Fortnight 'Nother fortnight lost in America

Taylor Swift (feat. Post Malone) Move to Florida, buy the car you want
But it won't start up 'til I touch, touch, touch you
[Verse 1]
I was supposed to be sent away
But they forgot to come and get me
I was a functioning alcoholic
'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic
All of this to say I hope you're okay
But you're the reason
And no one here's to blame
But what about your quiet treason?

[Chorus]
And for a fortnight there, we were forever
Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather
Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

[Verse 2]
All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless
February
I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were
temporary
And I love you, it's ruining my life
I love you, it's ruining my life
I touched you for only a fortnight
I touched you, but I touched you

[Chorus]
And for a fortnight there, we were forever
Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather
Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her
And for a fortnight there, we were together
Run into you sometimes, comment on my sweater
Now you're at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors
My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him

[Bridge]
I love you, it's ruining my life
I love you, it's ruining my life
I touched you for only a fortnight
I touched you, I touched you
I love you, it's ruining my life
I love you, it's ruining my life
I touched you for only a fortnight
I touched you, I touched you

[Outro]
Thought of callin' ya, but you won't pick up
'Nother fortnight lost in America
Move to Florida, buy the car you want
But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me
Thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up
The Tortured Poets Department Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with
Taylor Swift me
But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave
[Verse 1] And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen
You left your typewriter at my apartment Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be
Straight from the tortured poets department 'Cause we're crazy
I think some things I never say So tell me, who else is gonna know me?
Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?" At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger
But you're in self-sabotage mode And put it on the one people put wedding rings on
Throwing spikes down on the road And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding
But I've seen this episode and still loved the show
Who else decodes you?
[Chorus]
[Chorus] Who's gonna hold you? (Who?)
And who's gonna hold you like me? Me
And who's gonna know you, if not me? Who's gonna know you? (Who?)
I laughed in your face and said Me
"You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith And you're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we'rе modern idiots" This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we're two idiots
And who's gonna hold you like me? Who's gonna hold you?

[Post-Chorus] [Post-Chorus]
Nobody Who's gonna hold you?
No-fucking-body Who's gonna hold you?
Nobody Who's gonna hold you?
Who's gonna hold you?
[Verse 2] Who's gonna hold you?
You smokеd, then ate seven bars of chocolate Who's gonna hold you?
We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist Who's gonna hold you?
I scratch your head, you fall asleep Gonna know you? Gonna troll you?
Like a tattooed golden retriever
But you awaken with dread [Outro]
Pounding nails in your head You left your typewriter at my apartment
But I've read this one where you come undone Straight from the tortured poets department
I chose this cyclone with you Who else decodes you?

[Chorus]
And who's gonna hold you like me?
(Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)
And who's gonna know you like me?
(Who's gonna know you?)
I laughed in your face and said
"You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we're modern idiots"
And who's gonna hold you like me?
(Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)

[Post-Chorus]
No-fucking-body
(Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)
Nobody
(Who's gonna hold you? Gonna know you? Gonna troll
you?)
Nobody

[Bridge]
My Boy Only Broke His Favorite Toys But I'm not
Taylor Swift I'm not, I'm not

[Verse 1]
Oh, here we go again
The voices in his head
Called the rain to end our days of wild
The sickest army doll
Purchased at the mall
Rivulets descend my plastic smile

[Pre-Chorus]
But you should've seen him when he first got me

[Chorus]
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh
I'm queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh
'Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night
I should've known it was a matter of time, oh, oh
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
There was a litany of reasons why
We could've playеd for keeps this time
I know I'm just repeating mysеlf
Put me back on my shelf
But first, pull the string
And I'll tell you that he runs
Because he loves me (He loves me)

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you should've seen him when he first saw me

[Chorus]
My boy (My boy), only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh
I'm queen (I'm queen), of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh
'Cause I knew too much, there was danger in the heat of
my touch
He saw forever, so he smashed it up, oh, oh
My boy (My boy), only breaks his favorite toys, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Once I fix me
He's gonna miss me
Once I fix me
He's gonna miss me

[Outro]
Just say when, I'd play again
He was my best friend down at the sandlot
I felt more when we played pretend
Than with all the Kens
'Cause he took me out of my box
Stole my tortured heart
Left all these broken parts
Told me I'm better off
Down Bad Fuck it if I can't have him
Taylor Swift
[Bridge]
[Verse 1] I loved your hostile takeovers
Did you really beam me up Encounters closer and closer
In a cloud of sparkling dust All your indecent exposures
Just to do experiments on? How dare you say that it's—
Tell me I was the chosen one I'll build you a fort on some planet
Showed me that this world is bigger than us Where they can all understand it
Then sent me back where I came from How dare you think it's romantic
Leaving me safe and stranded
[Pre-Chorus] 'Cause fuck it, I was in love
For a moment, I knew cosmic love So fuck you if I can't have us
'Cause fuck it, I was in love
[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym [Chorus]
Everything comes out teenage petulance Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym (Cryin' at the gym)
"Fuck it if I can't have him" Everything comes out teenage petulance
"I might just die, it would make no difference" "Fuck it if I can't have him" (Can't have him)
Down bad, wakin' up in blood "I might just die, it would make no difference"
Starin' at the sky, come back and pick me up Down bad, wakin' up in blood (Wakin' up in blood)
Fuck it if I can't have us Starin' at the sky, come back and pick me up
I might just not get up, I might stay Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up, I might stay
[Post-Chorus]
Down bad [Post-Chorus]
Fuck it if I can't have him Down bad (Like I lost my twin)
Down bad Fuck it if I can't have him (I'm down bad)
Fuck it if I can't have him Down bad (Wavin' at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
[Verse 2]
Did you take all my old clothes [Outro]
Just to leave me here, naked and alone Like I lost my twin
In a field in my same old town Fuck it if I can't have him
That somehow seems so hollow now? Down bad (Wavin' at the ship)
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about Fuck it if I can't have him
The existence of you

[Pre-Chorus]
For a moment, I was heavenstruck

[Chorus]
Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym (Cryin' at the gym)
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him" (Fuck it if I can't have him)
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, wakin' up in blood (Wakin' up in blood)
Starin' at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up, I might stay

[Post-Chorus]
Down bad (Like I lost my twin)
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad (Wavin' at the ship)
So Long, London
Taylor Swift [Verse 3]
You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
[Intro] I died on the altar waitin' for the proof
So (So) long (Long), London (London) You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
So (So) long (Long), London (London) And I'm just getting color back into my face
So (So) long (Long), London (London) I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place for

[Verse 1] [Chorus]
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist So (So) long (Long), London (London)
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift Had (Had) a (A) good (Good) run (Run)
Pulled him in tighter each time he was driftin' away A moment (Moment) of warm sun (Sun)
My spine split from carrying us up the hill But I'm (I'm) not (Not) the (The) one (One)
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill So (So) long (Long), London (London)
I stopped tryna make him laugh, stopped tryna drill the Stitches (Stitches) undone (Undone)
safe Two (Two) graves (Graves) one gun (Gun)
You'll (You'll) find (Find) someone
[Chorus]
Thinkin', "How much sad did you think I had
Did you think I had in me?"
Oh, the tragedy
So long, London
You'll find someone

[Verse 2]
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
I founded the club she's heard great things about
I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath
I stoppеd CPR, after all, it's no use
The spirit was gonе, we would never come to
And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for
free

[Chorus]
For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I'll find someone

[Bridge]
And you say I abandoned the ship
But I was going down with it
My white-knuckle dying grip
Holding tight to your quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
Every day of a love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air
When you're not sure if he wants to be there

[Chorus]
So how much sad did you think I had
Did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you
Think I'd go 'fore I'd self-implode?
'Fore I'd have to go be free?
But Daddy I Love Him I'll tell you something right now
Taylor Swift I'd rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitchin' and
[Verse 1] moanin'
I forget how the West was won I'll tell you something 'bout my good name
I forget if this was ever fun It's mine alone to disgrace
I just learned these people only raise you I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's
To cage you clothing
Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best
Clutchin' their pearls, sighing, "What a mess" [Bridge]
I just learned these people try and save you God save the most judgmental creeps
'Cause they hate you Who say they want what's best for me
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see
[Pre-Chorus] Thinkin' it can change the beat
Too high a horse Of my heart when he touches me
For a simple girl And counteract the chemistry
To rise above it And undo the destiny
They slammed the door You ain't gotta pray for me
On my whole world Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy
The one thing I wanted If all you want is gray for me
[Chorus] Then it's just white noise, and it's just my choice
Now I'm runnin' with my dress unbuttoned
Scrеamin', "But, Daddy, I love him" [Verse 3]
I'm havin' his baby There's a lot of people in town that I
No, I'm not, but you should see your faces Bestow upon my fakest smiles
I'm tellin' him to floor it through thе fences Scandal does funny things to pride, but brings lovers
No, I'm not coming to my senses closer
I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want We came back when the heat died down
Went to my parents and they came around
[Verse 2] All the wine moms are still holdin' out, but fuck 'em, it's
Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid over
Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
Growin' up precocious sometimes means [Chorus]
Not growin' up at all Now I'm dancin' in my dress in the sun and
He was chaos, he was revelry Even my daddy just loves him
Bedroom eyes like a remedy I'm his lady
Soon enough, the elders had convened And, oh my God, you should see your faces
Down at the city hall Time, doesn't it give some perspective?
And, no, you can't come to the wedding
[Pre-Chorus] I know it's crazy, but he's the one I want
"Stay away from her" [Post-Chorus]
The saboteurs I'll tell you something right now
Protested too much You ain't gotta pray for me
Lord knows the words Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy
We never heard (He was chaos, he was revelry)
Just screeching tires and true love If all you want is gray for me
[Chorus] Then it's just white noise, and it's my choice
And I'm runnin' with my dress unbuttoned [Outro]
Screamin', "But, Daddy, I love him" Screamin', "But, Daddy, I love him"
I'm havin' his baby I'm having his baby
No, I'm not, but you should see your faces Fresh Out The Slammer
I'm tellin' him to floor it through the fences Taylor Swift
No, I'm not coming to my senses
I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want [Intro]
Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you
[Post-Chorus]
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be
to
(Fresh out the slammer, oh)

[Verse 1]
Another summer takin' cover, rolling thunder
He don't understand me
Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter
He was with her in dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Gray and blue and fights and tunnels
Handcuffed to the spell I was under
For just one hour of sunshine
Years of labor, locks, and ceilings
In the shade of how he was feeling
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[Chorus]
Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you
Frеsh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be
to
(Frеsh out the slammer, oh)

[Verse 2]
Camera flashes, welcome bashes, get the matches
Toss the ashes off the ledge
As I said in my letters, now that I know better
I will never lose my baby again

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it
Watch me daily disappearing
For just one glimpse of his smile
All those nights, he kept me goin'
Swirled you into all of my poems
Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

[Chorus]
Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin'

[Bridge]
To the house where you still wait up and that porch light
gleams (Gleams)
To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams
And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's
at stake here
At the park where we used to sit on children's swings
Wearing imaginary rings

[Outro]
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time
Florida!!! It's one hell of a drug
Taylor Swift (feat. Florence + The Machine) It's one hell of a drug
Love left me like this and I don't want to exist
[Verse 1] So take me to Florida
You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too
They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true [Pre-Chorus]
And my friends all smell like weed or little babies Little did you know your home's really only
And this city reeks of driving myself crazy A town you're just a guest in (Florida)
So you work your life away just to pay
[Pre-Chorus] For a time-share down in Destin (Take me to Florida)
Little did you know your home's really only Little did you know your home's really only
A town you're just a guest in The town you'll get arrested (Florida)
So you work your life away just to pay So you pack your life away just to wait out
For a time-share down in Destin The shitstorm back in Texas

[Chorus] [Chorus]
Florida Florida
Is one hell of a drug Is one hell of a drug
Florida (Take me to) Florida
Can I use you up? Can I use you up?
Florida
[Verse 2] Is one hell of a drug
The hurricane with my name when it came Florida
I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away Go on, fuck me up
Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine
Well, me and my ghosts, wе had a hell of a time
Yes, I'm hauntеd, but I'm feeling just fine
All my girls got their lace and their crimes
And your cheating husband disappeared, well
No one asks any questions here
So I did my best to lay to rest
All of the bodies that have ever been on my body
And in my mind, they sink into the swamp
S that a bad thing to say in a song?

[Pre-Chorus]
Little did you know your home's really only
The town you'll get arrested
So you pack your life away just to wait out
The shitstorm back in Texas

[Chorus]
Florida
Is one hell of a drug
Florida
Can I use you up?

[Bridge]
I need to forget, so take me to Florida
I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable
At least the dolls are beautiful, fuck me up, Florida
I need to forget, so take me to Florida
I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable
What a crash, what a rush, fuck me up, Florida
Guilty as Sin?
Taylor Swift [Chorus]
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in
[Verse 1] my mind?
Drownin' in the Blue Nile One slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze
He sent me "Downtown Lights" Oh, what a way to die
I hadn't heard it in a while I keep recalling things we never did
My boredom's bone-deep Messy top-lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
This cage was once just fine Without ever touchin' his skin
Am I allowed to cry? How can I be guilty as sin?
I dream of crackin' locks
Throwin' my life to the wolves or the ocean rocks [Outro]
Crashin' into him tonight, he's a paradox He sent me "Downtown Lights"
I'm seeing visions I hadn't heard it in a while
Am I bad or mad or wise? Am I allowed to cry?

[Chorus]
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in
my mind?
One slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top-lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
Without ever touchin' his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?

[Verse 2]
I keep these longings lockеd
In lowercase, inside a vault
Somеone told me, "There's no such thing as bad
thoughts
Only your actions talk"
These fatal fantasies
Giving way to labored breath, takin' all of me
We've already done it in my head
If it's make-believe
Why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?

[Chorus]
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in
my mind?
One slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
My bed sheets are ablaze
I've screamed his name
Buildin' up like waves crashin' over my grave
Without ever touchin' his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?

[Bridge]
What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?
If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
I choose you and me religiously
Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the
Taylor Swift cobwebs
I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they
[Verse 1] all said?
The who's who of "Who's that?" is poised for the attack That I'll sue you if you step on my lawn
But my bare hands paved their paths That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong
You don't get to tell me about "sad" Put narcotics into all of my songs
And that's why you're still singin' along
[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanted me dead, you should've just said [Chorus]
Nothing makes me feel more alive So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your
street
[Chorus] Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your "Who's afraid of little old me?"
street I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream mean
"Who's afraid of little old me?" "Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
You should be Who's afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be
[Verse 2]
The scandal was contained [Post-Chorus]
The bullet had just grazed (You should be) You should be
At all costs, keep your good name (You should be) You should be
You don't get to tell me you feel bad 'Cause you lured me (You should be)
And you hurt me (You should be)
[Pre-Chorus] And you taught me
Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one morе joke
Then we could all just laugh until I cry [Outro]
You caged me and then you called me crazy
[Chorus] I am what I am 'cause you trained me
So I lеap from the gallows and I levitate down your So who's afraid of me?
street Who's afraid of little old me?
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream Who's afraid of little old me?
"Who's afraid of little old me?"
I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me
mean
"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
Who's afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be

[Post-Chorus]
(You should be) You should be
(You should be) You should be
You should be (You should be)
You should be (You should be)
You should be

[Bridge]
So tell me everything is not about me
But what if it is?
Then say they didn't do it to hurt me
But what if they did?
I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has
made me
You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they
raised me
I Can Fix Him (No I Really Can)
Taylor Swift

[Verse 1]
The smoke cloud billows out his mouth
Like a freight train through a small town
The jokes that he told across the bar
Were revolting and far too loud

[Chorus]
They shake their heads sayin', "God, help her"
When I tell 'em he's my man
But your good Lord doesn't need to lift a finger
I can fix him, no, really, I can
And only I can

[Verse 2]
The dopamine races through his brain
On a six-lane Texas highway
His hand so calloused from his pistol
Softly traces hearts on my face
And I could see it from a mile away
A perfect case for my certain skill set
He had a halo of the highest gradе
He just hadn't met me yеt

[Chorus]
They shake their heads sayin', "God, help her"
When I tell 'em he's my man
But your good Lord doesn't need to lift a finger
I can fix him, no, really, I can
And only I can

[Bridge]
Good boy, that's right, come close
I'll show you Heaven if you'll be an angel, all night
Trust me, I can handle me a dangerous man
No, really, I can

[Chorus]
They shook their heads sayin', "God, help her"
When I told 'em he's my man (I told 'em he's my man)
But your good Lord didn't need to lift a finger
I can fix him, no, really, I can (No, really, I can)
Woah, maybe I can't
loml It was legendary
Taylor Swift It was momentary
It was unnecessary
[Verse 1] Should've let it stay buried
Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled
flames [Chorus]
If we know the steps anyway? Oh, what a valiant roar
We embroidered the memories of the time I was away What a bland goodbye
Stitching, "We were just kids, babe" The coward claimed he was a lion
I said, "I don't mind, it takes time" I'm combing through the braids of lies
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed "I'll never leave," "Never mind"
I felt aglow like this Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
Never before and never since Your arson's match, your somber eyes
And I'll still see it until I die
[Chorus] You're the loss of my life
If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
You and I go from one kiss to getting married
Still alivе, killing time at the cemеtery
Never quite buried
In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
You low-down boy, you stand-up guy
You Holy Ghost, you told me I'm the love of your life
You said I'm the love of your life
About a million times

[Verse 2]
Who's gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the
winds of fate
And told me I reformed you?
When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out
to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
But I've felt a hole like this
Never before and ever since

[Chorus]
If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
What we thought was for all time was momentary
Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
Never quite buried
You cinephile in black and white
All those plot twists and dynamite
Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry
You said I'm the love of your life

[Bridge]
You shit-talked me under the table
Talkin' rings and talkin' cradles
I wish I could un-recall
How we almost had it all
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can't get out of bed
'Cause something counterfeit's dead?
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was
Taylor Swift chanting, "More"
I was grinnin' like I'm winnin'
[Verse 1] I was hittin' my marks
I can read your mind 'Cause I can do it with a broken heart
"She's having the time of her life" (One, two, three, four)
There in her glittering prime
The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every [Chorus]
night I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day
I can show you lies I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me (He avoids
(One, two, three, four) me), like the plague
I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it's an art
[Pre-Chorus] You know you're good when you can even do it with a
'Cause I'm a real tough kid broken heart
I can handle my shit
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" and I [Outro]
did You know you're good when you can even do it with a
Lights, camera, bitch, smile broken heart
Even when you wanna die You know you're good
He said he'd love me all his life And I'm good
But that life was too short 'Cause I'm miserable (Haha)
Breaking down, I hit the floor And nobody even knows
All the piеces of me shattered as the crowd was Ah, try and come for my job
chanting, "More"
I was grinnin' like I'm winnin'
I was hittin' my marks
'Cause I can do it with a broken heart
(One, two, three, four)

[Chorus]
I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day
I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the
plague
I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it's an art
You know you're good when you can even do it with a
broken heart

[Verse 2]
I can hold my breath
I've been doin' it since he left
I keep finding his things in drawers
Crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing
I'm sure I can pass this test
(One, two, three, four)

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm a real tough kid
I can handle my shit
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" and I
did
Lights, camera, bitch, smile
In stilettos for miles
He said he'd love me for all time
But that time was quite short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived The smallest man who ever lived
Taylor Swift

[Verse 1]
Was any of it true?
Gazing at me starry-eyed
In your Jehovah's Witness suit
Who the fuck was that guy?
You tried to buy some pills
From a friend of friends of mine
They just ghosted you
Now you know what it feels like

[Chorus]
And I don't even want you back, I just want to know
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

[Verse 2]
You hung me on your wall
Stabbed me with your push pins
In public, showed me off
Then sank in stoned oblivion
'Cause once your queen had come
You'd treat her likе an also-ran
You didn't measure up
In any measurе of a man

[Chorus]
And I don't even want you back, I just want to know
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

[Bridge]
Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
Were you writin' a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In fifty years, will all this be declassified?
And you'll confess why you did it and I'll say, "Good
riddance"
'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden
I would've died for your sins, instead, I just died inside
And you deserve prison, but you won't get time
You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars
You crashed my party and your rental car
You said normal girls were boring
But you were gone by the morning
You kicked out the stage lights, but you're still
performing

[Outro]
And in plain sight you hid
But you are what you did
And I'll forget you, but I'll never forgive
The Alchemy Baby, I'm the one to beat
Taylor Swift 'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
[Verse 1] Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
This happens once every few lifetimes These blokes warm the benches
These chemicals hit me like white wine We've been on a winning streak
What if I told you I'm back? He jokes that it's heroin, but this time with an "E"
The hospital was a drag 'Cause the sign on your heart
Worst sleep that I ever had Said it's still reserved for me
I circled you on a map Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm coming back so strong [Outro]
This happens once every few lifetimes
[Chorus] These chemicals hit me like white wine
So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby, I'm the one to beat
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy?

[Verse 2]
Hey, you, what if I told you we'rе cool?
That child's play back in school
Is forgiven under my rule
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm making a comeback to where I belong

[Chorus]
So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby, I'm the one to beat
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
These blokes warm the benches
We've been on a winning streak
He jokes that it's heroin, but this time with an "E"
'Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Bridge]
Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads
Beer stickin' to the floor, cheers chanted 'cause they said
"There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the
league"
Where's the trophy? He just comes runnin' over to me

[Chorus]
Touchdown
Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Clara Bow You've got edge, she never did
Taylor Swift The future's bright, dazzling"

[Verse 1]
"You look like Clara Bow
In this light, remarkable
All your life, did you know
You'd be picked like a rose?"

[Pre-Chorus]
"I'm not trying to exaggerate
But I think I might die if it happened
Die if it happened to me
No one in my small town
Thought I'd see the lights of Manhattan"

[Chorus]
"This town is fake, but you're the real thing
Breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory, give everything
Promise to be dazzling"

[Verse 2]
"You look like Stevie Nicks
In '75, the hair and lips
Crowd goes wild at her fingertips
Half moonshine, a full еclipse"

[Pre-Chorus]
"I'm not trying to exaggeratе
But I think I might die if I made it, die if I made it
No one in my small town thought I'd meet these suits in
L.A.
They all wanna say..."

[Chorus]
"This town is fake, but you're the real thing
Breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory, give everything
Promise to be dazzling
The crown is stained, but you're the real queen
Flesh and blood amongst war machines
You're the new god we're worshipping
Promise to be dazzling"

[Bridge]
Beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours
Demanding more
Only when your girlish glow flickers just so
Do they let you know
It's hell on earth to be heavenly
Them's the breaks, they don't come gently

[Outro]
"You look like Taylor Swift
In this light, we're lovin' it
The Black Dog That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming
Taylor Swift 'Cause tail between your legs, you're leavin'

[Verse 1] [Outro]
I am someone who until recent events I still can't believe it
You shared your secrets with 'Cause old habits die screaming
And your location, you forgot to turn it off
And so I watch as you walk
Into some bar called The Black Dog
And pierce new holes in my heart
You forgot to turn it off
And it hits me

[Chorus]
I just don't understand
How you don't miss me in The Black Dog
When someone plays "The Starting Line"
And you jump up, but she's too young to know this song
That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our
dreaming
Old habits die screaming

[Verse 2]
I move through the world with the heartbroken
My longings stay unspoken
And I may never open up thе way I did for you
And all of those best laid plans
You said I needed a bravе man
Then proceeded to play him
Until I believed it too
And it kills me

[Chorus]
I just don't understand
How you don't miss me in the shower
And remember how my rain-soaked body
Was shakin', do you hate me?
Was it hazing? For a cruel fraternity
I pledged and I still mean it
Old habits die screaming

[Bridge]
Six weeks of breathin' clean air
I still miss the smoke
Were you makin' fun of me
With some esoteric joke?
Now I wanna sell my house
And set fire to all my clothes
And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons
Even if I die screaming
And I hope you hear it

[Chorus]
And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog
When someone plays "The Starting Line"
And you jump up, but she's too young to know this song
imgonnagetyouback Say you got somebody, I'll say I got someone too
Taylor Swift Even if it's handcuffed, I'm leavin' here with you
Bygones will be bygone, eras fadin' into gray (Fading
[Intro] into gray)
Yeah We broke all the pieces, but still wanna play the game
(Oh)
[Verse 1] Told my friends I hate you, but I love you just the same
Lilac short skirt, the one that fits me like skin Pick your poison, babe, I'm poison either way
Did your research, you knew the price goin' in
And I'll tell you one thing, honey [Chorus]
I can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean Whether I'm gonna be your wife or
Standin' at the bar like something's funny, bubbly Gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet
Once you fix your face, I'm goin' in (Yeah) But I'm gonna get you back
Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
[Chorus] Take you back to my house, I haven't decided yet
Whether I'm gonna be your wife or But I'm gonna get you back
Gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back [Post-Chorus]
Whether I'm gonna curse you out or I, I hear the whispers in your eyes
Take you back to my house, I haven't decidеd yet I'll make you wanna think twice
But I'm gonna get you back You'll find that you were never not mine

[Post-Chorus] [Outro]
I, I hear thе whispers in your eyes I'm gonna get you back
I'll make you wanna think twice
You'll find that you were never not mine
(You're mine)

[Verse 2]
Small talk, big love, act like I don't care what you did
I'm an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the
ditch
Then ran and hid
And I'll tell you one thing, honey
I can take the upper hand and touch your body
Flip the script and leave you like a dumb house party
Or I might just love you 'til the end

[Chorus]
Whether I'm gonna be your wife or
Gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back
Whether I'm gonna flip you off or
Pull you into the closet, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back

[Post-Chorus]
I, I hear the whispers in your eyes
I'll make you wanna think twice
You'll find that you were never not mine
(You're mine)

[Bridge]
I can feel it coming, humming in the way you move
Push the reset button, we're becomin' something new
The Albatross Looks now more like an angel
Taylor Swift I'm the life you chose
And all this terrible danger
[Verse 1] (This terrible danger)
Wise men once said
"Wild winds are death to the candle" [Outro]
A rose by any other name is a scandal So cross your thoughtless heart
Cautions issued, he stood She's the albatross
Shooting the messengers She is here to destroy you
They tried to warn him about her

[Chorus]
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you

[Verse 2]
Wise men once said
"One bad seed kills the garden"
"One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"
Locked me up in towers
But I'd visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me

[Chorus]
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Devils that you know
Raise worse hell than a stranger
She's the death you chose
You're in terrible danger

[Bridge]
And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata
I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters

[Verse 3]
Wise men once read fake news
And they believed it
Jackals raised their hackles
You couldn't conceive it
You were sleeping soundly
When they dragged you from your bed
And I tried to warn you about them

[Chorus]
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Spread my wings like a parachute
I'm the albatross
I swept in at the rescue
The devil that you know
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Say you'll always wonder
Taylor Swift
[Outro]
[Verse 1] 'Cause I wonder
Your hologram stumbled into my apartment Will I always
Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness Will I always wonder?
Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
And I just watched it happen
As the decade would play us for fools
And you saw my bones out with somebody new
Who seemed like he would've bullied you in school
And you just watched it happen

[Chorus]
If you wanna break my cold, cold heart
Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"
If you wanna tear my world apart
Just say you've always wondered

[Verse 2]
You said some things that I can't unabsorb
You turned me into an idea of sorts
You needed me, but you needed drugs more
And I couldn't watch it happen
I changed into goddesses, villains, and fools
Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules
All to outrun my desertion of you
And you just watched it

[Chorus]
If you wanna break my cold, cold heart
Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"
If you wanna tear my world apart
Just say you've always wondered

[Bridge]
If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh
Down that passage in time back to the moment
I crashed into you, like so many wrecks do
Too impaired by my youth to know what to do

[Verse 3]
So if I sell my apartment
And you have some kids with an internet starlet
Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet
maroon?
Like it never happened
Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?
Can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses?
Cooler in theory, but not if you force it to be
It just didn't happen

[Chorus]
So if you wanna break my cold, cold heart
Say you loved me
And if you wanna tear my world apart
How Did It End? We'll tell no one except all of our friends
Taylor Swift But I still don't know
How did it end
[Intro]
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

[Verse 1]
We hereby conduct this post-mortem
He was a hot house flower to my outdoorsman
Our maladies were such we could not cure them
And so a touch that was my birthright became foreign

[Chorus]
Come one, come all, it's happenin' again
The empathetic hunger descends
We'll tell no one except all of our friends
We must know
How did it end?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

[Verse 2]
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
We learned thе right steps to different dancеs
And fell victim to interlopers' glances
Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
Soon, they'll go home to their husbands
Smug 'cause they know they can trust him
Then feverishly calling their cousins

[Chorus]
"Guess who we ran into at the shops?
Walking in circles like she was lost
Didn't you hear? They called it all off"
One gasp and then
"How did it end?"

[Bridge]
Say it once again with feeling
How the death rattle breathing
Silenced as the soul was leaving
The deflation of our dreaming
Leaving me bereft and reeling
My beloved ghost and me
Sitting in a tree
D-Y-I-N-G

[Pre-Chorus]
It's happenin' again
How did it end?
I can't pretend like I understand
How did it end?

[Chorus]
Come one, come all, it's happenin' again
The empathetic hunger descends
So High School From smokin' your jokes all damn night
Taylor Swift The brink of a wrinkle in time
Bittersweet sixteen suddenly
[Intro]
I feel so high school every time I look at you [Post-Chorus]
I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you I'm watchin' American Pie with you on a Saturday night
Your friends are around, so be quiet
[Chorus] I'm tryin' to stifle my sighs
And in a blink of a crinklin' eye 'Cause I feel so high school (Feel so high school) every
I'm sinkin', our fingers entwined time I look at you
Cheeks pink in the twinklin' lights But look at you
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
I'll drink what you think and I'm high [Outro]
From smokin' your jokes all damn night Truth, dare, spin bottles
The brink of a wrinkle in time You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
Bittersweet sixteen suddenly Brand-new, full throttle
Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto
[Post-Chorus] It's true, swear, scout's honor (Yeah)
I'm watchin' American Pie with you on a Saturday night You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her
Your friends are around, so be quiet Brand-new, full throttle (Yeah)
I'm tryin' to stifle my sighs You already know, babe
'Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you You already know, babe
But look at you

[Interlude]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

[Verse 1]
Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? (Kill me)
It's just a game, but really (Really)
I'm bettin' on all three (All three) for us two
Get my car door, isn't that sweet? (That sweet)
Then pull me to thе backseat (The backseat)
No onе's ever had me (Had me), not like you

[Bridge]
Truth, dare, spin bottles
You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
Brand-new, full throttle
Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto
It's true, swear, scout's honor
You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her
Brand-new, full throttle
You already know, babe

[Verse 2]
I feel like laughin' in the middle of practice
Do that impression you did of your dad again
I'm hearing voices like a madman

[Chorus]
And in a blink of a crinklin' eye
I'm sinkin', our fingers entwined
Cheeks pink in the twinklin' lights
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
I'll drink what you think, and I'm high
I Hate It Here I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
Taylor Swift People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
[Verse 1] No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
Quick, quick, tell me something awful I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance I hate it here
guy
Tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is [Outro]
My eternal consolation prize Quick, quick, tell me something awful
You see, I was a debutante in another life, but Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance
Now I seem to be scared to go outside guy
If comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what

[Chorus]
I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
I hate it here

[Verse 2]
My friends used to play a game where
We would pick a decade
We wished we could live in instead of this
I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists
And getting married off for the highest bid
Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now
Seems like it was never even fun back then
Nostalgia is a mind's trick
If I'd been there, I'd hate it
It was freezing in the palace

[Chorus]
I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind
When they found a better planet, only the gentle
survived
I dreamed about it in the dark, the night I felt like I
might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here
I hate it here

[Bridge]
I'm lonely, but I'm good
I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get
lost on purpose
This place made me feel worthless
Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through
me
And in my fantasies, I rise above it
And way up there, I actually love it

[Chorus]
thanK you aIMee I don't think you've changed much
Taylor Swift And so I changed your name and any real defining clues
And one day, your kid comes home singin'
[Verse 1] A song that only us two is gonna know is about you,
When I picture my hometown 'cause
There's a bronze, spray-tanned statue of you
And a plaque underneath it [Chorus]
That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school All that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for
nothin'
[Pre-Chorus] And our town, it looks so small from way up here
And it was always the same searing pain Screamed, "thanK you, aIMee" to the night sky and the
But I dreamed that one day I could say stars are stunnin'
'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal
[Chorus] Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' But she used to say she wished that you were dead
somethin' So I pushed each boulder up that hill
And I can't forgive the way you made me feel Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in
Screamed, "fucK you, aIMee" to the night sky as the my head
blood was gushin'
But I can't forget the way you made me heal [Outro]
thanK you, aIMee
[Verse 2] thanK you, aIMee
And it wasn't a fair fight
Or a clean kill each time that aIMee stompеd across my
grave
And then she wrotе headlines
In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd take

[Pre-Chorus]
And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that one day I could say

[Chorus]
All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin'
somethin'
And I couldn't wait to show you it was real
Screamed, "fucK you, aIMee" to the night sky as the
blood was gushin'
But I can't forget the way you made me heal
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say she wished that you were dead
I pushed each boulder up the hill
Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in
my head

[Bridge]
I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
I built a legacy that you can't undo
But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth
That there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you

[Verse 3]
And maybe you've reframed it
And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and
blue
I Look in People’s Windows
Taylor Swift

[Verse 1]
I had died the tiniest death
I spied the catch in your breath
Out, out, out, out, out, out
Northbound I got carried away
As you boarded your train
South, south, south, south, south, south

[Pre-Chorus]
A feather taken by the wind blowing
I'm afflicted by the not knowing, so

[Chorus]
I look in people's windows
Transfixed by rose golden glows
They have their friends over to drink nice wine
I look in people's windows
In case you're at their table
What if your eyes looked up and met mine
One more time?

[Verse 2]
You had stopped and tiltеd your head
I still ponder what it meant
Now, now, now, now, now, now
I triеd searching faces on streets
What are the chances you'd be
Downtown, downtown, downtown

[Pre-Chorus]
Does it feel alright to not know me?
I'm addicted to the "if only"

[Chorus]
So I look in people's windows
Like I'm some deranged weirdo
I attend Christmas parties from outside
I look in people's windows
In case you're at their table
What if your eyes looked up and met mine
One more time?
The Prophecy No sign of soulmates
Taylor Swift I'm just a paperweight in shades of greige
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be
[Intro] okay
One, two, three, four Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1] [Chorus]
Hand on the throttle Please
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle I've been on my knees
Oh, but it's gone again Change the prophecy
And it was written Don't want money
I got cursed like Eve got bitten Just someone who wants my company
Oh, was it punishment? Let it once be me
Pad around when I get home Who do I have to speak to
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope About if they can redo the prophecy?
A greater woman wouldn't beg Who do I have to speak to
But I looked to the sky and said To change the prophecy?

[Chorus] [Outro]
Please Hand on the throttle
I've been on my knees Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Change the prophecy Oh, but it's gone again
Don't want money Pad around when I get home
Just someone who wants my company I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
Let it once be me A greater woman wouldn't beg
Who do I have to speak to But I looked to the sky and said (Please)
About if they can redo the prophеcy?

[Verse 2]
Cards on the table
Mine play out likе fools in a fable
Oh, it was sinking in (Sinking in, oh)
Slow is the quicksand
Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
Oh, still I dream of him

[Chorus]
Please
I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?

[Bridge]
And I sound like an infant
Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
A greater woman stays cool
But I howl like a wolf at the moon
And I look unstable
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
Cassandra
Taylor Swift [Bridge]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
[Verse 1] I was onto somethin'
I was in my new house placing daydreams Ah-ah-ah, ah
Patching up the crack along the wall They all said nothin'
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
[Pre-Chorus] In a mourning warning, no one heard
When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin' No one heard, not a single word was heard
In the streets, there's a raging riot
When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking [Outro]
When the truth comes out, it's quiet When the first stone's thrown, there's screamin'
In the streets, there's a raging riot
[Chorus] When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the When the truth comes out, it's quiet
worst It's so quiet
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?

[Verse 2]
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware"
What happens if it becomes who you are?

[Chorus]
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the
worst
And tried to tell the town
So they set my life in flames, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?

[Bridge]
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto somethin'
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning, no one heard

[Verse 3]
I patched up the crack along the wall
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all

[Chorus]
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the
worst
And tried to tell the town
So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
Do you believe me now?
Peter But never to keep
Taylor Swift Never to keep

[Verse 1] [Bridge]
Forgive me, Peter And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
My lost fearless leader As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return
In closets like cedar With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd
Preserved from when we were just kids learned
Is it somethin' I did? 'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned
The goddess of timing And you said you'd come and get me, but you were
Once found us beguiling twenty-five
She said she was trying And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
Peter, was she lying? Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
My ribs get the feeling she did Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)
[Pre-Chorus] When you were mine
And I didn't wanna come down But the woman who sits by the window
I thought it was just goodbye for now Has turned out the light

[Chorus] [Chorus]
You said you were gonna grow up You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up Said you were gonna grow up
Thеn you were gonna come find mе You said you were gonna grow up
Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me
Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up
Words from the mouths of babes You said you were gonna grow up
Promises oceans deep Then you were gonna come find me
But never to keep Said you were gonna grow up
Oh, never to keep Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
[Verse 2] Then you were gonna come find me
Are you still a mind reader? Words from the mouths of babes
A natural scene stealer? Promises oceans deep
I've heard great things, Peter But never to keep
But life was always easier on you
Than it was on me
And sometimes it gets me
When crossing your jet stream
We both did the best we could do
Underneath the same moon
In different galaxies

[Pre-Chorus]
And I didn't wanna hang around
We said it was just goodbye for now

[Chorus]
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises oceans deep
The Bolter But as she was leaving
Taylor Swift It felt like breathing

[Verse 1] [Post-Chorus]
By all accounts, she almost drowned All her fuckin' lives
When she was six in frigid water Flashed before her eyes (Ah-ah-ah)
And I can confirm she made It feels like the time
A curious child, ever reviled She fell through the ice
By everyone except her own father Then came out alive
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless [Bridge]
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her She's been many places with
Then she runs like it's a race Men of many faces
Behind her back, her best mates laughed First, they're off to the races
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter" And she's laughing, drawin' aces
But none of it is changin'
[Chorus] That the chariot is waitin'
Started with a kiss Hearts are hers for the breakin'
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this" There's escape in escaping
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evening [Chorus]
Ended with the slam of a door Started with a kiss
Then he'll call her a whore "Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
Wish he wouldn't be sore But it always ends up with a town car speeding
But as she was leaving Out the drive one evenin'
It felt like breathing Ended with the slam of a door
But she's got the best stories
[Post-Chorus] You can be sure
All her fuckin' lives That as she was leaving
Flashed before her eyes It felt like freedom
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice [Post-Chorus]
Then came out alive All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes (And she realized)
[Verse 2] It feels like the time
He was a cad, wanted her bad She fell through the ice
Just like any good trophy hunter Then came out alive
And she liked the way it tastes
Taming a bear, making him care
Watching him jump then pulling him under
And at first blush, this is fate
When it's all roses, portrait poses
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
What a charming Saturday
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
Down in the floorboards
And she just knows she must bolt

[Chorus]
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a whore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
Robin The Manuscript
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift

[Verse 1] [Verse 1]
Long may you reign Now and then she rereads the manuscript
You're an animal, you are bloodthirsty Of the entire torrid affair
Out window panes talking utter nonsense They compared their licenses
You have no idea He said, "I'm not a donor but
I'd give you my heart if you needed it"
[Pre-Chorus] She rolled her eyes and said
Strings tied to levers "You're a professional"
Slowed-down clocks tethered He said, "No, just a good samaritan"
All this showmanship He said that if the sex was half as good as the
To keep it for you in sweetness conversation was
Soon they'd be pushin' strollers
[Chorus] But soon it was over
Way to go, tiger
Higher and higher [Verse 2]
Wilder and lighter In the age of him, she wished she was thirty
For you And made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press
Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal
[Verse 2] And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed
Long may you roar Then she dated boys who were her own age
At your dinosaurs With dart boards on the backs of their doors
You're a just ruler She thought about how he said since she was so wise
Covered in mud, you look ridiculous beyond her years
And you have no idea Everything had been above board
She wasn't sure
[Pre-Chorus]
Buried down deep [Bridge]
And out of your reach And the years passed like scenes of a show
The secret we all vowed The professor said to write what you know
To keep it from you in sweetness Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move
forward
[Chorus] Then the actors were hitting their marks
Way to go, tiger And the slow dance was alight with the sparks
Higher and higher And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score
Wilder and lighter And at last, she knew what the agony had been for
For you
[Verse 3]
[Bridge] The only thing that's left is the manuscript
You got the dragonflies above your bed One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
You have a favorite spot on the swing set Now and then I reread the manuscript
You have no room in your dreams for regrets But the story isn't mine anymore
(You have no idea)
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline
But now we'll curtail your curiosity
In sweetness

[Chorus]
Way to go, tiger (Way to go, tiger)
Higher and higher (Higher and higher)
Wilder and lighter
For you
