Come Back...Be Here Lyrics

Come Back...Be Here Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Dan Wilson

You said it in a simple way
4am, 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

This is when the feeling sinks in
I don't want to miss you like this
Come back...be here
Come back...be here
I guess you're in New York today
And I don't want to 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
Now that I can't 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.

This is when the feeling sinks in
I don't want to miss you like this
Come back...be here
Come back...be here
I guess you're in London today
And I don't want to need you this way.
Come back... be here
Come back...be here

This is falling in love in the cruelest 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 want to miss you like this
Come back...be here
Come back...be here
I guess you're in New York today
And I don't want to need you this way.
Come back... be here
Come back...be here

Girl At Home

Girl At Home Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by Taylor Swift

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, 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
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
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 want to 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.

CHORUS

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
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

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.

The Moment I Knew Lyrics

The Moment I Knew Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by 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 want to 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
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

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.

Red Lyrics

Red Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by 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've never met
but loving him was red
loving him was 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
forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
but loving him was red, oh red, burning 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

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've never met
cause loving him was red, yeah yeah red, burning red

and that�s why he�s spinning around in my head
comes back to me in burning red
loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street

Starlight Lyrics

Starlight Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by 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

i met bobby on the boardwalk
summer of '45
picked 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 them how to dream

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
like we dream impossible dreams
don�t you see the starlight, starlight?
don't you dream impossible things?

The Lucky One Lyrics

The Lucky One Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by 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 60s queen
another name goes up in lights
like Diamonds in the sky...

CHORUS
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

REPEAT CHORUS

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...

Begin Again Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by 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 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

CHORUS
and you throw your head back Laughing
like a little kid
i think it's Strange that you thiNk i�m funny cause

i've been spending the last 8 months

but on a Wednesday in a cafe
i watched it begin again

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

REPEAT CHORUS

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 want to talk about that
and for the first time
what's past is past

REPEAT CHORUS

but on a wednesday in a cafe
i watched it begin again

Written by 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

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 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 want to dance
if i�m not dancing with you
tonight i�m gonna dance
like you were in this room
but i don't want to 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 want to dance
if i�m not dancing with you
tonight i�m gonna dance
like you were in this room
but i don't want to dance
if i�m not dancing with you

no past, nowhere to hide
just you and me...

State of Grace Lyrics

State of Grace Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by 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�ve 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
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

All Too Well Lyrics

All Too Well Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Liz Rose

i walked through the door with you
the air was cold
but soMething About 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...

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
about 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

well 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

Treacherous Lyrics (Red Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Dan Wilson

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 quick Sand

CHORUS
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
and alL we are Is skin and bone
Trained to get along
forever going with the flow
but you're friction

REPEAT CHORUS

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, i�ll 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
i'll follow you, follow you home
i'll follow you, follow you home

this slope is treacherous
i, i, i like it

Sparks Fly Lyrics

Sparks Fly Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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 thinking 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 something,
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 keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
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,
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

The sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
The sparks fly...

Mean Lyrics

Mean Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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 living 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'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I'll 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 living 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 grumbling 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 living 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, living 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?

Enchanted Lyrics

Enchanted Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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 sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up
2 AM, 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 sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you know
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line 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
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you know
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering 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

Haunted Lyrics

Haunted Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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, I'm 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 would 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, I'm holding my breath
Won't see you again
something keeps me holding on to 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
Can't go back, I'm haunted

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...

Speak Now Lyrics

Speak Now Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by Taylor Swift

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging 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
Wearing 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

[Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus]
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,
I�ll meet you when you�re out of the church at the back door.
Don�t wait or say a single vow,
Your time is running out,
And they said, "Speak now".

Oh, la, la
Oh, oh
Say a single vow

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 looking at you.

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

[Chorus]
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,
And they said, "Speak now".
And you�ll say "Let�s 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,
So glad you were around
When they said, "Speak now".

Mine Lyrics

Mine Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by Taylor Swift

You were in college working part time waiting tables

Left a small town, never looked back

I was a flight risk with a fear of falling

Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say can you believe it?

As we're lying on the couch

The moment I could see it

Yes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember we were sitting 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 taking 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 sitting 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

And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.

As everything was slipping right out of our hands

I ran out crying 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 we 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, make it last

Hold on, never turn back

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

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you believe it?

We're gonna make it now

I can see it

I can see it now

The Story Of Us Lyrics

The Story Of Us Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by Taylor Swift

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

How we met and the sparks flew instantly,

People would say, "They're the lucky ones."

I used to know my place was a spot next to you,

Now I'm searching 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 fall-out.

So many things that I wish you knew,

So many walls that I can't break through.

[Chorus:]

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing 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 trying to look busy,

And you're doing your best to avoid me.

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

How I was losing 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 nothing?

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

I've never heard silence quite this loud.

[Chorus:]

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing 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 wished I knew,

But the story of us might be ending soon.

[Chorus:]

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing 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, now, now.

And we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?

I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate 'cause we're going down,

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

The end.

Dear John Lyrics

Dear John Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by Taylor Swift

Long were the nights when

My days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps

Praying the floor won�t fall through, again

My mother accused me of losing my mind?

But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky

And go back and turn it to rain

And I lived in your chess game

But you changed the rules everyday

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 should've 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 in 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 should've known.

You are an expert at sorry

And keeping the 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

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 should�ve known.

You should�ve known

Don�t you think I was too young

You should�ve known.

Never Grow Up Lyrics

Never Grow Up Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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 favorite night light

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 14 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 getting older too

And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's 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 that I thought it would be

So I tuck myself in and turn my night light 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 darling, don't you ever grow up

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

Won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

And even though you want to, please try to never grow up

Oh, don't you ever grow up

Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

Better Than Revenge Lyrics

Better Than Revenge Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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 where I wanted him

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

She took him faster than you could 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, whoa

She's better known

For the things that she does

On the mattress, whoa

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

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 it gets you where you wanna go

They wouldn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me

But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

She's not a saint

And she's not what you think

She's an actress, whoa

She's better known

For the things that she does

On the mattress, whoa

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

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

Whoa

She's not a saint

And she's not what you think

She's an actress, whoa

She's better known

For the things that she does

On the mattress, whoa

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.

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

I don't think you do

I don't think you do

Let's hear the applause

Come on show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah)

So you deserve some applause 'cause you're so much better

She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"

Innocent Lyrics

Innocent Lyrics (Speak Now Lyrics)

Written by Taylor Swift

I guess you really did it this time

Left yourself in your warpath

Lost your balance on a tightrope

Lost your mind tryin' 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 is 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 would seen what you know now then

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

When everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you

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

Before the monsters caught up to you?

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, life is a tough crowd

32, and still growin' 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

Lives change like the weather

I hope you remember

Today is never too late to be brand new

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, life is a tough crowd

32, and still growin' 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.

It's never too late to get it back.

Long Live Lyrics

Long Live Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by Taylor Swift

I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind

The time we stood with our shaking hands

The crowds and stands went wild

We were the Kings and the Queens

And they read off our names

The night you danced like you knew our lives

Would never be the same

You held your head like a hero

On a history book page

It was the end of a decade

But the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

I said remember this feeling

I passed the pictures around

Of all the years that we stood there

On the side-lines wishing for right now

We are the Kings and the Queen

You trade your baseball cap for a crown

When they gave us our trophies

And we help them up for our town

And the cynics were outraged

Screaming this is absurd

Cause for a moment a band of theives

In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders

I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

I was screaming long live the look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

Hold on to spinning around

Confetti falls to the ground

May these memories break our fall

Will you take a moment, promise me this

That you'll stand by my forever

But if god forbid fate should step in

And force us into a goodbye

If you have children some day

When they point to the pictures

Please tell them my name

Tell them how the crowds went wild

Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life with you

Long, long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders

I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

I was screaming long live the look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

Last Kiss Lyrics

Last Kiss Lyrics (Speak Now Album)

Written by 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 9th

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

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 roll my eyes and then

You 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

Never thought we'd have a last kiss

Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

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 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 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

Never thought we'd have a last kiss

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...
