mindedly making me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

So, baby, drive slow 'til we run out of road in this one-horse town

I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now, capture it, remember it

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway

My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but

You pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something

It's fearless

Oh, yeah

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

Oh-oh, yeah

Fifteen (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors

It's the mornin' of your very first day

You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while

Try and stay out of everybody's way

It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here

For the next four years in this town

Hopin' one of those senior boys will wink at you and say

"You know, I haven't seen you around before"

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen, feelin' like there's nothin' to figure out

Well, count to ten, take it in

This is life before you know who you're gonna be

Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail

And soon enough, you're best friends

Laughin' at the other girls who think they're so cool

We'll be outta here as soon as we can

And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car

And you're feelin' like flyin'

And your mama's waitin' up and you're thinkin' he's the one

And you're dancin' 'round your room when the night ends

When the night ends

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen and your first kiss

Makes your head spin 'round

But in your life you'll do things greater than

Dating the boy on the football team

But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted

Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now

Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday

But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had

To a boy who changed his mind

And we both cried

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall

I've found time can heal most anything

And you just might find who you're supposed to be

I didn't know who I was supposed to be

At fifteen

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la

Your very first day

Take a deep breath, girl

Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

Love Story (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me

I was begging you, "Please don't go," and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

Oh, oh

And I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said, "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Hey Stephen (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

Mmm-mm, mm-mm, yeah

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving

But I know I saw a light in you

And as we walked we were talking

I didn't say half the things I wanted to

Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window

I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold

Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing

I don't always have to be alone

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling

So I got some things to say to you

I've seen it all, so I thought

But I never seen nobody shine the way you do

The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name

It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change

Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?

I think you and I should stay the same

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me

Why aren't you here tonight?

I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out

And pull me near and shine, shine, shine

Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons

Why I should be the one you choose

All those other girls, well, they're beautiful

But would they write a song for you? (Ha-ha-ha)

I can't help it if you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

If you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

Ah-uh, myself

Mmm-mm, I can't help myself

I can't help myself

Oh-oh-oh

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

White Horse (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel

Comes out just when you need it to

As I paced back and forth all this time

'Cause I honestly believed in you

Holdin' on, the days drag on

Stupid girl, I shoulda known, I shoulda known

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

Maybe I was naïve, got lost in your eyes

And never really had a chance

My mistake, I didn't know to be in love

You had to fight to have the upper hand

I had so many dreams about you and me

Happy endings, now I know

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

And there you are on your knees

Beggin' for forgiveness, beggin' for me

Just like I always wanted

But I'm so sorry

'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale

I'm gonna find someone someday

Who might actually treat me well

This is a big world, that was a small town

There in my rear view mirror disappearing now

And it's too late for you and your white horse

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Try and catch me now, oh

It's too late to catch me now

You Belong With Me (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

She's going off about something that you said

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do

'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts

She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down

You say you're fine, I know you better than that

Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know, baby?

You belong with me, you belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house

In the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're 'bout to cry

I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong

Think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know, baby?

You belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me?

You belong with me

Breathe (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift (feat. Colbie Caillat)

[Taylor Swift:]

I see your face in my mind as I drive away

'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way

People are people and sometimes we change our minds

But it's killing me to see you go after all this time

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm

[Taylor Swift with Colbie Caillat:]

The music starts playing like the end of a sad movie

It's the kind of ending you don't really wanna see

'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down

Now I don't know what to be without you around

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

And I can't breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you, but I have to

Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt

Every little bump in the road, I tried to swerve

But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out

And nothin' we say is gonna save us from the fallout

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

And I can't breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you but I have to

It's 2 A.M., feeling like I just lost a friend

Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me

It's 2 A.M., feeling like I just lost a friend

Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me, oh

I can't breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you, but I have to

I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Mmm)

I'm sorry, (Yeah, yeah) I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Ooh, ooh)

I'm sorry

Tell Me Why (Taylor's Version) lyrics - taylor swift

I took a chance, I took a shot

And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not

You took a swing, I took it hard

And down here from the ground, I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

I'm feeling like I don't know you

You tell me that you love me, then cut me down

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

Makes me run for cover when you're around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me

Tell me why

Well, you could write a book on

How to ruin someone's perfect day

Well, I get so confused and frustrated

Forget what I'm tryin' to say, oh

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I got no one to believe in

You tell me that you want me, then push me around

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

Makes me run for cover when you're around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me

Tell me why

Why do you have to make me feel small

So you can feel whole inside?

Why do you have to put down my dreams

So you're the only thing on my mind?

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

Feeling like I don't know you

You tell me that you want me, then cut me down

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I've got no one to believe in

You ask me for my love, then you push me around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me

Tell me why (Why)

Tell me why (Oh)

I take a step back, I let you go

I told you I'm not bulletproof

Now you know
