## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
We used to walk along the street
When the porch lights were shining bright
Before I had somewhere to be
Back when we had all night and we were happy
I do recall a good while back we snuck into the circus
You threw your arms around my neck, back when I deserved it
And we were happy

**[Chorus]**
When it was good, baby, it was good, baby
We showed 'em all up
No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm we were going to buy someday
And we were happy

**[Verse 2]**
We used to watch the sun go down on the boats in the water
That's sort of how I feel right now
And goodbye's so much harder 'cause we were happy

**[Chorus]**
When it was good, baby, it was good, baby
We showed 'em all up
No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm we were going to buy someday
And we were happy

**[Bridge]**
Oh, I hate those voices telling me I'm not in love anymore
But they don't give me choices and that's what these tears are for
'Cause we were happy, we were happy

**[Chorus]**
When it was good, baby, it was good, baby
We showed 'em all up
No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm
And you were gonna marry me
And we were happy
Yeah, we were happy
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We were happy

**I'd Lie** is an unreleased song by Taylor Swift.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I don’t think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He’ll never fall in love, he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I’m laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs

**[Chorus]**
And I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
I’d lie

**[Verse 2]**
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn’t he know that I've had him memorized for so long?
He sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine

**[Chorus]**
I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
I'd lie

**[Bridge]**
He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you
He'd never tell you, but he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up
Is my God, he’s beautiful
So I put on my makeup
And pray for a miracle

**[Chorus]**
Yes, I could tell you his favorite color's green
He loves to argue, oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
If you asked me if I love him
I’d lie
A Place in This World

## Audio

**A Place in This World** is the fourth track of Taylor's debut album Taylor Swift. It was released on October 24, 2006.

## Meaning and Background

> "I wrote this song when I was thirteen and had just moved to Nashville. It was tough trying to find out how I was going to get where I wanted to go. I knew where I wanted to be, but I just didn't know how to get there. I'm really happy this is on the album, because I feel like I finally figured it out."
>
> - Taylor about A Place in This World

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do

**[Chorus]**
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

**[Verse 2]**
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's OK

**[Chorus]**
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

**[Bridge]**
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly

**[Chorus]**
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
Oh I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

**[Outro]**
Oh I'm just a girl
Oh I'm just a girl, oh, oh
Oh I'm just a girl

Invisible String

## Lyric Video

**invisible string** is the eleventh track of Taylor Swift's eight album folklore. It was released on July 24, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

When Taylor was sent the track, she quickly thought about writing about fate. The song is about how every step you take, you're one step closer to where to need to be, guided by the invisible string.

Taylor wrote it right after she sent an ex a babygift and thought of a signifier that life is great.

## Trivia

* The string that Taylor sings about in this song is visualized in the music video for willow.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Green was the color of the grass
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used to think I would meet somebody there
Teal was the color of your shirt
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
You used to work at to make a little money

**[Chorus]**
Time, curious time
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

**[Verse 2]**
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab
On your first trip to LA
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
Getting lunch down by the Lakes
She said I looked like an American singer

**[Chorus]**
Time, mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

**[Bridge]**
A string that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons
Wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold
Tied me to you

**[Verse 3]**
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
For the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents
Gold was the color of the leaves
When I showed you around Centennial Park
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven

**[Chorus]**
Time, wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
And it's cool
Baby, with me
And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

**[Outro]**
(ah-ah-ah)
(ah-ah-ah)

Untouchable

## Lyric Video

**Untouchable** is the second track of the platinum edition of Taylor's second album Fearless. It's a cover, the original was sung by rock band Luna Halo. It was released on October 26, 2009.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor first covered the song at an event to surprise her then-manager Scott Borchetta, because he's a fan of the original band. It was posted on YouTube and got a lot of hits, so the label decided to put in on the platinum edition of Fearless.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Untouchable like a distant diamond sky
I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you, I'm caught up in you

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And when you're close, I feel like coming undone

**[Chorus]**
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

**[Verse 2]**
It's half full and I won't wait here all day
I know you're saying that you'd be here anyway

**[Pre-Chorus]**
But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
Now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

**[Chorus]**
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, oh
In the middle of the night waking from this dream
I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

**[Bridge]**
I'm caught up in you
Oh, oh, oh

**[Pre-Chorus]**
But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
Now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

**[Chorus]**
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, oh
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, come on
In the middle of the night waking from this dream
I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of heaven
And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You got to come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, oh, oh, oh

**[Outro]**
Like a million little stars spelling out your name
They're spelling out your name, oh

Peace

## Lyric Video

**peace** is the fifteenth track of Taylor Swift's eight album folklore. It was released on July 24, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

When Aaron Dessner sent Taylor the instrumental for the song, her first thought was that it sounded like peace because of the bass line. She thought about starting it in a way that goes against the title, namely "I could never give you peace". To the Rolling Stone, Taylor said the following about the meaning of the song: "*peace* is actually more rooted in my personal life. It comes after carving out a human life within a public life, and how scary that can be when you do fall in love and you meet someone, especially if you’ve met someone who has a very grounded, normal way of living. I, oftentimes, in my anxieties, can control how I am as a person and how normal I act and rationalize things, but I cannot control if there are 20 photographers outside in the bushes and what they do and if they follow our car and if they interrupt our lives. I can’t control if there’s going to be a fake weird headline about us in the news tomorrow. Would it be enough if I could never fully achieve the normalcy that we both crave?"

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Our coming-of-age has come and gone
Suddenly this summer, it's clear
I never had the courage of my convictions
As long as danger is near
And it's just around the corner, darlin'
'Cause it lives in me
No, I could never give you peace

**[Chorus]**
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
All these people think love's for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?

**[Verse 2]**
Your integrity makes me seem small
You paint dreamscapes on the wall
I talk shit with my friends, it's like I'm wasting your honor
And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences
Sit with you in the trenches
Give you my wild, give you a child
Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other
Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother
Is it enough?
But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west
I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best
But the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me

**[Chorus]**
But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
All these people think love's for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?

It's Nice to Have a Friend

## Audio

**It's Nice to Have a Friend** is the seventeenth track of Taylor Swift's seventh album Lover. It was released on August 23, 2019.

## Meaning and Background

> "It was fun to write a song that was just verses, because my whole body and soul wants to make a chorus — every time I sit down to write a song, I’m like, ‘Okay, chorus time, let’s get the chorus done.’ But with that song, it was more of like a poem, and a story and a vibe and a feeling of... I love metaphors that kind of have more than one meaning, and I think I loved the idea that, on an album called Lover, we all want love, we all want to find somebody to see our sights with and hear things with and experience things with. But at the end of the day we’ve been searching for that since we were kids! When you had a friend when you were nine years old, and that friend was all you talked about, and you wanted to have sleepovers and you wanted to walk down the street together and sit there drawing pictures together or be silent together, or be talking all night. We’re just looking for that, but endless sparks, as adults.”
>
> - Taylor about It's Nice to Have a Friend

## Trivia

* This is Taylor's shortest song out of all her discography.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**
Ooh
Ooh

**[Verse 1]**
School bell rings, walk me home
Sidewalk chalk covered in snow
Lost my gloves, you give me one
"Wanna hang out?" Yeah, sounds like fun
Video games, you pass me a note
Sleeping in tents

**[Chorus]**
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)

**[Verse 2]**
Light pink sky, up on the roof
Sun sinks down, no curfew
20 questions, we tell the truth
You've been stressed out lately, yeah, me too
Something gave you the nerve
To touch my hand

**[Chorus]**
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)

**[Verse 3]**
Church bells ring, carry me home
Rice on the ground looks like snow
Call my bluff, call you "Babe"
Have my back, yeah, every day
Feels like home, stay in bed
The whole weekend

**[Chorus]**
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)
It's nice to have a friend (ooh)

Girl at Home

## Audio

**Girl at Home** is the ninteenth track of the deluxe version of Taylor's fourth album Red. It was released on October 22, 2012.

## Meaning and Background

> And there's a song called *Girl at Home,* which was about a guy who had a girlfriend, and I just felt like it was disgusting that he was flirting with other girls
>
> - Taylor about Girl at Home

## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that

**[Verse 1]**
I don't even know her
But I feel a responsibility to do what's upstanding and right
It's kinda like a code, yeah
And you've been getting closer and closer
And crossing so many lines

**[Pre-Chorus]**
And it would be a fine proposition
If I was a stupid girl
But, honey, I am no one's exception
This, I have previously learned

**[Chorus]**
So don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
I see you turn off your phone
And now you got me alone, and I say
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

**[Verse 2]**
I just wanna make sure
You understand perfectly
You're the kind of man who makes me sad
While she waits up, you chase down the newest thing
And take for granted what you have

**[Pre-Chorus]**
And it would be a fine proposition
If I was a stupid girl
And yeah, I might go with it
If I hadn't once been just like her

**[Chorus]**
So don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
I see you turn off your phone
And now you got me alone, and I say
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

**[Bridge]**
Call a cab, lose my number
You're about to lose your girl
Call a cab, lose my number
Let's consider this lesson learned

**[Chorus]**
So don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
I see you turn off your phone
And now you got me alone, and I say
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

**[Outro]**
So don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
It would be a fine proposition
If I hadn't once been just like her

Breathe

## Lyric Video

**Breathe** is the seventh track of the standard edition of Taylor's second album Fearless. It was released on November 11, 2008. It features Colbie Caillat.

## Meaning and Background

> "It's a song about having to say goodbye to somebody, but it never blames anybody. Sometimes that's the most difficult part. When it's nobody's fault. I was a huge fan of Colbie's record. When it came out, I fell in love with the way that she makes music. I contacted her management right away and I asked if I could write with her and, sure enough, Colbie had a date coming up in Nashville where she was going to be playing a show and she had the day off. I think she sounds beautiful on it. I'm so excited to have her voice on my album."

> - Taylor about Breathe

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]**
I see your face in my mind as I drive away
'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people and sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time

**[Verse 2: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
Music starts playing like the end of a sad movie
It's the kind of ending you don't really wanna see
'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around

**[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

**[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
And I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to

**[Verse 3: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt
Every little bump in the road, I tried to swerve
But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

**[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

**[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
And I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you but I have to

**[Bridge: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
It's 2 A.M, feeling like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
It's 2 A.M, feeling like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me

**[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me, oh-oh

**[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to

**[Outro: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (mmm)
I'm sorry, (yeah, yeah) I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Cold as You

## Audio

**Cold as You** is the fifth track of Taylor's debut album Taylor Swift. It was released on October 24, 2006.

## Meaning and Background

> "I wrote this song with Liz, and I think the lyrics to this song are some of the best we've ever written. It's about that moment where you realize someone isn't at all who you thought they were, and that you've been trying to make excuses for someone who doesn't deserve them. And that some people are just never going to love you. We were halfway through writing this when I started singing 'And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you'."
>
> - Taylor about Cold as You

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take, you take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted

**[Chorus]**
Oh, what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

**[Verse 2]**
You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and wished them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

**[Chorus]**
Oh, what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

**[Bridge]**
You never did give a damn thing, honey, but I cried, cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you
(Died for you)

**[Chorus]**
Oh, what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counting all the scars you made
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

**The Lucky One** is the thirteenth track of Taylor's fourth album Red. It was released on October 22, 2012.

## Meaning and Background

> "The Lucky One is a song I wrote while I was in Australia.  It kind of talks about some of my fears through telling the story of other people that I was inspired by.  More than their stories being told, I'm pretty much singing about what I'm scared of in that song, ending up kind of caught up in this whole thing and lonely and feeling misunderstood and feeling like when people think you're lucky that you're really not.  It kind of expresses my greatest fear of having this not end up being fun anymore, having it end up being a scary place. Some people get there, some people end up there. It's a story song and its something I'm really proud of because it kind of goes to a place that I'm terrified of."

> - Taylor about the Lucky One

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
New to town with a made up name
In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame
And the camera flashes make it look like a dream
You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So overnight, you look like a sixties queen

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Another name goes up in lights
Like diamonds in the sky

**[Chorus 1]**
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh

**[Verse 2]**
Now, it’s big black cars and Riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn’t even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
And they tell you that you’re lucky, but you’re so confused
'Cause you don’t feel pretty, you just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you’ll make it out alive

**[Chorus]**
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh

**[Bridge]**
It was a few years later, I showed up here
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the rose garden over Madison Square
And it took some time, but I understand it now

**[Pre-Chorus]**
‘Cause now my name is up in lights
But I think you got it right

**[Chorus]**
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh

Dear John

## Audio

**Dear John** is the fifth track of Taylor's third album Speak Now. It was released on October 25, 2010.

## Meaning and Background

> "The song "Dear John" is sort of like the last email you would ever send to someone that you used to be in a relationship with. Usually people write this venting last email to someone and they say everything that they want to say to that person, and then they usually don't send it. I guess by putting this song on the album I am pushing send."
>
> - Taylor about Dear John

The 'John' Taylor addresses in this song, is John Mayer.

## Trivia

* Despite the song title referencing to John Mayer, 'Dear John' also means a letter in which a woman breaks up with their partner (often done during world wars).

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules everyday
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

**[Chorus]**
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known

**[Verse 2]**
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
"Run as fast as you can"

**[Chorus]**
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played by your dark, twisted games
When I loved you so?
I should've known

**[Bridge]**
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes
'Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

**[Chorus]**
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known

**[Outro]**
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
It wasn't just like a movie
The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin
I'm driving away and I, I guess you could say
This is the last time I'll drive this way again
When there's nothing to say and I try to grab at the fray
Cause I, I still love you but I can't

**[Chorus]**
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's coming down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me, yeah

**[Verse 2]**
The picture frame is empty
It's black and white, you're smiling down at me
I take your photo off the dash
And back to the conversation
I was so sure of everything we thought we'd always have
I'm lost in the sound of it
But here in the now comes in
Seems like I'm becoming part of your past

**[Chorus]**
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's coming down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me

**[Verse 3]**
And there's so much that I can't touch
You're all I want but it's not enough this time
And I can feel you like you're slipping through my hands
And I'm so scared of how this ends

**[Chorus]**
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's coming down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me

**[Chorus]**
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's coming down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me, yeah, yeah
There was one thing I knew would never leave me

**[Outro]**
It wasn't just like a movie
The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin

I know he loved you
A long time ago
I ain't jealous of you
Just thought you should know
You were never good enough for him
Or anything like me
So you might as well sit back
'Cause I ain't trying to show maturity

**[Chorus]**
"X" is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh, yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart in
Permanent marker

**[Verse 2]**
I found that picture
Of you in that green dress
Sure had a good time
Cleaning up that mess
He found 30 other pieces
But he'll never find them all
Tried to tape it back together
Now he knows to keep it off the wall

**[Chorus]**
"X" is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh, yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart
In permanent marker
"X" is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh, yeah
Oh, just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart
"X" is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh, yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart
In permanent marker

**[Outro]**
In permanent marker
Oh, permanent marker, yeah

>
> - Taylor about Should've Said No

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
It's 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

**[Pre-Chorus]**
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said, "Yes"

**[Chorus]**
You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word, 'bout what you did with her’d
Get back to me (Get back to me)
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me

**[Verse 2]**
You can see that I've 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?

**[Pre-Chorus]**
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said, "Yes"

**[Chorus]**
You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word, 'bout what you did with her’d
Get back to me (Get back to me)
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me

**[Bridge]**
I can't resist
Before you go tell me this
Was it worth it?
Was she worth this?
No no, no, no

**[Chorus]**
You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word, 'bout what you did with her’d
Get back to me (Get back to me)
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me

## Meaning and Background

> The song is about a girl who stayed forever in the exact spot where her heart was broken, completely frozen in time.
>
> - Taylor about *right where you left me*

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I'm right where you left me

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but I sat and stared

**[Chorus]**
Right where you left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me, you left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

**[Verse 2]**
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everybody else
She won't know it, she's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
How it was supposed to be
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me

**[Bridge]**
At the restaurant when I was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light everything was just right
I, I could feel the mascara run
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
Cause I'm right where I cause no harm
Mind my business
If our love died young
I can't bear witness
And it's been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong

**[Chorus]**
I'm right where
You left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

**[Verse 1]**
Your beautiful eyes
Stare right into mine

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I wanna be somewhere where you are

Miss Americana

**Miss Americana** is a documentary about Taylor Swift that was released on January 31, 2020. It was filmed between the time Taylor was on the Reputation Tour (2018) and the release of her album Lover (2019). It is available on Netflix.

Only The Young was released along with the movie as a promotional single.

## Synopsis

*A teenage country-music prodigy who evolved into a pop star, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift wins countless awards, fills stadium tours with rapturous fans, and continues to reinvent herself—all while maintaining her autonomy as an artist. Her megacelebrity leaves her personal life very public; every relationship and every feud is fodder for her haters on social media. After achieving so much in so little time, Swift is now at a crossroads in her career. Notably apolitical in the past, Swift, as a young American woman at this time, in this country, is motivated to address injustice and inequality in a way she never has, and she is emboldened to speak out for herself and what she believes in.*

Director Lana Wilson (After Tiller, 2013 Sundance Film Festival) offers a multifaceted window into Swift, her creative process, and her singular experience of being a star of this magnitude. With a skillful touch, Wilson accesses Swift’s vulnerability and sensitivity, fierce intelligence and wit, and reflective moments with her Scottish Fold kitties as she embarks on the latest chapter of her already extraordinary career.
