My Tears Ricochet

Lorenzo Wolff, Randy Merrill, John Hanes, Serban Ghenea, Jon Sher, John Rooney, Laura Sisk, & Jack Antonoff (studio personnel)

**my tears ricochet** is the fifth track on folklore and the first song that Taylor Swift wrote for the album.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room

And if I'm on fire, you'll 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

[Chorus]

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And you're the hero flying around, saving face

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

[Verse 2]

We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

But what a ghostly scene

You wear the same jewels that I gave you

As you bury me

[Chorus]

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

[Bridge]

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 I'm screaming at the sky)

And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)

[Chorus]

I didn't 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 you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain

Crossing out the good years

And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

## Commentary

* "I think it’s one of the best songs [Taylor's] written, which is, I think, why [she] crowned it as a track 5." -Jack Antonoff, folklore: the long pond studio sessions
Wild Heart

**Wild Heart** is the first track of Bleachers' debut album Strange Desire. It was also featured on the Love, Simon (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).

## Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]

I want to be grateful

I really wanna be grateful...

[Verse 1]

They closed the parkway late last night

And as I sat with the echoes of the

Lies that I told

I felt young, never changed

By crooked hearts

So put the shotgun back in the glove

Come on and wait another year for the

Dream far away

To come home, to be brave

[Chorus 1]

Well, everything has changed

And now it's only you that matters

I will find any way to your wild heart

[Verse 2]

They boarded up the windows

And the doors to my house

No one will ever read the letters

Or the lies that I told

From the years I was changed

By crooked hearts

Why did they have to go and do us like that?

Why did they have to go and run from the

Dream far away?

Were we there? Was I brave?

[Chorus 2]

To think everything must die

For anyone to matter

Got to find any way

To your wild heart

Oh, I will find any way to your wild heart

Oh, I will find any way to your wild heart

[Outro]

Well, everything has changed

And now I can't tell what matters

I will find any way to your wild heart

Your wild heart

Your wild heart

Your wild heart

Your wild heart

Your wild heart

Your wild heart

Your wild heart

(Your wild heart)
Gold Rush

**gold rush** is the third track from *evermore.* It was released on December 11, 2020.

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Gleaming, twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships on waters

So inviting, I almost jump in

[Chorus]

But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don't like a gold rush

[Verse 1]

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

I see me padding across your wooden floors

With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door

[Refrain]

At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town we wandered 'round had nеver seen a love as pure as it

And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'Cause it could never be

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don't like a gold rush

[Verse 2]

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

My mind turns your life into folklore

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

[Refrain]

At dinner parties I won't call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it

'Cause it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'Cause it will never be

[Outro]

Gleaming, twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships on waters

So inviting, I almost jump in

## Commentary

* "One of the reasons that I've been able to work with her through many different time periods and sounds and whatnot is a deep belief in her process, that really rubs off on the people around her. It feels like we can continue to take these journeys together. “Gold Rush” was a pretty different sound than what was on “folklore.” Even the movement in the chorus and some of the chord changes, they're very outside of the realm for what we've done together. We have different processes. Sometimes we sit in a room, sometimes she'll send me a song, sometimes I'll send her a track. That was one where I had the track going. And she did the classic thing where you send it to her, and a very short time later, she sent back a voice note with all of these brilliant ideas of what the song is." —Jack Antonoff, *The Tennessean*

## Notes

* Blu DeTiger’s microphone wasn’t on for the beginning of the first song so she has a few false starts.
* Blu asked the audience what costume they should wear the following night for Halloween: Cruella De Vil and Dalmatians or Blue’s Clues characters.
* Jack sang "Like A River Runs," "Nothing is U," "Bullet," and "Carry On" acoustically and solo.
* Jack said that this show was special because one of the earliest Bleachers shows took place in the venue in the basement and wanted to celebrate being able to fill the nicer room.
* Sean Hutchinson brought a bottle out onto the stage.
* Jack said that he couldn’t be in Indiana without saying “FUCK Mike Pence.” Riddles chanted “Fuck Mike Pence” during his speech.
* Jack confirmed that they are making a live album for this tour and filming all of the shows.
* Jack wore the jail shirt on stage.
* Before the show, Jack wore a blue Claud shirt, the Asbury Park shorts, and black flip flops off the tour bus and into a waiting car. When he returned he had a large, full canvas tote bag over his shoulder and earbuds in.
* Before the show, Zem left the buses to go get food and got temporarily blocked from going past the barricades by security.
* After the show, while walking to the bus, Jack accepted a letter from a fan and stated that next year they would be doing a show in Nashville. He thanked those waiting near the buses for such a special show. He was wearing a large t-shirt that said “steak diane.”
* Laura Sisk attended this and the previous night’s Chicago show.

Jumping the Shark

**Jumping the Shark** is an unreleased track from Aim and Ignite by fun. Although the song did not make the cut for the album, American rapper Eminem later interpolated the track on his song "Headlights" feat. Nate Ruess.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mom, I know I let you down

And though you say these days are happy

Why's the power off and I'm fucked up?

And Mom, I know made dad proud

Never say your son's a preacher

When the boy can't fill his sleep

Oh I said

[Hook]

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I want a new life

[Hook]

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I want a new life

[Verse 2]

One as an adult

So I'm coming home tonight

No matter what the cost

And if the plane goes down

Or if the crew can't wake me up

Just know that I'm alright

Oh I was not afraid to die

And even if there's songs to sing

Or grandchildren you'll never meet

It might not be that time

No I was not afraid to die

Cause I put more faith in TV shows

Than I ever have some holy ghost

You know you've played a part

But after everything went dark

I started

I started...

[Hook]

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I started jumping the shark

I want a new life

Chinatown

**Chinatown** is the first single from Bleachers' third album Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night and features a collaboration with New Jersey native and favored son Bruce Springsteen. It was released on November 16, 2020.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jack Antonoff]

Get in my backseat, honeypie

And I'll wear your sadness like it's mine

'Cause it's just good to feel what's been missing

Yeah, it's bad when it's good to always be missing

[Chorus: Jack Antonoff]

But a girl like you

Could rip me out of my head

Black tears on your cheek

I want them in my bed

I'll take you out of the city

Honey, right into the shadow

Because I wanna find tomorrow

Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow

With a girl like you

My Chinatown baby

Sittin' on the front stoop

Crying out the crazy

I'll take you out of the city

Honey, right into the shadow

Because I wanna find tomorrow

Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby

[Verse 2: Jack Antonoff]

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that big red light

And take the sadness out of Saturday night

'Cause that's just good to have what was missing

We were bad to be bad, to always be missing

[Chorus: Bruce Springsteen and Jack Antonoff]

But a girl like you

Could rip me out of my head

Black tears on your cheek

I want them in my bed

I'll take you out of the city

Honey, right into the shadow

'Cause I wanna find tomorrow

Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow

With a girl like you

You're my Chinatown baby

Sittin' on your front stoop

Crying out the crazy

I'll take you out of the city

Honey, right into the shadow

Because I wanna find tomorrow

Yeah, I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby

[Bridge: Bruce Springsteen and Jack Antonoff]

I wanna run

I wanna run

I love to chase every feeling

I wanna run

I wanna run

I wanna run

'Cause I wanna find tomorrow with you, baby

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]

We don't have to break every dream we've ever known

Running down the hallway

Running up the long road

We don't have to chase everything we've ever made

Running down the hallway (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Running up the long road (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

We don't have to break every dream we've ever known

## Quotes

* According to a 2021 interview with NME, "Springsteen’s music was the first time that Antonoff heard himself in the sound: “You have different lives and different experiences, but the feeling behind it [is the same]. [You think:] ‘This is how I feel. I understand what this person is talking about, I’m dying to fucking get out of here – but I love this place’.”"

[Verse 1]

These steps toward faith, I can't imagine it

Pack my suitcase up 'til I can't bear it

Who am I without this weight on my shoulder?

Oh God, I'm dying to know

[Chorus 1]

But how dare you want more?

How dare you want more?

Preacher, preacher's callin' from the floor

[Verse 2]

Stolen identity, stolen dreamin'

Who is he if he just go and tell it like it is?

I'll bet he's dying to know

But how dare you want more?

How dare you want more?

Preacher, preacher's callin' from the floor (Hey)

Who is she without all of this carryin' fear?

Oh God, she's still my mother and still my wheel, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Still my mother, still my wheel, yeah

Still my mother, still my wheel, yeah

Still my mother, still my wheel, yeah

Still my mother cryin' out

"How dare you want more?"

Preacher, preacher callin' from the floor

"How dare you want more?" (How dare you want more?)

"How dare you want more?"

Hey, lonely wants to stay forever (No)

But tonight, we're gonna do a little better (What?)

Yeah, tonight, we're gonna do a little better (Say)

Yeah, tonight, we're gonna do a little better

Wait, lonely wants to tear us down now

But tonight, we're gonna drown the sound out

Well, tonight, we're gonna drown the sound out (Hey)

Well, tonight, we're gonna drown it out (Yeah)

[Chorus 4]

Well, how dare you want more? (What?)

Well, how dare you want more?

(What?)

[Bridge]

No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no

I said, whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa (Alright)

Let's go

I said, no, hey-no, hey-no, hey-no

Get one, get two (Ah)

[Chorus 5]

(How dare you want more?)

(How dare you want more?)

Mariners Apartment Complex

**Mariners Apartment Complex** is the 2nd track on Norman Fucking Rockwell! and the album's first single.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You took my sadness out of context

At the Mariners Apartment Complex

I ain't no candle in the wind

I'm the board, the lightning, the thunder

Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder

Who you are and who you've been

[Pre-Chorus]

And who I've been is with you on these beaches

Your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness

Maybe I could save you from your sins

So kiss the sky and whisper to Jesus

My, my, my, you found this, you need this

Take a deep breath, baby, let me in

[Chorus]

You lose your way, just take my hand

You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again

Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am

I'm your man

I'm your man

[Verse 2]

They mistook my kindness for weakness

I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus

Can't a girl just do the best she can?

Catch a wave and take in the sweetness

Think about it, the darkness, the deepness

All the things that make me who I am

[Pre-Chorus]

And who I am is a big-time believer

That people can change, but you don't have to leave her

When everyone's talking, you can make a stand

'Cause even in the dark, I feel your resistance

You can see my heart burning in the distance

Baby, baby, baby, I'm your man, yeah

[Chorus]

You lose your way, just take my hand

You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again

Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am

I'm your man

I'm your man

[Outro]

Catch a wave and take in the sweetness

Take in the sweetness

You want this, you need this

Are you ready for it?

Are you ready for it?

Are you ready for it?

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

I feel like I'm missing more and more and more every time

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

I wanna be grateful

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

I wanna be grateful

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

I don't think I can talk about that

[Verse 1]

All the hope I had when I was young, I hope I wasn't wrong

I miss those days so I sing a don't take the money song

That's why I'm up in my room tonight whistling wind out my teeth

'Cause somebody didn't fix them nice (no)

Well some things just don't turn out right (no)

[Verse 2]

Kim's video closed and a war goes on and on

All the hope I had when I was young, I hope I wasn't wrong

That's why I'm out in the street tonight whistling wind out my teeth

'Cause somebody didn't fix them nice (no)

You know some things just don't turn out right

[Chorus]

Rolling thunder had cursed my bedroom

Heard from your mother, she don't recognize you

Now Mickey Mantle left on a Sunday

And all of the neighborhood rushes home to pray

[Bridge]

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

We're rushing home to pray (yeah)

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

We're rushing home to pray (yeah)

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

We're rushing home to pray (yeah)

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

We're rushing home to pray (yeah)

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

We're rushing home to pray (yeah)

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

Rolling thunder (yeah) cursed my bedroom (yeah)

[Chorus]

Rolling thunder had cursed my bedroom

Heard from your mother, she don't recognize you

Now Mickey Mantle left on a Sunday

And all of the neighborhood rushes home to pray

[Outro]

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

Woke up, I'm in the in-between honey

One foot out and I know the weight is coming

Because I left it by the bed last night

Open my eyes and I stare and pray for light

Always one foot out when you say goodbye to the one that you love

## Commentary

* "dream of mickey mantle is really a special opener for a show" —Jack Antonoff, via Twitter
* “Th[e death of the Yankees baseball star Mickey Mantle] was the first horrible thing I can remember before I’d experienced horrible stuff in my life. Everyone has this thunder moment in their life, this line in the sand [where the innocence of childhood is tainted by tragedy.] It’s like a prequel to all this sadness I’m talking about,” —Jack Antonoff, in an interview with DIY

The song is about how so many memories are associated with the apartment Swift rented in Manhattan that if she and her lover were to ever break up, she doesn't think she could ever return there.

## Lyrics

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 arrowhead

Leading us home

And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

I'd 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

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

I'd 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

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

Oh, never again

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

I don't wanna lose you (Hope it never ends)

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

I don't wanna lose you (Yeah)

"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

I say casually in the car

## Trivia

* Swift rented an apartment on Cornelia Street in 2016 and 2017 while her Tribeca apartment was being renovated.

**Happy Birthday, Johnny** is the 6th track on MASSEDUCTION. It was released on October 13, 2017.

This song is third in the "Johnny trilogy," with "Prince Johnny" and "Marry Me" as its predecessors .

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Remember one Christmas, I gave you Jim Carroll

Intended it as a cautionary tale

You said you saw yourself inside there

Dog-eared it like a how-to manual

Remember one summer, we walked in Times Square

I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares

You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire

We took the blame, took the bags to the train

[Chorus]

Happy Birthday, Johnny

Wherever you are

Happy Birthday, Johnny

Wherever you are

[Verse 2]

The last time you called it was on New Years' Eve

You asked me for dough to get somethin' to eat

Since we last spoke, you live on the street

Yeah, I wouldn't believe all the shit that you've seen

[Chorus]

Happy New Year, Johnny

Is it twenty-three?

Happy New Year, Johnny

Are there lights on the trees?

[Verse 3]

When I said, “Let me think,” and you yelled through your teeth

Accused me of acting like all royalty

Always for show, no true charity

You saw me on magazines and TV

[Verse 4]

But if they only knew the real version of me

Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear

What happened to blood? Our family?

Annie, how could you do this to me?

[Outro]

Of course, I blame me

When you get free, Johnny

I hope you find peace

Call It What You Want

**Call It What You Want** is the 14th track on Taylor Swift's sixth album, Reputation.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My castle crumbled overnight

I brought a knife to a gunfight

They took the crown, but it's alright

All the liars are calling me one

Nobody's heard from me for months

I'm doin' better than I ever was

'Cause

[Chorus]

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

[Verse 2]

All my flowers grew back as thorns

Windows boarded up after the storm

He built a fire just to keep me warm

All the drama queens taking swings

All the jokers dressing up as kings

They fade to nothing when I look at him

And I know I make the same mistakes every time

Bridges burn, I never learn

At least I did one thing right

I did one thing right

I'm laughing with my lover, makin' forts under covers

Trust him like a brother

Yeah, you know I did one thing right

Starry eyes sparkin' up my darkest night

[Chorus]

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(*Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it*)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

[Bridge]

I want to wear his initial on a chain 'round my neck

Chain 'round my neck

Not because he owns me

But 'cause he really knows me

Which is more than they can say, I

I recall late November

Holding my breath, slowly, I said

"You don't need to save me

But would you run away with me?"

Yes (Would you run away?)

[Chorus]

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

(*Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it*)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(*Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it*)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

[Outro]

*(Call it what you want, call it)*

*(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)*

*(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)*

*(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)*

*(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)*

*(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)*

*(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)*

Call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want... to

## Trivia

* This song was recorded at Jack Antonoff's apartment in New Jersey.
Theme: Grief

## Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night era

* “When my sister died it did this thing, which I’m really starting to realise now, where because it’s such a massive life event, you become a genius in one language - maybe it’s grief - and such an infant in others... So if you feel like shit, if you have panic attacks, if you’re bad at relationships, it is all because this thing happened. And so you don’t get to discover yourself outside of it... You just get to a point where you’re there, and you’ve got all this baggage, and you can’t quite fit through the doorway,” he explains. “So you say, ‘OK, I’ve talked about grief forever, maybe there are other things that are worth looking at, that I’ve missed because I’ve been so obsessed with this big thing’.” —Jack Antonoff, in an August 2021 interview with *DIY*

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well I woke up to the sound of silence

The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight

And I found you with a bottle of wine

Your head in the curtains

And heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said

We are not

We are not shining stars

This I know

I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that

I've closed enough windows

To know you can never look back

[Chorus]

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

[Verse 2]

So I met up with some friends

At the edge of the night

At a bar off 75

And we talked and talked

About how our parents will die

All our neighbors and wives

But I'd like to think

I can cheat it all

To make up for the times I've been cheated on

And it's nice to know

When I was left for dead

I was found and now I don't roam these streets

I am not the ghost you are to me

[Chorus]

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground and

Carry on

[Bridge]

Woah

My head is on fire

But my legs are fine

After all they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor

Close the door

Hold the phone

Show me how

No one's ever gonna stop us now

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge 2]

Cause we are

We are shining stars

We are invincible

We are who we are

On our darkest day

When we're miles away

So we'll come

We will find our way home

[Chorus]

If you're lost and alone

Or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound

Of your feet upon the ground and

Carry on

[Outro]

No one's ever gonna stop us now
