Im still wearing my blue jeans
No I dont know what you mean
Im still the same girl
Picking daisies in the field
I believe in what I feel
Ive always been the same girl
Some moments change your life
This could be one of them
Im just living life and thinking
Hey this could be fun
Ive always been the same girl
Living in the same world
Singing little songs at the break of dawn girl
Sitting on the front porch
Do do do do do
Watching what you say girl
Never blow away girl
Living in the crazy world
Ive always been the same girl
I still live in one small town
But always love to move around
Ive always been the same girl
Still keep diaries that say
Where I was and did that day
Ive always been the same girl
Some moments change your life
This could be one of them
Im just living life and thinking
Hey this could be fun
Ive always been the same girl
Living in the same world
Singing little songs at the break of dawn girl
Sitting on the front porch
Do do do do do
Watching what you say girl
Never blow away girl
Living in the crazy world
Ive always been the same girl
Some days will change your life
Yeah this could be one of them
Im just living life and thinking...
Ive always been the same girl
Living in the same world
Singing little songs at the break of dawn girl
Sitting on the front porch
Do do do do do
Watching what you say girl
Never blow away girl
Living in the crazy world
Ive always been the same girl
Living in the crazy world
Ive always been the same girl |
I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain
Thats what people say, thats what people say
I go on too many dates, but I cant make em stay
Least thats what people say, thats what people say
But I keep cruising, cant stop, wont stop moving
Its like I got this music in my mind sayin its gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play
And the haters gonna hate
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break
And the fakers gonna fake
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Shake it off
Ill never miss a beat, Im lightning on my feet
Thats what they don’t see, thats what they don’t see
Im dancing on my own, Ill make up the moves as I go
And thats what they dont know, that’s what they don’t know
Cause the players gonna play
And the haters gonna hate
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break
And the fakers gonna fake
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Baby, Im just gonna shake
Shake it off, shake it off |
Im like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never wouldve known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Thats my man
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was one prize Id cheat to win
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Thats my man
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a 90s trend
Wait for the signal, and Ill meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I shouldve known from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Hey, that’s my man
That’s my man
Yeah, that’s my man
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
That’s my man
Hey, that’s my man
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man
That’s my man
That’s my man
Hey that’s my man
I’m begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that’s my man |
Days go by, I wonder if you hear me
Cant you read between the lines?
Now Im standing still, I am disappearing
Take this chance, Ill make you mine
Dont you wonder why
You change in time
Makes you feel so empty inside
But loves got me cornered in the back of the room
Im spinning around, Im spinning around
And all I see is someone I dont know
Loves got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
He tells lies, are you really thinking
That you deserve another try
When you see these eyes
You see another planet
Dont ask how, but fate decides
Dont you wonder why
You change in time
Makes you feel so empty inside
But loves got me cornered in the back of the room
Im spinning around, Im spinning around
And all I see is someone I dont know
Loves got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
Spinning and turning
And living and learning
I should be able to handle this
Make it or break it
Move it or shake it
Do it or fake it
Girl youve got to make it
But loves got me cornered in the back of the room
Im spinning around, Im spinning around
And all I see is someone I dont know
Loves got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
Spinning me around
And all I see is you |
Step one, you say, We need to talk.
He walks, you say, Sit down. Its just a talk.
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things youve told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones youve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or hell say hes just not the same
And youll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life |
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 Im nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when Im wounded
You, pickin on the weaker man
Well you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you dont know, what you dont know
Someday, Ill be living in a big old city
And all youre ever gonna be is mean
Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me
And all youre 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 dont already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out
Cause Ill never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
Cause you cant lead me down that road
You dont know, what you dont know
Someday, Ill be, living in a big old city
And all youre ever gonna be is mean
Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me
And all youre 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
Nobodys listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I cant 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, Ill be, living in a big old city
And all youre ever gonna be is mean. Yeah
Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me
And all youre ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Why you gotta be so mean?
Why you gotta be so mean?
Why you gotta be so mean?
And all youre ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean? |
There is some unbelievable music that has come out of artists who are from LA, did you know that?
Like Los Angeles has put out so many bands and artists that I’m such a fan of and
I’d love to play you some music I’m a fan of that’s come from LA, is that okay?
This one came out in 1981: 8 years before I was born and I love this song, it’s called “Bette Davis Eyes”
Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
Shes got Bette Davis eyes
Shell turn her music on
You wont have to think twice
Shes pure as New York snow
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
And shell tease you
Shell unease you
All the better just to please you
Shes precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
Shes got Bette Davis eyes
Shell let you take her home
It whets her appetite
Shell lay you on her throne
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
Shell expose you
And just knows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
Shes ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think shes a spy
Shes got Bette Davis eyes |
I dont like your little games
Dont like your tilted stage
The role you made me play
Of the fool, no, I dont like you
I dont like your perfect crime
How you laugh when you lie
You said the gun was mine
Isnt cool, no, I dont like you
But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
Ive got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
I dont like your kingdom keys
They once belonged to me
You asked me for a place to sleep
Locked me out and threw a feast
The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on, but one things for sure
Maybe I got mine, but youll all get yours
But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
Ive got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
I dont trust nobody and nobody trusts me
Ill be the actor starring in your bad dreams
I dont trust nobody and nobody trusts me
Ill be the actor starring in your bad dreams
I dont trust nobody and nobody trusts me
Ill be the actor starring in your bad dreams
I dont trust nobody and nobody trusts me
Ill be the actor starring in your bad dreams
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me
Im sorry, the old Frank cant come to the phone right now
Why? Oh, cause hes dead!
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do |
Your feet under the table
I love it when theyre touching mine
Your hands make the crisps at the cradle
To tell me everything is fine
All I see is you looking at me
Do you know when you go
You make the sweetest sight at the window
If you had never come out of the blue
I would have stayed up and Made Up You
You smile just like a picture
It doesnt even need a frame
Sometimes I wait to answer
Just to hear you say my name
And all I want is just what Ive got
Do you know when you go
You make the sweetest sight at the window
If you had never come out of the blue
I would have stayed up and Made Up You
Id never let you go
Even If I could
Cause I never couldve dreamed you up this good
Do you know when you go
You make the sweetest sight at the window
If you had never come out of the blue
I would have stayed up and Made Up You
Made Up You
Oh oh
Made Up You |
It wouldve been nice to see you coming
But that wouldve ruined the surprise
It wouldve been nice to have a picture perfect world
But then the truth would hurt my eyes
It wouldve been good for you to be there
And every time you always would
Everything seems to have a picture perfect time
And nothing seems to be a blur
Its hard to see a picture drop before it hits the ground
Its nice to know youre here and youre helping me down
But you were always there when I needed
You would always see me clearly
And you were never looking for a thank you
Im saying one for you
Wouldve been cool to never fall down
But then I never wouldve seen
The power isnt with the picture perfect person
You told me better things to come from in between
Its hard to see a picture drop before it hits the ground
Its nice to know youre here and youre helping me down
But you were always there when I needed
You would always see me clearly
And you were never looking for a thank you
Im saying one, saying one, saying one for you
It wouldve been nice to see you coming
But that wouldve ruined the surprise
It wouldve been nice to have a picture perfect world
But then the truth would hurt my eyes
But you were always there when I needed
You would always see me clearly
And you were never looking for a thank you
Im saying one for you |
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah
And you heard about me, ooh
I got some big enemies
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation, ah
And I heard about you, ooh
You like the bad ones, too
You like the bad ones, too
You like the bad ones
I dont wanna touch you, I dont wanna be
Just another ex-love you dont wanna see
I dont wanna miss you like the other girls do
I dont wanna hurt you, I just wanna be
Drinking on a beach with you all over me
I know what they all say, yeah
But I aint tryna play
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
I hit you like bang, we tried to forget it, but we just couldnt
And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put em
Reputation precedes me, they told you Im crazy
I swear I dont love the drama, it loves me
And I cant let you go, your hand prints on my soul
Its like your eyes are liquor, its like your body is gold
Youve been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks
So heres the truth from my red lips
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah
And you heard about me, ooh
I got some big enemies
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation, ah
And I heard about you, ooh
You like the bad ones, too
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game |

Oh
We were standing in an empty room
The moonlight was falling
You were holding my hand when the car pulled up for you
And I could have spent a life with you
But those days are over
You were calling my name
When your face faded from view
Wasnt it you that told me?
The sun would always chase the day
Wasnt it you that told me?
Angels fly, in the air tonight
Saying wasnt it just like swimming out on the lake?
Stars collide in the air so light
Or was it just like those promises that you made? On our last night
Oh
I remember waking up with you
The days doing nothing
You meant more to me then, than you ever knew
You were going to be a doctor, a movie star, poet at a Nobel seminar
Hope the the world never tore that out of you
Tell me whatever happened to the things you loved?
And the songs we played and the Indian days
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
Like Harold and martin singing
I was waving as you drove away
The sunlight was falling
You were riding backwards in a dusty window pane
Angels fly in the air tonight
Was it just like the promises that we made?
And stars collide in the air so light
Was it just like those promises that you made?
On our last night
On our last night
Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, yeah, oh |
Hes got a nice little life
Hes gonna live it, but on
Friday nights he plays that mandolin
Painted red, and he said
Its not the best I know
But its mine, Im gonna make it mine
People there cant help but care
About the friendly music of a guy
Whos getting by from their applause
Hes got a song that moves along
Hes got his local crowd tonight
At Angelinas family bar and grill
Hes got his heart on his sleeve
The songs he plays just living free
But who knows what goes through his mind
When he plays a song it brings along
Everybody saying
Whos that guy who plays the mandolin... mandolin
Oh yeah, mandolin
Got a car, got a scar
Like everyone hes got a few but
Everybody loves that mandolin
Got his problems, bills to pay
Somehow that boy finds a way
Through paychecks in tip jars, yeah
Hes got his heart on his sleeve
The songs he plays just living free
But who knows what goes through his mind
When he plays a song it brings along
Everybody saying
Whos that guy who plays the mandolin... mandolin
Oh yeah, mandolin
Oh hes the kind of guy
Who never really wanted fame
His feet are planted firmly on the ground
He never wanted people to remember his name
He never wanted word to get around
That he found heaven on earth
Hes got his heart on his sleeve
The songs he plays just living free
But who knows what goes through his mind
When he plays a song it brings along
Everybody saying
Whos that guy who plays the mandolin
Oh, Im the guy who plays the mandolin
Mandolin
Oh, mandolin |
Here in my mind the sky looks the same
On every day you loved me
When we started home it started to rain
You put your coat around me
We stood there in the road
You held me so close
But did you ever let go
Down came the rain
Lightning and thunder
We tried in vain
To hold on to each other
Winds of change blew you away from me
Right here right now, I feel it on my skin
The bitter sting of what we could’ve been
Just when our love was like a burning flame
Down came the rain
In through the window I see her with you
I’m soaked to the skin, you’re warm and dry
I guess the storm is over for you
But look at the tears here in my eyes
I just stood there like a ghost
As you held her so close
And as I let you go
Down came the rain
Lightning and thunder
We tried in vain
To hold on to each other
Winds of change blew you away from me
Love like this changes who you are
Every kiss you gave me is a scar
Just when our love was like a burning flame
Down came the rain
All I need is to move on fast
But all I want is to have you back
And it just keeps falling…
Down came the rain
Lightning and thunder
We tried in vain
To hold on to each other
Winds of change blew you away from me
Right here right now, I feel it on my skin
The bitter sting of what we could’ve been
Just when our love was like a burning flame
Down came the rain
Down came the rain |
I think you fell off of your cloud today
You didnt see it coming or did you
You tried to please everybody
But the sweet breeze swept you away
The sun goes down on a good day
Tomorrow is still an unknown
You think youre all alone in this place
I think youre crazy cause I still love you baby
Oh dont fade away baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Dont count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Dont fade away
Never fade
Hard to breathe, nobody knows its you
Somebody blows your candle out
You wore a mask, now thats broken too
Everybody else was everything to you
The sun goes down on a good day
Tomorrow is still an unknown
You think everybody wants a fight
I think youre crazy cause I still love you baby
Oh dont fade away baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Dont count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Dont fade away
Never fade
I think you fell out of the sky today
I think you know its true
Youve seen the world, now all you see is me
Tell me now baby what are you gonna do
Oh dont fade away baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Dont count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Dont fade away
Dont fade away
Dont fade away
Never fade |
I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize it was only just a dream
I was at the top and now its like Im in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I cant take it, knowing somebodys got my baby
And now you aint around, baby, I cant think
I shouldve put it down, shouldve got the ring
Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, Im tied
Cause I knew that it just aint right
I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize it was only just a dream
When I be ridin, man, I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher over I cant let it burn
And I just hope she know that shes the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss her. When will I learn?
Didnt give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now Im in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasnt enough
Im going through it every time that Im alone
And now Im missing, wishing shed pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
Cause I was wrong
I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize it was only just a dream
[Bridge: Nelly
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now theyre gone and youre wishing you could give them everything
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now theyre gone and youre wishing you could give them everything
I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize it was only just a dream
I was thinking bout her, thinking bout me
Thinking bout us, what we gon be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travelled back down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize it was only just a dream |
So the clip that youre about to hear
Is my preparation for a writing session
Um I was writing with two writers
I hadnt ever worked with before
So I wanted to come in with an idea
That was pretty much all there
Melody and lyrics
Um, and so I had this idea
Called I Forgot That You Existed
And I wanted it to be really simple
I thought it might be a really fun way to open the album
Like basically kind of shrugging off
A lot of things
That youve been through that have
Been causing a lot of struggle and pain
And just one day you wake up and
You realize youre indifferent
To... whatever caused you that pain
And so this is a clip of me
Just trying to tinker around on the piano
Trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it
And you can hear the end result on the album
But this is where it started
I forgot that you existed
Thought Id miss you but I didnt
And it was so nice
I forgot that you existed
I forgot that you existed
Thought Id miss you but I didnt
And it was so nice
I forgot that you existed
Id miss you but I didnt
And it was so nice
So peaceful and
How many nights I ... how you did me
How many days did I wait thinking
Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?
I forgot that you existed
I thought Id miss you but I didnt
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed |
Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster as I step out on my own
Theres a new horizon and the promise of favorable wind
Im heading out tonight, traveling light
Im gonna start all over again
And buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause Im gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I dont know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that Im strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I wont let fear clip my wings and tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind
Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees through the valley of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining like a light on me and now I can see my way out
Buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause Im gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I dont know
Buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
Im gonna have my breakfast with some pink champagne
Gonna sail the ocean, gonna spread my wings
Gonna climb that mountain, gonna do everything |
Just had a conversation with the mirror
I ended up not having much to say
Said Today is for the lovers and the leaders
I hate to tell you, it just aint your day
So this is my rain song
Its cold outside and I still love you
Guess I was dead wrong
Youll find out when theres clouds above you
Finding it aint worth losing you
When it all comes down
It comes down to
This only rain song
Youre on my mind and I still love you
And its a complication with the voices
Rounding all around inside my mind
I used to think this heart had lots of choices
But they all lead to your doorstep every time
This is my rain song
Its cold outside and I still love you
Guess I was dead wrong
Youll find out when theres clouds above you
Finding it aint worth losing you
When it all comes down
It comes down to
This only rain song
Youre on my mind and I still love you
So this is my apology
My words, my tears, are all me
Laid out in front of you
Like a grasp for truth
On a Sunday afternoon
This is a song for you
This is my rain song
Its cold outside and I still love you
Guess I was dead wrong
And youll find out when theres clouds above you
Finding it aint worth losing you
When it all comes down
It comes down to
This only rain song
Youre on my mind and I still love you
Ooh
I still love you
I had a conversation with the mirror
It ended up not having much to say |
Lyrics from Snippet
He said, Lets get out of this town
Drive out of this city, away from the crowds
I thought, Heaven cant help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is
Say youll remember me
Standin in a nice dress
Starin at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say youll see me again
Even if its just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
Say youll remember me
Standin in a nice dress
Starin at the sunset, babе
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say youll see me again
Even if its just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
Even if its just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
In your wildest dreams, ah, ha |
Stand there like a ghost
Shakin from the rain
Shell open up the door and say, Are you insane?
Say its been a long six months
And you were too afraid to tell her what you want
And thats how it works
Thats how you get the girl
Thats how it works
Thats how you get the girl
Say I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, Ill put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And thats how it works
Thats how you get the girl
Remind her how it used to be
Of pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks
Tell her how you must have lost your mind
When you left her all alone and you never told her why
And thats how it works
Thats how you lost the girl
I want you for worse or for better
I will wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And thats how it works
Thats how you get the girl
And thats how it works
Thats how you get the girl
You could know that I dont wanna let you go
You could know that I dont wanna let you go
Remind me how it used to be
Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks
And you say, you say you want me
And you say, you say you want me |
Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanting something more
Searching for a sound that they havent heard before
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Its a new soundtrack
I can dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
They never blind me, me
When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
You can want who you want
Boys and boys, girls and girls
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Its been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Its a new soundtrack
I can dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
They never blind me, me
Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, its ever-changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
But you wouldnt change anything, anything, anything
Aahhh... Aahhh...
Oohh... |
Paul: Theres no big fancy introduction, I dont think we really need one. We just start talking.
Taylor: I mean, yeah, we could do that.
We could do that, right?
Yeah. I mean, did you have a fancy introduction planned?
No?
Did you have a song prepared?
Do we really, well, funny you should mention - no, no song. No song prepared, thats not gonna -
Not at all? And I came all the way to Canada.
Focusing on the year 1989, it was a great year. Do you know what the Best Picture that year was?
I do not.
The movie that won Best Picture in 1989: Rain Man.
Amazing!
Good movie, right?
Fantastic.
Good movie. The Album of the Year, do you know the that won a Grammy? Its the first time that this has happened, really, to you?
Yeah.
In an interview about an album called 1989?
Well, I just figured youd just want to show off your knowledge.
Well, its the internet, its not really showing off.
Okay.
George Michaels Faith!
Amazing!
Album of the Year.
This is actually educational.
Its pretty good, right? But I was happy that it wasnt, like, there werent too sketchy things. Those were really good things that stand up. Rain Man is still great to watch, Faith is still a fantastic album.
Like a Prayer by Madonna came out in 1989, one of the most influential pop songs and music videos of all time.
You were born.
I was in 1989 for two weeks.
Yeah, thats okay. Thats okay.
But it still happened in that year.
It happened in 1989. Youve only released a studio album four times previous to this, so this is something that doesnt happen to you all that often. So, the title of it -
Its really important.
The theme of it is really important, right? When was the moment you decided it was gonna be 1989?
Actually, no one... this is why I like talking to you, because no one has ever come at it from this angle and actually asked me that specific question. Its actually a really interesting moment. I remember exactly when I decided that I was gonna call it 1989. It was the night of the Grammys this year. After the Grammys I didnt go to any afterparties or anything, I kind of wanted to go home and eat In-N-Out Burger with my friends. I remember going home and playing a lot of the new music I had recorded for some of my backup singers and one of my best friends. We were all sitting in the kitchen and I was playing them all this music, and they were just saying, ‘you know, this is very eighties. It’s very clear to us that this is so eighties.’ We were just talking and talking about how it’s kind of a rebirth in a new genre, how that’s a big bold step, how, kind of, starting a part of your career over. When they left that night, I just had this very clear moment of, ‘it’s gotta be called 1989. Its gotta be called that. Were talking about creative rebirth, my birth year, the album is eighties-influenced. I didnt know I was doing that but I was doing that.
You didnt know you were doing that?
I didnt mean to do it, I just was doing it. And so, then, after that, I really was able to focus on the, kind of, eighties sonic concept. And then it really came together as a very sonically cohesive project.
Were you still writing songs in the traditional way, with a guitar?
Yes and no, I mean, some of them I wrote on piano, some of them I wrote on guitar. Some of them I would think of some synth line in my head and sing it into my phone and send it to my co-writers and say, ‘do you think this would sound cool?’
Like, without words, just singing the, kind of, synth line?
Yeah! Or singing a drum beat over top of it, and I would send it to them and Id go, ‘I don’t have the right keyboard to make this sound in my house. I just have a piano and a guitar, but let me play it for you on piano and let you know what I think the bassline should be, and we can start there.’ Or it would be a first line of a first verse, or it would be, sort of, an image that I wanted to create a feeling around. We would just start with this image I had, or a story. It was a lot different than making any of my other albums.
It was?
Yeah.
Biggest difference was what?
The biggest difference was that I didnt have any, I didnt have any boundaries around me production-wise. You know, one of my favorite things about country music is that it taught me how to tell stories. Coming up in the Nashville songwriting community was the greatest thing that couldve ever happened to me because it taught me how to weave a story together with very, um, very detailed, personal details but also some, kind of, like, poetic, purple imagery. I love, kind of, I love how it all came about with my career, but at this point, it felt like I wanted to go and run in a direction that I had never run in before, which was, I wanna be able to use whatever instruments I want, whatever drum sounds I want, whatever vocal stylings I want. I want to build and layer things, and I dont want someone to say, well, this isnt country. You know? And for me to be trying to prove that it was. So the reason this felt like a much more free experience was because I was able to write songs without the worry people would say it wasnt in the genre it was supposed to be in. So in labelling it pop and just calling it what it was, you know, when you make a pop album nobodys gonna look at it and say, well, thats not pop. So I didnt have any restraints on me.
Jason Aldean recently said something about how youre not gonna hear him writing a song about being a Wall Street stock broker because he doesnt even know where Wall Streets at, and that was the -
Hes gotta know where that is.
I think he-
Its in New York.
Thats where he keeps his money.
Hes gotta know. He knows where its at.
I think he was trying to say, just why -
I get what hes trying to say, though. Sorry, I was just, like, my dad is a stock broker who wouldve just been, like, his brain would be, like,
I understand that thats his life and talking about, this is where I grew up, what I grew up knowing. What you grew up knowing is much different. Its international.
Yeah.
Its the world. Youve been traveling the world for a long time.
I completely understand what he was saying there, because, I mean, with me, its the same thing. Its like, as my life has changed, I need to continue to write about it, and I need to continue to write about even the things that change, like moving to New York and, you know, focusing more on my girlfriends rather than boyfriends. Like, these are things that are, kind of, the focal point of this new album. And as much of when I was in high school, I would sing about what my life was, which was, you know, sneaking out at night, and driving in trucks with your first boyfriend, and falling in love, and that, kind of, innocent summer romance thing, small towns, dirt roads. That was actually my life in high school. Its not anymore. So if I were to continue to write songs about that, I feel like it would be very disingenuous, and as a songwriter, thats the exact opposite of the goal Im trying to accomplish.
In listening to the songs Ive heard already, theyre still, theyre very much story songs. You tell a story in each one. Theres a beginning, a middle, and an end, and thats something that you focus on.
Definitely. I mean, I think thats kind of engrained in me, and thats the one part of my songwriting that I dont think should change as everything else does. I think that my fans have gotten used to receiving my diary entries every two years, and getting that album and going, oh, this is what shes been through the last two years.
I meet a bunch of people who are in the public eye, but not quite like, theres nobody in the public eye like you. Theres a few on the planet, and theres nothing that could prepare you for that. Am I right? Theres nothing in life that could prepare you for that.
I feel really lucky because I dont feel like I was shot out of a cannon, you know? A lot of people have their first single come out and it is everywhere, and all of a sudden they have a triple-platinum single, and theres all this anticipation about their album and then, all of a sudden, people start to tear them down, and it all happens over the course of six months to a year. My career build, I mean, were going on, its about nine years now since I put out my first album?
The record label was signed in 2005, right? The record deal rather, sorry.
Were going on almost ten years, so its been a really, really gradual arc, and that doesnt mean that sometimes it doesnt feel that its at a crazy fever pitch that no one could ever prepare you for, but as much as you could possibly be prepared for it, I feel like time has kind of prepared me for it. I mean, some days I wake up and am absolutely overwhelmed by how abnormal my life is. Its not normal to have security with you wherever you go. Its not normal to have assistants. Its not normal to have hair and makeup every day. Its not normal -
To give you people heat for holding a cat a certain way on the streets of New York.
That cat loves being held like that!
I know! No, I know! But you cant do anything without somebody at some point on some website, well, the cat doesnt, this isnt right for the cat to be out like that.
The cat loves it. The cat, heres the thing -
Is that Olivia?
Yeah, thats Olivia. Yeah, youre right, exactly. And when everything that you do is debated upon, scrutinized, questioned, everybody feels entitled to ask you why you did everything. There are days where I feel really, really okay with that, honestly, but then there are days where I just, am kind of overwhelmed by all of it, and I think that thats okay. I try to encourage my fans that they dont have to feel confident every day, they dont have to feel happy every day, they dont have to feel pretty every day, they dont have to wanted every day. That they shouldnt put added, extra pressure on themselves to feel happy when theyre not, you know? I think being honest with yourself emotionally is really important.
When you signed that record deal in 2005, is there any advice you would go back and give to that girl that was signing that day? Or because the slow and gradual build it kind of worked out? I mean, its obviously all worked out okay. What advice are you gonna give to somebody like that?
I dont think Id wanna give her too much advice, I would... oh, I think I would tell her to laugh more. Just, you know, if you laugh at yourself first its less funny when other people make fun of you. I would also explain to her the actual definition of feminism, because I didnt know it when I was younger. I think those are two important things for girls to know, going into this business or going into life itself. But all the other things, all the really intense, times I felt serious pain or rejection or humiliation or embarrassment, those have all produced the songs Im the most proud of. There was this crazy circumstance that happened where I wrote this song Mean about the harshest criticisms Ive ever gotten. It was brutal. And that song ended up winning two Grammys.
Spectacular, yeah. In hindsight you dont , but if you knew something was coming, if someone said to you, theres something coming around the corner, its brutal, youre gonna want to, you know, hoodie for three weeks, youre never gonna want to deal with it. But the result will be Album of the Year.
Oh my God, youd do anything for that!
Fair enough. Like I said earlier, this is one of the things you dont get to do all the time. You get to go on stage a lot, you get to be interviewed a lot, all of these things happen to you, but album releases dont happen a lot.
They dont.
They dont happen a lot.
Im really soaking it in.
Yeah? Do you still get as excited? I know you were saying youre more proud of this than any of them.
Yeah. Im so excited, I mean, honestly. Because having spent the last year and a half, just kind of living my life on my own terms and not, not dating, not focusing on really anything else other than figuring out the album I wanted to make, theres such an incentive for me, like, Im so proud of it. And Ive always been proud of my albums, but theres something about this one, where I feel like I actually did something different this time. I actually made something that is cohesive and fits together and has its own sound and something I was so focused on. And I can be focused on my fans, and I can, you know, like, Im not tired right now during this interview. Like, Im not distracted, Im just, kind of, Im just, really taking it in.
The highs that you get on stage, almost nobody gets to experience, what you experience on stage. Which, again on the planet. You have one of those jobs thats very rare. Whats second to that? Whats the thing that comes the closest to the electricity that you feel when youre on stage?
I would say its different all the time, but right now its, like, seasonal stuff. Like, I get as excited about being on stage as I get about cozy things. Because just the idea of seasons changing. This is the time of year where Im so out-of-control excited about the fact that its fall. Guess whats next? Winter.
Yes, so youre gonna have a hard time getting anybody here excited about that.
Its two seasons that I love, and I can bake stuff all the time, and then I can give it to people. I can try out new recipes, I can wear sweaters, I can wear knee socks. I could even buy sweaters for my cats to wear.
Okay.
I could do any of that, because its that kind of season!
But thats almost as exciting as being on stage in front of forty thousand people?
You have to understand that if youre choosing your first place as being something like, ahhhhhhh, the second place has to be something that evens that out, which is, like, baking day with your friends.
But your answer really is, I dont need another high like that, because thats the one I get by going on stage.
I think that is actually my revised answer.
You mentioned feminism. You have, almost by happy accident, become a real icon for girls and women, and you said earlier that that would be one of the things you might make sure you would change if you were to go back and talk to younger you, is to, kind of, narrow down that definition, or define the definition of feminism. Do you realize, kind of, how great that it is for young girls to see what youre doing? I mean, you get to experience that , right? When you talk to parents of young girls, right?
Thats awesome. Its interesting because I think that feminism is such an important conversation to be having. Especially right now, because with girls out there in the world living their lives, knowing what it means is so important, because all it means is that they feel they should be treated exactly the same way as guys. They should be given equal opportunities and rights. And I think the more people like Lena talk about it, like, Lorde and Emma Watson talk about it, and the fact that its becoming, sort of, a conversation that is top-of-mind in the media. I think its so incredible. Ive always made music so I could feel camaraderie with my fans, not in a way that was trying to cater to, kind of, any male fantasy, and that wasnt on purpose, thats just been what has felt natural to me. When asked early on about feminism in my career, I just, I think I was probably fifteen the first time I was asked about it. And so I would just say, I dont talk about politics, I dont really understand that stuff yet, so I guess Im just gonna say Im not. And I wish that when I was younger I wouldve known that its simply hoping for gender equality.
Probably not so fair of the interviewer to ask a fifteen-year-old about that.
You know, thats an interesting point to make. But I think that, in the media, its very interesting to witness, on a daily basis. You know, you go online, and we all see these gossip blogs every single time we log on, because were curious and thats the society we live in. But youll see these polls, like, vote on who has a better butt! This woman or this woman? And you never see who has a better butt: this man or this man? It just never happens. Whos the hotter mama: this woman or this woman? Its not, like, whos the sexiest dad: this man or this man? You just dont see it. And people are allowed to pit women against each other and vote, and they think its an innocent thing, when really its kind of warping your mind that, you know. And if a young girl logs on and votes, its like shes going, oh my God, if that girl in my class is pretty and smart, then maybe everyones comparing me to her, and maybe I should hate her. And thats just, its feeding this negativity and I really think that with girls, kind of, banding together, in music, in culture, in movies, whatever. I think its nice to see people actually cheer each other on and girls be friends with each other, because hopefully that will kind of bleed into the classroom, and the playground, and the campus, and all that.
I know it seems like disposable entertainment for adults, but its not only adults who are seeing this stuff.
Its mostly not adults.
Its mostly not adults.
Its mostly very impressionable kids and young girls who are still forming their ideas of who they actually are. And to warp their opinions of other girls, that just adds anxiety to their life that they dont need.
This kind of brings me to talking about your legacy, and I know, I think five albums in its appropriate to start talking a little bit about that. Im guessing that you try very hard to make sure that the music you make, you release the things you take part in enough, that theyll all be able to stand up. Not just to the test of time, say, sonically or whatever, but that you can continue to be proud of this, is that right?
Yeah, its completely right, its dead-on. Ive always had this thing where I think about what, if Im lucky enough to have grandkids someday, what they would say. If they looked back on pictures, and videos, and things like that, and Id sure theyd laugh at me and make fun of my awkwardness and things like that. But I would never want to embarrass them. Its interesting because its like the whole role model question, like, are you a role model? Do you think about the little kids in the front row when youre doing all the things youre doing in this life? I think thats an unnecessary pressure to put on yourself, but its easier when you make it about your own life, your own legacy, when you, kind of, bring it in house, and youre, like, what if I have a five-year-old someday? And what if someday my ten-year-old goes online for the first time? Like, what do I want her to see about me?
Thats a pretty good way to look at it.
Its something that happens very naturally where if youre, kind of, just taking accountability and responsibility for your own actions, its kind of a natural thing that happens, where, you know, all of a sudden you have parents coming up and thanking you, and youre just, sort of, like, hm, well, youre welcome. Where you were just, kind of, trying to live a good life, because I think, you know, you dont want to feel like youre the national president of the babysitters club, but you do wanna try to do good things, and make ripples, and good echoes in society, and culture, and all that.
But you are doing that, and in the music that Ive heard already, man, are people gonna get a kick out of hearing this, and experiencing it live. Its great, congratulations on this.
Good. Thank you!
Its epic. The albums out.
Thank you! Its great to talk to you, as always.
As always. Thanks, Taylor.
Awesome.
Nice job.
Thanks! Youre so good!
Thank you, thank you for doing this.
I always end up telling you stuff that Ive never thought to say in interviews. |
bad days, tell me, Ill
look so sad? You feel
know you thought you had it
I know all about that
You had planned out, saw the
You, Im a dreamer, too
Lost the but Ill be right
And Ill take care of you
If you get knocked off your feet
Ill try to see it coming
Ill get a symphony to play that song
Pick you up, take your hand, stop your crying
Theres no chance you wont make it through
Im looking out for you
Beneath those scared eyes
Theres something wonderful
That you dont know you have
I know youre scared but Id pass up a miracle
Just to hear you laugh
If you get tired of me, Ill pretend to let you go
If you need room to breathe, step back and watch you go
Sweet child, youve seen better days
But you know its gonna be okay
Show me that smile you got from your father
Its gonna be fine just because you got my love, you got my love |
If I could be sweet
I would but first of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way
Cause Ive been acting like sour milk all on the floor
Its your fault you didnt shut the refrigerator
Maybe thats the reason Ive been acting so cold
If I could escape
And recreate a place thats my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Now tell me boy now wouldnt that be sweet
If I could be sweet
Sorry, but I know Ive been a real bad girl
I didnt mean for you to get hurt
Whatsoever
We can make it better
Now tell me boy now wouldnt that be sweet
Sweet escape, sweet escape
You let me drown
Im at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, lets bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around
Lets look for some common ground
Oh baby
Times been getting a little crazy
Ive been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that youre angry
By the way that you treat me
Hopefully, you dont leave me
Wanna take you with me
If I could escape
And recreate a place thats my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Now tell me boy now wouldnt that be sweet
If I could be sweet
Sorry, but I know Ive been a real bad girl
I didnt mean for you to get hurt
Whatsoever
We can make it better
Now tell me boy now wouldnt that be sweet
Sweet escape, sweet escape |

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers wed grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth
Youre still all over me like a wine-stained shirt I cant wear anymore
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, thats when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean
There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust, covering my room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, and I screamed so loud
But nobody heard a thing
And the rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, thats when I could finally breathe
That morning, gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean
Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because youre clean dont mean you dont miss it
Ten months older, I wont give in
Now that Im clean, Im never gonna risk it
Now Im clean, not gonna risk it
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, thats when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think that I am finally clean
It came pouring down
When I was drowning, thats when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
Gone was any trace of you
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace of you |
We gather here, we line up, weepin in a sunlit room
And if Im on fire, youll be made of ashes, too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
Til my dying day
I didnt have it in myself to go with grace
And youre the hero flying around, saving face
And if Im dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
We gather stones, nevеr knowing what theyll mean
Some to throw, oh, somе to make a diamond ring
You know I didnt want to have to haunt you
But what a ghostly scene
You wear the same jewels that I gave you
As you bury me
I didnt have it in myself to go with grace
Cause when Id fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And if Im dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
And I can go anywhere I want
Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones
And I still talk to you
When Im screaming at the sky
And when you cant sleep at night
You hear my stolen lullabies
I didnt have it in myself to go with grace
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And youre tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
Crossing out the good years
And youre cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
Yeah, look at how my tears ricochet
Look at all of my tears, turning into your tears
Look at all my tears ricochet |
We could leave the Christmas lights up til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And theres a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, take me home
Youre my, my, my, my lover
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the calls
And Im highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
Oh, Ive loved you three summers now, honey, but I want em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, take me home
Youre my, my, my, my
Darling, youre my, my, my, my lover
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know?
What do I know, oh?
I know its been a while, sweetheart
We hardly talk, I been doing my thing
I know it was foul, baby
Aye, babe, lately, youve been all on my brain
If somebody woulda told me a month ago
Frontin, though, nah, I wouldnt wanna know
If somebody woulda told me a year ago
Itll go get this difficult
Feelin like Katrina with no FEMA
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no Visa
First class with the seat back, I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memorys museum
Im just saying, hey, Mona Lisa
Come home, you know you cant roam without Caesar
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know?
What do I know, oh?
As you recall, you know I love to show off
But you never thought that I would take it this far
I know
What do I know, oh? |
Hey a little bit ago we were talking about uh, songwriting and listening to songs and putting down what you feel in the song, and um, up next in the countdown is Taylor Swift, and have you heard this song yet?
I have heard this song
Tim McGraw. And what what did you think the first time you heard it? Or how was the first time?
It was awesome. Uh, except for, I didnt know if I should, I should take it as a compliment or I should feel old?
Ah, ha ha ha
I didnt know which one but the more, the more I hear it the more, I dont know if its true or not, but I start taking it as a compliment and not that I feel that Im old, I dont know if thats true, but thats what I choose to think.
Why dont we find out. Taylor is a compliment, or uh, hes old?
Oh its definitely a compliment. Yeah.
Tim McGraw, meet Taylor Swift.
Nice-
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Taylor. How you doing?
Im doing great. How are you doing?
Im doing good. Congratulations on your record. Its doing great.
Thank you so much. Im just so excited. Thank you for, uh, having good... music and everything. I swear Im not a stalker
Well-
The funny thing about this song is ya know, as a writer, some of the songs that you write like four hours, youll do them writing a song and itll be good and everything but I wrote this one in literally 15 minutes. And ya know, I really didnt think anything about calling in Tim McGraw so I kinda shelved it for like three months and never even thought that it was going to be a single. But, um, my label heard it and was like, were putting that out.
Well, Im glad ya did, cause, um, its doing well for ya.
So I-, so I understand that you two guys have not talked.
No.
You havent met.
No.
No, weve never talked or met or anything.
I sent her a message one time. I think with Entertainment Weekly
Or something like that. Oh, I dont remember what show it was. I was doing an interview and they were going to interview Taylor the next day. So, I sent her a little message, so, I dont know if she got it or not.
Oh my God. They never gave that to me.
They didnt? Okay, well, there ya go. I did.
So I-I.
Weve just officially never never talked or messaged or anything.
Not at all.
So I thought, I think its pretty brave to put out a song called Tim McGraw without maybe talking to Tim McGraw. Did you mind?
It was definitely kind of a chance. Ya know, I didnt say anything bad in the song so I was kinda thinking, ya know, he wouldnt take it too bad.
Well, thank you for that. Thank you for not saying anything bad
Im sure theres plenty that couldve been said. Tell me-
Could you tell Faith that I said hello?
I sure will. I sure will. And she loves the song too by the way.
Oh my gosh, shes awesome.
I agree.
This, this...Tell me about writing a song. Um, did this, did this really happen?
Well, yeah. I mean, I never really kinda went into this writing
Session on Im gonna write a song called Tim McGraw
Um, yeah. because, that would just be weird. But um... .
I actually this this is kinda strange, but I actually came up with the
melody and ideas for this song in math class in my freshman year
of high school.
Now I feel old.
And um, I was sitting there and was kind of started singing it to myself. And I was going through a period where I was dating this guy that was going off to college and I knew we were gonna break up. So I started to think about all the things that I knew would remind him of me. And its kinda like a given one of all my friends ya know? That my favorite songs are Tim McGraw songs. They just are.
Aww, thank you.
And uh, you know so I kinda just thought about that first. And so it pointed to the song and just sat down at that piano. And wrote it with this co-writer who was kinda wondering if I was crazy or not but it turned out alright. And ya know, the funny thing is that I shelved this song for like three months and never never even played it for anybody, never even demoed it. And uh, then one time I was just goofing around and played it for my record label president and he goes, Well, thats your first single.
And Im like, well.
Well, you can write songs about me anytime, Taylor
Thats awesome. Theres a part two coming out next month.
Alright, great
Well, congratulations cause its your first single. First top ten hit and thats pretty exciting. And I know youre off to the races here.
Youre just doing great and, uh, congratulations, very exciting for you!
Awesome, its been so exciting, Tim, when are you gonna start like bringing out opening acts again?
Um, I dont know. I dont know. Well have to look into that.
Well, Ill, I have someone who I think will be really perfect for it.
Ya do? What would-
Yeah.
What would their name be?
Uh, um, I think Taylor something.
Something like that, yeah
But.
Well, Ill, Ill be more than happy to have you out with me.
Just consider it.
Ah, well thats very good! Youre pretty fearless, Taylor Swift. Ill tell ya that.
Right shes, shes gonna be forward this time.
I think so. Country Countdown USA is now a booking agency as well.
Absolutely.
Hey Taylor, I know youre on the road, thank ya so much for joining us.
It was awesome and thank you. It was good to meet you, Tim.
You too. Good talking to you. Bye bye now.
Bye.
Good luck out there.

Walking downtown shuffling my feet
I try to dream my dreams above the concrete
Store windows, traveled for miles
But something I passed really caught my eye
It was cracked down the middle, permanent scars
But I fell in love with this here guitar
Nice to meet you, can I teach you
All I know, can you show me what you do
Where have you been
What have you seen
Who were you before you even knew me
Have you been played for endless hours
Or were you left in the corner
Or were you someones best friend
This here guitar
It was my baby, anyone could see
I love the cracks, the curves, the hidden beauty
But I cant help wondering why
It came to me and where well say goodbye
The cracks down the middle
Cant see where they are
Since I fell in love with this here guitar
Nice to meet you, can I teach you
All I know, can you show me what you do
Where have you been
What have you seen
Who were you before you even knew me
Have you been played for endless hours
Or were you left in the corner
Or were you someones best friend
This here guitar
Were you a present from a father to a son?
Did he forget you
Or just play you til you came undone?
Hey, did some primadonna love you
Til she got her fame and fortune?
I wont do that to you
Nice to meet you, can I teach you
All I know, can you show me what you do
Where have you been?
What have you seen?
Who were you before you even knew me?
Have you been played for endless hours
Or were you left in the corner
Or were you someones best friend?
This here guitar
Youre my guitar
This here guitar |
Its strange to think
The songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that youd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You shouldve said no, you shouldve gone home
You shouldve thought twice fore you let it all go
You should have known the word bout what you did with herd get back to me
And I shouldve been there in the back of your mind
I shouldnt be asking myself why
You shouldnt be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You shouldve said no, baby, and you might still have me
You can see that Ive been crying
Baby, you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same?
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You shouldve said no, you shouldve gone home
You shouldve thought twice fore you let it all go
You shouldve known the word bout what you did with herd get back to me
And I shouldve been there in the back of your mind
I shouldnt be asking myself why
You shouldnt be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You shouldve said no baby and you might still have me
I cant resist
Before you go tell me this
Was it worth this?
Was she worth this?
No, no, no, no, no, no
You shouldve said no, you shouldve gone home
You shouldve thought twice fore you let it all go
You shouldve known the word bout what you did with herd get back to me
And I shouldve been there in the back of your mind
I shouldnt be asking myself why
You shouldnt be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You shouldve said no baby and you might still have me |
Been sitting eyes wide open
Behind these four walls
Hoping youd call
Its just a cruel existence
Like theres no point hoping at all
Baby, baby
I feel crazy
Up all night, all night
And every day
Give me something
Or will you say nothing?
What is happening to me?
I dont wanna live forever
Cause I know Ill be living in vain
And I dont wanna flee wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
Im sitting eyes wide open
I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a problem
Or just lost the love of my life, oh
Baby, baby
I feel crazy
Up all night, all night
And every day
I gave you something
But you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?
I dont wanna live forever
Cause I know Ill be living in vain
And I dont wanna flee wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
Ive been looking tired in
All the nicest places
Baby, baby
I feel crazy
Now Im in a cab
I tell him where the place is
What is happening to me?
I dont wanna live forever
Cause I know Ill be living in vain
And I dont wanna flee wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home |
We were in the backseat
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
I rent a place on Cornelia Street
I say casually in the car
We were a fresh page on the desk
Filling in the blanks as we go
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head
Leading us home
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Thats the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
And baby, Im so terrified of if you ever walk away
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Windows flung right open, autumn air
Jacket round my shoulders is yours
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street
Memorize the creaks in the floor
Back when we were card sharks, playing games
I thought you were leading me on
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street
Before you even knew I was gone
But then you called, showed your hand
I turned around before I hit the tunnel
Sat on the roof, you and I
I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Thats the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
And baby, Im so terrified of if you ever walk away
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Ill never walk Cornelia Street again
You hold my hand on the street
Walk me back to that apartment
Years ago, we were just inside
Barefoot in the kitchen
Sacred new beginnings
That became my religion, listen
I hope I never lose you
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Oh, never again
‘Cause baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
And baby, Im so terrified of if you ever walk away
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
Id never walk Cornelia Street again
I dont wanna lose you
I dont wanna lose you
I rent a place on Cornelia Street
I say casually in the car |
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, thats a lie
Just a boy in a pickup truck
That had a funny way of getting stuck
On backroads at night
I was right there beside you all summer long
Then in time we woke up to find that summer gone
When you think Tim McGraw
Hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
The one you said you liked best
Next to my old faded pair of jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think me
September saw a month of tears
Thanking God that you werent here
To see me like that
In a box beneath my bed
Sits a letter that you never read
From three summers back
Its hard not to find it all bittersweet
But looking back on all of that its nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
Hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
The one you said you liked best
Next to my old faded pair of jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think me
Been back a couple times since then
And I didnt look you up
But some trains you cant catch again
You gotta leave it as it was
But when you think Tim McGraw
Hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
The one you said you liked best
Next to my old faded pair of jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
When you think Tim McGraw
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think me
You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, thats a lie |
Cardigan
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Cause I knew you
Steppin on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin like a father
Running like water, I
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew youd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew youd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew Id curse you for the longest time
Chasin shadows in the grocery line
I knew youd miss me once the thrill expired
And youd be standin in my front porch light
And I knew youd come back to me
Youd come back to me
And youd come back to me
And youd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someones bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
August
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of Are you sure?
Never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case youd call
And say, Meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us
Cause you werent mine to lose
You werent mine to lose
Willow
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a 90s trend
Wait for the signal, and Ill meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I shouldve known from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man |
I want it all to appear before my eyes when he smiles
Maybe Im wrong but I dont think Romeo would be my kind of guy
I want a love thats sweeter than roses
And for me this is how its gonna be
Like theres a fairytale guy
And he whispers sweet lullabies
And the music plays from nowhere
As we dance in the pale moonlight
With candles and fireflies all night
Everybody thinks about love
I want love they havent thought of yet
Here on the couch with a box of chocolates that I bought myself
Ill wait it out but sometimes my patience just needs a little help
Its what you get when your heartstrings are so tied
I dont regret it cause it needs to be perfect
Like theres a fairytale guy
And he whispers sweet lullabies
And he music plays from nowhere
As we dance in the pale moonlight
With candles and fireflies all night
Everybody thinks about love
I want love they havent thought of yet
I want my own little storybook ending
Well make it up as we go
Theres a fairytale guy
And he whispers sweet lullabies
And the music plays from nowhere
As we dance in the pale moonlight
With candles and fireflies all night
Everybody thinks about love
I want love they havent thought of yet
I want love they havent thought of yet |
Im like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never wouldve known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was onе prize Id cheat to win
The morе that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow, and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a 90s trend
Wait for the signal, and Ill meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I shouldve known from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow

Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Hey, thats my man
Thats my man
Yeah, thats my man
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
Thats my man
Hey, thats my man
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man |
Yo
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Theres vomit on his sweater already: Moms spaghetti
Hes nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words wont come out
Hes choking, how? Everybodys joking now
The clocks run out, times up, over—blaow!
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You make me smile like the sun
Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile |
The drought was the very worst
Oh-oh, oh-oh
When the flowers that wed grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back and forth
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, thats when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
I think I am finally clean
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in the 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
All 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
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live that 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
And hold on...
To spinning around...
Confetti...
Falls to the ground...
Theres glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before, but
Dont read the last page
But I stay when youre lost, and Im scared
And youre turning away
I want your midnights
But Ill be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day
You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
I can tell that its gonna be a long road
Ill be there if youre the toast of the town, babe
Or if you strike out and youre crawling home
Dont read the last page
But I stay when its hard, or its wrong
Or were making mistakes
I want your midnights
But Ill be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you
Please dont ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please dont ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Theres glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before, but
Dont read the last page
But I stay when its hard, or its wrong
Or were making mistakes
I want your midnights
But Ill be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And Long live
The walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life
With you
And Long live
The walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life
With you |
Standing on a street somewhere I dont wanna be
In a town thats made of stone
Some bad directions must have me here by mistake
Cause this sure aint what I call home
Let me close my eyes for a second
See if I can get out of here, and
Let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive by
And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here
But I dont, I just sit under this tree
And Im in Tennessee
Standing on a road leading to a barn
With a cat named Eloise
Later on, well all go fishing in the pond
But all well catch is just a summer breeze
Let me close my eyes for a second
See if I can stay right here, and
Let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive by
And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here
But I dont, I just sit under this tree
And Im in Tennessee
When the pond is gone and Eloise floats away
I find myself staring at the same old day
I need to go back, back to where I feel so free
Well, it looks like Im going back to Tennessee
I let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive by
And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here
But I dont, I just sit under this tree
Just me and Eloise
And Im in Tennessee |
Heres to the tour that taught me that your real friends really dont care about the he said/she said. Heres to the moments when weve forgotten all about the things that scare us, the things were insecure about, and in spite of them, we jumped around together under flashing lights, fireworks, and confetti.
To the times I learned, by watching you sing along to every song, that my greatest triumph in life has been finding the ones who like me for me. And that even in your worst times, they can see the best in you.
Heres to the musical family I get to share the stage with and all the things theyve sacrificed in their lives to be able to sing, play, and dance as well as they do. Heres to our extraordinary crew and the days they spend away from the ones they love so that we can stand under the lights and play for you. Heres to the people who work at these stadiums and help clean up the glitter on the floor after the party.
Heres to getting smarter and harder in the nick of time, but still remaining delicate enough to care deeply for the ones you can trust, and brave enough to stay when its hard or its wrong or were making mistakes. Heres to life teaching us lessons, and us learning, growing, dancing, and changing together. Everything Ive learned about a reputation and how little it really means when defined by those who do not know you, Ive learned from the fans whose spirits lit up these stadiums.
Thanks to you, Im doing better than I ever was.
Love,
Taylor |
You are somebody that I dont know
But youre takin shots at me like its Patrón
And Im just like, damn, its 7 AM
Say it in the street, thats a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet, thats a cop-out
And Im just like, Hey, are you okay?
And I aint tryna mess with your self-expression
But Ive learned a lesson that stressin and obsessin bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones
So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down, youre being too loud
And Im just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down
You are somebody that we dont know
But youre comin at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Makin that sign mustve taken all night
You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate
Cause shade never made anybody less gay
So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down, youre being too loud
And Im just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down
And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now we all got crowns
You need to calm down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down
Youre being too loud
And Im just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to just stop
Like can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down |
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin, but the jokes not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin all this love out here in the hall
I think Ive seen this film before
And I didnt like the ending
Youre not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now Im in exile, seein you out
I think Ive seen this film before
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I can see you starin, honey
Like hes just your understudy
Like youd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin on brеaking branches
Those eyеs add insult to injury
I think Ive seen this film before
And I didnt like the ending
Im not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown, now Im in exile, seein you out
I think Ive seen this film before
So Im leaving out the side door
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didnt even hear me out
You never gave a warning sign
All this time
I never learned to read your mind
I couldnt turn things around
Cause you never gave a warning sign
So many signs, so many signs
You didnt even see the signs
I think Ive seen this film before
And I didnt like the ending
Youre not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now Im in exile, seein you out
I think Ive seen this film before
So Im leavin out the side door
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didnt even hear me out
You never gave a warning sign
All this time
I never learned to read your mind
I couldnt turn things around
Cause you never gave a warning sign
You never gave a warning sign
So many times
So many times
I, I, oh |
Any day now, theyre talking war
I can see the look thats in your eyes
Theyre not talking a week or two
Oh, daddy can I go with you?
Oh, daddy can I go with you?
You pack a suitcase, take a picture from the wall
I always knew this time would come
When I ask how long you think youre going to be
You say, this crazy worlds come undone
Summers over and leaves begin to fall
And another winters on the way
I knew I wasnt going to take this very well
But Id give anything to have you here today
Everyday now theyre talking war
& I know this time is like its never been before
Were not talking about a week or two
Oh, daddy can I go with you?
Oh, daddy can I go with you?
Oh, daddy can I go with you? |
Writing the song Lover was one of those magical experiences
That you sometimes get to have as a songwriter
Um, I wrote it really quick in the middle of the night
As soon as I wrote it, I knew I wanted it to be the album title
And I knew that writing it kinda would depict the tone
Of the entire record
So it was a real catalyst for what this album turned into
And I wrote it alone, so I wanted to go in and play it for Jack Antonoff
Who I knew who would be the perfect person to produce it
And so I walked into the studio and I sat in the piano
And this is what happened
So it is, its basically
I dont see it as a piano
I think its that like, kinda of, dreamy, guitary, throwback
But not like camp throwback
So
We could leave the Christmas lights up til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And theres a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, take me home
Youre my, my, my, my lover...
Yeah, I love the walk down
I love the walk down
I was trying to figure out what the hell is gonna happen there
So the, so
My, my, my, my lover
We could let our friends crash on the couches
This is our place, we make the call
And Im highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
Ive loved you three summers now, honey, but I want em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
Youre my, my, my, my lover...
Okay and then I have this bridge thing
Thats um, essentially
Well, no I was
I did, I did it in this key
But it could be this thing like a
Key change
So it plays off of the walk down-ish
But its, this is the melody of it, it goes, its like
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hands
I take this magnetic force
Oh, fuck
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My hearts been borrowed and yours has been blue
Alls well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And youll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
Wait so goes like
And youll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, Ill save you a seat
So goes, and you, it goes
And youll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
My hearts been borrowed your hearts been blue
Alls well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And youll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, Ill save you a seat
You like? Yeah! Ive never, I never do these cords, but, I was really at the piano, like, hashing it out yesterday |
I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long, baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time the things got rocky, yeah
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?
Do you mean
Do you mean what you say?
When you say our love could last forever
Well, Id rather you be mean
Than love and lie
Id rather hear the truth
Than have to say goodbye
Id rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby dont you break my heart slow
I like the way youd hold me
Every night for so long, baby
I like the way youd sing to me
Every time the things got rocky, yeah
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?
Do you say
Do you say what you mean?
When you say our love could last forever
Oh, yeah, yeah
Youd run around
And lead me on forever
While I stay at home
Still thinking were together
I want our love to last forever
But Id rather you be mean
Than love and lie
Id rather hear the truth
Than have to say goodbye
And Id rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby dont you break my heart slow
Now baby dont you break my heart
Slow |
This aint for the best
My reputations never been worse, so
You must like me for me...
Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?
Phone lights up my nightstand in the black
Come here, you can meet me in the back
Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of the fun things we could do
Cause I like you
This aint for the best
My reputations never been worse, so
You must like me for me…
Yeah, I want you
We cant make any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Cause I know that its delicate
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Cause I know that its delicate
Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it?
Isnt it delicate?
Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it?
Isnt it delicate?
Third floor on the West Side, me and you
Handsome, youre a mansion with a view
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Long night, with your hands up in my hair
Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs
Stay here, honey, I dont wanna share
Yeah, I want you
We cant make any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Cause I know that its delicate
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Cause I know that its delicate
Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it?
Isnt it delicate?
Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it?
Isnt it delicate?
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Cause I know that its delicate, delicate
Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it?
Isnt it delicate?
Isnt it? Isnt it? Isnt it?
Isnt it delicate? |
Betty, I wont make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom, but
I think its cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
When I passed your house
Its like I couldnt breathe
You heard the rumors from Inez
You cant believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go straight to hell
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust mе
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
Im only seventeen, I dont know anything
But I know I miss you
Bеtty, I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds, you know that
Plus, I saw you dance with him
You heard the rumors from Inez
You cant believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go straight to hell
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
Im only seventeen, I dont know anything
But I know I miss you
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you when she pulled up like
A figment of my worst intentions
She said James, get in, lets drive
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long
Betty, Im here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But its finally sinkin in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when
You see my face again
The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you
So I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Will you have me? Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch
In front of all your stupid friends?
If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?
Im only seventeen, I dont know anything
But I know I miss you
Standing in your cardigan
Kissin in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
You know I miss you |
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
Im not the first to know
Theres just no getting over you
You know Im just a fool whos willing
To sit around and wait for you
But, baby, cant you see
Theres nothing else for me to do?
Im hopelessly devoted to you
But now theres nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
Im out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying, Fool, forget him
My heart is saying, Dont let go
Hold on till the end
And thats what I intend to do
Im hopelessly devoted to you
But now theres nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
Im out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you |
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ahh
And you heard about me, ooh
I got some big enemies
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation, ah
And I heard about you, ooh
You like the bad ones, too
Now well when I was young, we connected
When we were a little bit older, both done
I got issues and chips on both of my shoulders
Reputation precedes me and rumours are knee deep
The truth is its easier to ignore it, believe me
I made some mistakes and made some choices, thats hard to deny
After the storm something was born on the Fourth of July
Ive passed days without fun, this end game is the one
With four words on the tip of my tongue, never say it
I dont lose you, I dont wanna be
Just another ex-love, you dont wanna see
I dont wanna miss you
Like the other girls do
I dont wanna hurt you, I just wanna be
Walking on the beach with you right next to me
I know what they all say, yeah
But I aint tryna play
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ahh
And you heard about me, ooh
I got some big enemies
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation, ah
And I heard about you, ooh
You like the bad ones, too
I hit you like bang, we tried to forget it, but we just couldnt
And I buried hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put em
Reputation precedes me, they told you Im crazy
I swear I dont love the drama, it loves me
And I cant let you go, your handprints on my soul
Its like your eyes are bigger, its like your body is gold
Youve been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks
So heres the truth from my own lips
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game |

Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobble stones
When you are young they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young they assume you know nothing
Isn’t anyone trying to find me?
Somebody come take me home
I knew you, dancing in your Levi’s
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you, hand under my sweater, baby kiss it better
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favourite
It’s a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won’t you take me by the hand take me somewhere new
I don’t know who you are, but I
I’m with you, I’m with you, ooh
Why is everything so confusing?
Am I out of my mind?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobble stones
When you are young they assume you know nothing |
Lyrics from Snippet
I tapped in your window on your darkest night
The shape of you was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay, but I stay anyway
If I wouldve known how many pieces youve had crumbled into
I at them, babe
Are we really gonna talk about |
Im 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 Ive read you should never leave a fight unresolved
Thats when you came in wearing a football helmet
And said okay, lets talk
And I said
Stay, stay, stay
Ive been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that its funny when Im mad, mad, mad
So I think that its best if we both stay
Before you Id only dated self-indulgent takers
Who took all of their problems out on me
But you carry my groceries and now Im always laughing
And I love you because you have given me no choice but to
Stay, stay, stay
Ive been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that its funny when Im mad, mad, mad
So I think that its best if we both 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 didnt leave
Its been occurring to me
Id like to hang out with you for my whole life
Ho, hey, ho, hey
So show your family
All the blood that I would bleed
I dont know where I belong
I dont know where I went wrong
But I can write a song
I belong with you
You belong with me
Youre my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
Youre my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
Youre my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
So please, please
Stay, stay, stay
Ill be loving you for quite some time
No one else is gonna love me when I get mad, mad, mad
So I think that its best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay
Ive been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that its funny when Im mad, mad, mad
So I think that its best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay
Ive been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that its funny when Im mad, mad, mad
So I think that its best if we both stay |
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my Gosh, look at that face
You look like my next first date
Loves a game, that we play
No money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Aint it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, lets be friends
Im dying to see how this one ends
Grab your backpack and my hand
I can make the bad days good for a weekend
So its gonna be forever
Or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over
If it all was worth the pain
Got a long list of some others
Theyll tell you Im to blame
Cause you know I love the haters
And you love the game
Cause were young and were reckless
Well run this way too far
Itll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of some others
Theyll tell you Im to blame
But Ive got a blank space, baby
And Ill write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty eyes
Youre the King, baby, Im your Queen
Find out what we want
Be that way for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
Now Im crying perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
Oh my Gosh, who is she?
I get lost on jealousy
But youll come back each time you leave
Cause, darling, Its a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So its gonna be forever
Or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over
If it all was worth the pain
Got a long list of some others
Theyll tell you Im to blame
Cause you know I love the haters
And you love the game
Cause were young and were reckless
Well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of some others
Theyll tell you Im to blame
But Ive got a blank space, baby
And Ill write your name
So its gonna be forever
Or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over
If it all was worth the pain
Got a long list of some others
Theyll tell you Im to blame
Cause you know I love the haters
And you love the game
Cause were young and were reckless
Well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of some others
Theyll tell you Im to blame
But Ive got a blank space, baby
And Ill write your name |
Hey, dont write yourself off yet
Its only in your head, you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
Dont you worry what they tell themselves when youre away
It just takes some time, little girl, youre in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Hey, you know theyre all the same
You know youre doing better on your own
So dont buy in love right now
Just be yourself, it doesnt matter if its good enough for someone else
It just takes some time, little girl, youre in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright
Hey, dont write yourself off yet
Its only in your head, you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best, do everything you can
Dont you worry what their bitter hearts are gonna say
It just takes some time, little girl, youre in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright |
I know that Im a handful, baby, uh
I know I never think before I jump
Youre the kind of guy the ladies
Theres a lot of cool chicks out there
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And troubles gonna follow where I go
And theres a lot of cool chicks
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that youll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Im the only one of me
Baby, thats the fun of me
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Youre the only one of you
Baby, thats the fun of you
And I promise that nobodys gonna love you like me
I know I tend to make it about me
I know you never get just what you see
But I will never bore you, baby
And theres a lot of lame guys out there
And when we had that fight out in the rain
You ran after me and called my name
I never wanna see you walk away
And theres a lot of lame guys out there
Cause one of these things is not like the others
Livin in winter, I am your summer
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that youll never find another like
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Im the only one of me
Let me keep you company
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Youre the only one of you
Baby, thats the fun of you
I promise that nobodys gonna love you like me
Girl, there aint no I in team
But you know there is a me
Strike the band up, 1, 2, 3
And I promise that youll never find another like me
Boy, there aint no I in team
But ya know there is a me
And you cant spell awesome without me
I promise that youll never find another like
Me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Im the only one of me

I promise that nobodys gonna love you like me |

Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesnt exist because it never happened. You dont get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world. Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009. |
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you Ill be here forever
Said Ill always be your friend
Took an oath, Imma stick it out to the end
Now that its raining more than ever
Know that well still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
You have my heart
And well never be worlds apart
I may be in magazines
But youll still be my star
Baby, ‘cause in the dark
You cant see shiny cars
And thats when you need me there
With you Ill always share
Because
When the sun shine, well shine together
Told you Ill be here forever
Said Ill always be your friend
Took an oath, Imma stick it out till the end
Now that its raining more than ever
Know that well still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella |
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 fuss, 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
You find yourself at my door
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 fuss, 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
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, last time Im asking you
Last time Im asking you this
This is the last time I’m asking you, last time Im asking you
Last time Im asking you this |
Love Story
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
Im 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 dont go,
You Belong With Me
Cant you could see that Im the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why cant 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
Our Song
I was walking up the front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way
To my lovin bed
I almost didnt notice all the roses
And the note that said
Mean
Someday, Ill be living in a big old city
And all youre ever gonna be is mean
Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me
And all youre ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You called me up again tonight, but
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This time, Im telling you, Im 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
I Knew You Were Trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So, shame on me now
Flew me to places Id 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 Id never been
And now Im lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh-oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh-oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Red
Losing him was blue like Id never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like
Trying to know somebody you never met
All Too Well
Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
Were dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, you were there, you 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
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Red
And thats why hes spinning round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Why hes spinning round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red |
I know that Im a handful, baby, uh
I know I never think before I jump
And you’re the kind of guy the ladies want
And theres a lot of cool chicks out there
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And troubles gonna follow where I go
And there’s a lot of cool chicks
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that youll never find another like

This song is about a girl who had a dream and followed it
And I know from living in this town for so many years
That theres a lot of girls out there in the audience tonight
With a lot of dreams in their head
And this song goes out to you, you alright? Here we go
She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there
That shed be discovered someday
So she belted it, she hit the high notes fearlessly
Oh she melted them, as she brought them to their feet
She was a big star at Banana Joes bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said if you work hard to get where you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight
She was a big star
She made the local cable shows
Where the camera fell in love with her face
After a couple of weekends
The groupies were crawling all over the place
She signed autographs like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt
And in the aftermath, that small time town was hers
She was a
Big star at Banana Joes bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said if you work hard to get where you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight
She was a big star
She doesnt care anymore
That her high school girlfriends put her down
The only thought she entertains
Is where they are and where she is now
Everybody
Her old neighbors swear theyre certain she slept her way to the top
She knows you dont get where youre going
Unless you got something they aint got
So she sings tonight to 20,000 plus
And the young girls scream out loud for Miss Taylor Swift
Man that could be us, she was a
Big star at Banana Joes bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said if you work hard to get where you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight
She was a big star
Look who showed up
Happy birthday, Kenny Chesney
I love you, Nashville
We love you, thank you, Taylor |
You stand with your hand on your waistline
Its a scene and were out here in plain sight
I can hear them whisper as we pass by
Its a bad sign, its a bad sign
Something happens when everybody finds out
See the vultures circling dark clouds
Loves a fragile little flame
It could burn out, it could burn out
Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes and guns
They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
We run, we run
Cause baby, I know places we wont be found
And theyll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
Yeah, I know places
Lights flash and we run for the fences
Let them say what they want, we wont hear it
Loose lips sink ships all the damn time
Not this time, not this time
Just grab my hand and dont ever drop it, my love
They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
We run, we run
Baby, I know places we wont be found
And theyll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
I know places
They take their shots, were bulletproof
And you know for me, its always you
In the dead of night, your eyes so green
And I know for you, I know for you
I know for you, its always me
Baby, I know places we wont be found
And theyll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
I know places
I know places we can hide
I know places we can hide |
To the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet, thats my stuff, yes, I bought it
Please dont touch
Keep talking and yes, thats fine
Could you walk and talk at the same time?
And its my name thats on the tag
Come in with your bags, let me call you a cab
Standing in the front yard, telling me how Im such a fool
How Im never gonna find a man like you, got me twisted
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, hell be here in a minute, baby
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So dont you, ever for a second, get to thinking
Youre irreplaceable
So, go ahead and get gone
Call up that chick and see if shes home
Oops, I bet you thought that I didnt know
Whatd you think I was putting you out for?
Cause you were untrue, hauling her around in the truck that I bought you
Baby, drop them keys, hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard, telling me how Im such a fool
Talking about, how Im never gonna find a man like you
Got me twisted
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, hell be here in a minute, baby
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So dont you, ever for a second, get to thinking
Youre irreplaceable |
I remember the eyes
Of the kid in the crowd
Who cut me down to size
Realizing is crying out loud
For every kid on stage
Theres a kid in the crowd |

There you are
Standin there like you don’t know what to say
And I move like this
Here I am, racing myself, I wanna know whats coming now, what a waste
Well all of that time, I thought you were mine
Was I just kidding myself?
For letting it go, and loving you so, dont you dare tell me not to look at you like that
Gonna look at you like that, I’m gonna hang my head and turn my back, to your sneak attack, and if its the last thing that I do, Im gonna make this hard on you while I, look at you like that
Wont you say, that we can still be friends
It doesnt work that way
And dont you dare think, that a pack of all my tears can take that
Crying out when Im alone
Doing right here, Im crying right now, you can watch me crumble down, that’s for breaking my heart, so baby don’t stop, thinking you could ask me not to look at you like, that
Gonna look at you like that, Im gonna hang my head and turn my back, to your sneak attack, and if it’s the last thing that I do, Im gonna make this hard on you while I, look at you like that
Dont you tell me to be strong, and make it harder than it has to be, after you dont call, and remember what you’ve done to me
Cause Im gonna look at you like that, gonna hang my head and turn my back, to your sneak attack, and if its the last thing that I do, after what you put me through, Im gonna have to let you know,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
Gonna look at you like that
Look at you, Look at you, Look at you, like that
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.. |
All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around
Ive been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And its taken me this long baby but I figured you out
And youre thinking well be fine again
But not this time around
You dont have to call anymore
I wont pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Dont wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that youre sorry
But I dont believe you, baby, like I did before
Youre not sorry, no, no
Youre looking so innocent
I might believe you if I didnt know
Couldve loved you all my life if you didnt leave me waiting in the cold
Youve got your share of secrets
And Im tired of being last to know
And now youre asking me to listen
Cause its worked each time before
But you dont have to call anymore
I wont pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Dont wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that youre sorry
But I dont believe you, baby, like I did before
Youre not sorry, no
Youre not sorry, no
You had me crawling for you, honey
And it never wouldve gone away, no
You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade
Dont wanna think about it
Dont wanna talk about it
Im just so sick about it
Cant believe its ending this way
Im so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just cant do without ya
Wont you tell me, is this fair?
Is this the way its really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Shouldve known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
Its breaking my heart to watch you go around
Cause I know that youre living a lie
But thats okay, baby
Cause in time you will find
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around
Comes around, comes all the way back around
You dont have to call anymore
I wont pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Dont wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that youre sorry
But I dont believe you, baby, like I did before
Youre not sorry, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You spend your nights alone
And she never comes home
And when you call her up, all you gets a busy tone
And shes doing to you, what you did to me
A tale as old as time
Boy, you got what you deserved |

It was painted red, the stripe was white
It was 18 feet from bow to stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love, and made for the water
Ran her for years, until the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood will never be forgotten
It was just an old plywood boat
75 Johnson and an electric choke
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
I cant replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
I would make it whine
Hed say, You cant beat the way a old wood boat rides
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When Daddy let me drive
Just an old half ton short bed Ford
My uncle bought new in 64
Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
A couple burnt valves and he had it going
Hed let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip, wed haul trash off of Thigpen Road
Id sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
I cant replace the way it made me feel and
I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
He would say a little slower, girl
Youre doing just fine
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When Daddy let me drive
Soon Ill be grown up
With daughters of my own
I let them drive my old jeep
Across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day theyll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile
And say
It was just an old worn out jeep
Rusty old floor boards
Hot on my feet
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
I cant replace the way it made me feel
And hed say
Steer it left, and turn it right
Straighten up girl now, youre doing just fine
Just a little valley by the river where wed ride
But I was high on a mountain
When Daddy let me drive
Oh, he let me drive
Oh, he let me drive
Its just an old plywood boat
With a 75 johnson
And electric choke |
White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin, youre on your tippy toes
Creepin around like no one knows
Think youre so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Dont say thank you or please
I do what I want when Im wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So youre a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just cant get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
Im that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
Im the bad guy
Im the bad guy
I want your love, and your lovers revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love, and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Im a bad guy
Im the bad guy
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you dont
Own me, Ill let you play the role
Ill be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she wont sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
Shell pity the men I know
So youre a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just cant get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
Im that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
Im the bad guy
Im the bad guy
Im the bad guy
Im the bad guy
I want your love, and your lovers revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love, and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad romance
Im a bad guy
Im the bad guy
Cause, baby, now weve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what youve done
Cause, baby, now weve got bad blood
Cause, baby, now weve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what youve done
Cause, baby, now weve got bad blood
Youre the bad guy |
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 sisters house
And youve still got it
In your drawer, even now
Oh, your sweet disposition
And my wide-eyed gaze
Were 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 its long gone and
That magics not here no more
And I might be okay, but Im not fine at all
Oh, oh, oh
Causе there we arе 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 mothers telling stories bout you on the tee-ball team
You tell me bout your past, thinking your future was me
And I know its 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
Were dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah
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
Im a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Cause I remember it all, all, all
Too well
Time wont fly, its like Im paralyzed by it
Id like to be my old self again
But Im 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 cant 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 youve 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 |
You are somebody that I dont know
But youre takin shots at me like its Patrón
And Im just like, damn , its 7 AM
Say it in the street, thats a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet, thats a cop-out
And Im just like, Hey, are you okay?
And I aint tryna mess with your self-expression
But I learned a lesson that stressin and obsessin bout somebody else is no fun, yeah
And snakes and stones never broke my bones
So oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You need to calm down, youre being too loud
And Im just like oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down
You are somebody that we dont know
But youre comin at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark age
Just makin that sign mustve taken all night
You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate, yeah
Cause shade never made anybody less gay
So oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You need to calm down, youre being too loud
And Im just like oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on his gown?
You need to calm down
And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now we all got crowns
You need to calm down
You need to calm down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You need to calm down, youre being too loud
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You need to just stop, like can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down
You need to calm down
Dont step on our gowns, you need to calm down |
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
Get drunk, but its not enough
Cause the morning comes and youre not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandeliers still flickering here
Cause I cant pretend its okay when its not
Its death by a thousand cuts
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if itll be alright
They say, I dont know
And what once was ours is no ones now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
So if the storys over, why am I still writing pages?
Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
Get drunk, but its not enough
Cause the morning comes and youre not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandeliers still flickering here
Cause I cant pretend its okay when its not
Its death by a thousand cuts
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didnt touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now Im searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didnt take up
Gave you too much, but it wasnt enough
But Ill be alright, its just a thousand cuts
Get drunk, but its not enough
Cause youre not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandeliers still flickering here
Cause I cant pretend its okay when its not
No, its not
Its death by a thousand cuts
Part of me that you didnt touch
My body, my love, my trust
But it wasnt enough, it wasnt enough, no, no
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if itll be alright
They say, I dont know |
Im doing good, Im on some new shit
Been saying yes instead of no
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didnt though
I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know the greatest films of all time were never made
I guess you never know, never know
And if you wanted me, you really shouldve showed
And if you never bleed, youre never gonna grow
And its alright now
But we were something, dont you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishеs came true
It wouldve been you
In my dеfense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it wouldve been fun
If you wouldve been the one
I have this dream youre doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know the greatest loves of all time are over now
I guess you never know, never know
And its another day waking up alone
But we were something, dont you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It wouldve been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it wouldve been fun
If you wouldve been the one
I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?
We were something, dont you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it wouldve been sweet
If it couldve been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it wouldve been fun
If you wouldve been the one |
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
You ran off the plane
That July ninth, the beat of my heart it jumped through my shirt
Hope you still feel my arms
Now Ill go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is I dont know how to be something you miss
I never thought wed have a last kiss
I never imagined wed end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
I do remember the swing in your step
The life of the party, youre showing off again
And Id roll my eyes and then youd pull me in
Im not much for dancing, but for you I did
Because you love my handshake, meeting your father
Said he loved how I walk with my hands in my pockets
How Id kiss you when you were in the middle of saying something
I pray that you still miss those rude interruptions
Now Ill go sit on the floor, wearing your clothes
All that I know is that I dont know how to be something you miss
I never thought wed have a last kiss
I never imagined wed end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
So Ill watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And Ill feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And Ill keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope its nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines and its a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
I never planned on making you cry
But not letting go would be living a lie
So Ill go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is I dont know how to be something you miss
I never thought wed have a last kiss
I never imagined wed 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... |
Lembrei desse sentimento
Gritando dentro de nós
Éramos todos meninos
Em cada um vivia uma paixão
Como uma cena de um filme
Vencemos pesadelos enfrentando os dragões
Criados por nossos medos
Fruto da imaginação
De frente a uma nova era
Na onda de uma canção
Nós construímos a história
Mente, alma e coração
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 pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
De frente a uma nova era
Na onda de uma canção
Nós construímos a história
Mente, alma e coração
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
Im 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 that 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
Lembrei do momento
Que fiz promessa pra nós dois
Pintando o nosso destino
Puro e simples, pleno e sem fim
Que fosse assim sem um goodbye
Fosse para sempre um cheguei
Os sonhos que construímos
Me vi feliz, eu te achei
Será muito mais que achar
Será muito além de pensar
Long live the walls we crashed through
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
And I was screaming long live
All the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, Im not afraid
Singing long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long long live the look and your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered |
I would be complex, I would be cool
Theyd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
And that would be okay for me to do
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you
Id be a fearless leader
Id be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
Whats that like?
Im so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if Id get there quicker if I was a man
And Im so sick of them coming at me again
Cause if I was a man, then Id be the man
Id be the man
Id be the man
Theyd say I hustled, put in the work
They wouldnt shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing, or if I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves
And they would toast to me, oh
Let the players play
Id be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez
Im so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if Id get there quicker if I was a man
And Im so sick of them coming at me again
Cause if I was a man, then Id be the man
Id be the man
Id be the man, yeah
Whats it like to brag about raking in dollars
And getting bitches and models?
And its all good if youre bad
Its okay if youre mad
If I was out flashing my dollars
Id be a bitch, not a baller
Theyd paint me out to be bad
So, its okay that Im mad
Im so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if Id get there quicker if I was a man
You know that Im so sick of them coming at me again
Cause if I was a man, then Id be the man
Id be the man, yeah
Yeah, Id be the man, yeah
Oh, Id be the man
Id be the man
If I was a man
Then Id be the man |
You cant start a fire
You cant start a fire without a spark
This guns for hire
Even if were just dancing in the dark
This guns for hire
Even if were just dancing in the dark
Weve gotta hold on to what weve got
It doesnt make a difference if we make it or not
Weve got each other and thats a lot
For love well give it a shot
Whoa, were half way there
Whoa, livin on a prayer
Take my hand and well make it, I swear
Whoa, livin on a prayer
Livin on a prayer |
You turn your dial to 93.7
Broadway acts like hes 11
Self-proclaimed
Says hes the worst mistake ever to land in Michigan
Im just a singer of country songs
Just trying to play guitar and not do no wrong
But if you listen to just one thing I say
You should turn Z93 on
Broadways Electric Barnyard
I sing a song called Tim McGraw
Request it and theyll play it all day long
I sing in stations all day long
But theres nothing like when youre on
The Electric Barnyard
Daisys from a trailer park in St. Louis
Growing up not wearing any shoes
Prettiest hillbilly girl youll see all day
Growing up the other trailer park girls
Couldnt hide their jealousy
Because she had the only phone for miles
Now she uses it as a DJ
So you should turn Z93 on
Broadways Electric Barnyard
I sing a song called Tim McGraw
Request it and theyll play it all day long
I sing in stations all day long
But theres nothing like when youre on |
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, Ill never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Dont leave me here alone
But all thats dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
Youll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and Ill be safe and sound
Dont you dare look out your window darling
Everythings on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the musics gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
Youll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and Ill be safe and sound
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Ha La
Ha La
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Ha La
Ha La
Just close your eyes
Youll be alright
Come morning light
You and Ill be safe and sound
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh |
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
Im not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die
I dont belong and, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
Im setting off, but not without my muse
What should be over burrowеd under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
Ivе come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
Tell me what are my words worth
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die
I dont belong and, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
Im setting off, but not without my muse
I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
Cause I havent moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die
I dont belong and, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
Im setting off, but not without my muse
No, not without you
No, not without you |

Your love is a secret Im hoping, dreaming, dying to keep |
Salt air and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Oh, whispers of Are you sure?
Never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin I could write my name on it
Will you call when youre back at school?
I remember thinkin I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case youd call
And say, Meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us
Cause you werent mine to lose
You werent mine to lose, no
Cause I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
You were never mine
You were never mine
Never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said Get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case youd call?
Back when I was livin for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Meet me behind the mall
And then canceled my plans just in case youd call?
Back when I was livin for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Remember when I pulled up and said Get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case youd call?
Back when I was livin for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Meet me behind the mall
Haha, I loved that |
