Christmas Must Be Something More

## Audio

**Christmas Must Be Something More** is the fifth track of Taylor's Christmas EP The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection. It was released on October 14, 2007.

## Meaning and Background

The song is about how Christmas isn't just about snow, gifts, carols, etc., but that the true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

## Trivia

* This is Taylor's second original Christmas song, the other two being Christmases When You Were Mine and Christmas Tree Farm.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing?
Would the song still survive without five golden rings?
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe?
What would happen if God never let it snow?
What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie?
Tell me, what would you find?

**[Chorus]**
You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

**[Verse 2]**
What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wished they would always do?
What if happiness came in a cardboard box?
Then I think there is something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away?
Tell me, what would you find?

**[Chorus]**
You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

**[Bridge]**
We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred-mile-an-hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

**[Chorus]**
Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more

**[Outro]**
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more
Battle

**Battle** or **Let's Go** is an unreleased song by Taylor Swift. It was leaked in November 2018. It was presumably written for Speak Now.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
The first shots fired, everybody's gathered around
You're looking at me like I tried to take you down
No, no, it's not what happened at all
There's no sound, I'm waiting on your next move
A showdown and I know where to hit you
But no, no, it's not how I wanted this to go down

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Now we're standing in the ring
And you made your first swing
And now we're fighting dirty
Won't somebody come say break it up

**[Chorus]**
And I used to be on your side
Now it's looking like we're going to battle
And why you're taking shots at me like
Somebody's gonna give you a medal?
And I never wanna hurt you
But I'm tired of taking all these blows
And so I'd rather be on your side
But if you wanna fight
Baby let's go, oh, oh
Let's go, oh, oh

**[Verse 2]**
So gloves off, if this is how you want it
We had it all, but you couldn't keep a promise
No, no, I'm not the one who tore us apart
Let me remind you for a minute why we're not fine
Is she here? Is she's standing on the sidelines?
Oh, oh, can't you tell this is breaking my heart?

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Now we're standing in the ring
And you make the first swing
And now I'm fighting dirty
But I ain't going down till they break it up

**[Chorus]**
And I used to be on your side
Now it's looking like we're going to battle
And why you're taking shots at me like
Somebody's gonna give you a medal?
And I never wanna hurt you
But I'm tired of taking all these blows
And so I'd rather be on your side
But if you wanna fight
Let's go, oh, oh
Let's go, oh, oh

**[Bridge]**
Now we're standing in the ring
Breaking everything that we've been building up so long
And I don't wanna do this break it up
But you're not who I thought you were
And this is looking more like a war
Looks like we're going to war

**[Chorus]**
And I used to be on your side
Now it's looking like we're going to battle
And I try to not break down crying
No one's gonna give you a medal
And I never wanna hurt you
But I'm tired of taking all these blows
And so I'd rather be on your side
I'd rather be on your side
But if you wanna fight
Baby let's go, oh, oh
Looks like we're going to war
Oh, oh

**[Outro]**
The first shots fired
Everybody's gathered around
You're looking at me like I try to take you down
No, no, but if you wanna fight, baby, let's go

[During recess...]

[Mimsy sees Jason studying and walks up to him..]

**Mimsy:** Um, hi Jason.

**Jason:** What do you want?

**Mimsy:** Um, my mom packed me the best stuff. She made eggs and avocado sandwiches.

**Jason:** So what?

**Mimsy:** I was just thinking that... maybe we could... eat lunch together. I've always kind of... liked you.

**Jason:** Well, I don't like you! Your annoying.

**Mimsy:** I know. Ah I know you don't like me back. I ju- Yeah, you know, the- this was stupid, I'm sorry. I wasted your time. *[walks quickly away]*

**Jason:** Hey. Wait. *[Mimsy stops and Jason catches up]* Look, I'm sorry. That was mean. I'd love to try one of your mom's sandwiches.

[In the girls' bathroom...]

**Jessie:** You have a date with Jason Berry?!

**Mimsy:** We're just going to have lunch, Jessie.

**Jessie:** First kisses are full of possibilities.

**Mimsy:** We're not gonna kiss! I just wanna spend more time with him...

**Jessie:** Your heart starts to race, you feel confused and almost dizzy, and on the other extreme, you have no idea how Jason would respond.

**Mimsy:** Jason needs a friend and I wanna be his first friend.

**Jessie:** What's for lunch.

**Mimsy:** Slices of bread filled with fresh avocado and free range eggs.

**Jessie:** My favorite. I think Jason will love it too.

**Mimsy:** I haven't seen Abba all day. Where is she?

**Jessie:** She probably has colitis or something.

[In the hallway...]

**Abba:** Hey, Jessie.

**Jessie:** What is it, Abba?

**Abba:** Wanna hear a joke?

**Jessie:** No.

**Abba:** Your mom's so black that she's the reason kids are afraid of the dark.

**Jessie:** Your mom's such a slut, she got her tubes tied and still got pregnant.

**Abba:** FUCK OFF, JESSIE!

## Meaning and Background

> The last time I wrote a poem that ended up being a song, I was writing in my journal and I was writing about something that had happened in my life - it was about a year ago - and I just wrote this really really short poem, it said “This love is good / this love is bad / this love is alive back from the dead / these hands had to let it go free / and this love came back to me” and I just wrote it down and closed the book and put it back on my night stand and I was like “that was a fun, short little poem” and then all of a sudden in my head I just started hearing this melody happen and then I realised that it was going to be a song

## Trivia

* This is one of Taylor's favorite 1989 songs.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Clear blue water
High tides came and brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on
And I will
Skies grew darker
Currents swept you out again
And you are just gone and gone, gone, and gone

**[Pre-Chorus]**
In silent screams and wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this

**[Chorus]**
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead oh-oh, oh
These hands had to let it go free, and
This love came back to me oh-oh, oh
oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

**[Verse 2]**
Tossing, turning
Struggled through the night with someone new
And I could go on and on, on and on
Lantern burning
Flickered in my mind, only you
But you're still gone, gone, gone

**[Pre-Chorus]**
In losing grip on sinking ships
You showed up just in time

**[Chorus]**
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead oh-oh, oh
These hands had to let it go free, and
This love came back to me oh-oh, oh
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark oh-oh, oh
These hands had to let it go free, and
This love came back to me oh-oh, oh

**[Post-Chorus]**
(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)
(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)
(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)
(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)

**[Bridge]**
Your kiss, my cheek
I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, you just run
But you come back to what you need

**[Chorus]**
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead oh-oh, oh
These hands had to let it go free, and
This love came back to me oh-oh, oh
(This Love) This love left a permanent mark
(This Love) This love is glowing in the dark oh-oh, oh
(This Love) These hands had to let it go free, and
(This Love) This love came back to me oh-oh, oh

**[Post-Chorus]**
(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)
(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh)
(This love, this love, this love, this love)
This Love, this love came back to me oh-oh, oh

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

**[Verse 1]**
I've been breakin' hearts a long time
And toyin' with them older guys
Just playthings for me to use
Something happened for the first time,
In the darkest little paradise
Shakin', pacin', I just need you

**[Pre-Chorus]**
For you, I would cross the line
I would waste my time, I would lose my mind
They say she's gone too far this time

**[Chorus]**
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

**[Verse 2]**
My name is whatever you decide
And I'm just gonna call you mine
I'm insane, but I'm your baby (your baby)
Echoes, of your name inside my mind
Halo, hiding my obsession
I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
And baby, for you, I would fall from grace
Just to touch your face
If you walk away
I'd beg you on my knees to stay

**[Chorus]**
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

**[Bridge]**
I get so high, oh!
Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me
You're lovin' me
Trip of my life, oh!
Every time, yeah, every time you're touchin' me
You're touchin' me
Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
(Usin' for the rest of my life, oh)

Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (doin' it right, no)
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life, oh
Don't blame me, love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (you ain't doin' it...)
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'll be usin' for the rest of my life (I'll be usin', I'll be usin')

**[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]**
You said, "I know"
When I said, "I need some time, need some space
To think about all of this"
You watched me go
And I knew my
Words were hard to hear
And harder to ever take back
And I said, "When can I-I-I come back?"

**[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Keith Urban]**
And you said that's when
When I wake up in the morning
That's when, when it's sunny or storming
Laughing, when I'm crying
And that's when, I'll be waiting at the front gate
That's when, when I see your face
I'll let you in, and baby, that's when
Mm, mm

**[Verse 2: Keith Urban]**
I said, "I know"
When you said, "I did you wrong
Made mistakes
And put you through all of this"
Then through the phone
Came all your tears
And I said, "Leave those all in our past"
And you said, "When can I come back?"

**[Chorus: Keith Urban & Taylor Swift]**
And I said, that's when
When I wake up in the morning
That's when, when it's sunny or storming
Laughing, when I'm crying
And that's when I'll be waiting at the front gate
That's when I see your face
I'll let you in, and baby, that's when"

**[Bridge: Taylor Swift]**
And you said, "Honestly
When you were gone
Did you ever think of me?"
And I said

**[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Keith Urban]**
"That's when, when I woke up in the morning
That's when, it was sunny or storming
And laughing when I was crying
And that's when, you were waiting at the front gate
And that's when, when I saw your face
You let me in, and baby, that's when"

**[Outro: Taylor Swift & Keith Urban]**
That's when, when I wake up in the morning (Yeah)
That's when, when it's sunny or storming
When I'm laughing, when I'm crying
That's when I'll be waiting at the front gate
(That when I miss you, that's when I want you)
That's when, when I see your face
That's when I love you, that's when

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Flashing lights and we
Took a wrong turn and we
Fell down a rabbit hole
You held on tight to me
'Cause nothing's as it seems
And spinning out of control

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Didn't they tell us "Don't rush into things"?
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?
Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?
I felt your arms twisting around me
I should've slept with one eye open at night

**[Chorus]**
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever (ey-ey)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better (ey-ey)
In wonderland, in wonderland (ey-ey-ey-ey)
In wonderland, in wonderland (ey-ey-ey-ey)

**[Verse 2]**
So we went on our way
Too in love to think straight
All alone, or so it seemed
But there were strangers watching
And whispers turned to talking
And talking turned to screams, oh

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Didn't they tell us "Don't rush into things"?
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
Didn't you calm my fears with with a Cheshire cat smile?
Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?
I felt your arms twisting around me
It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind
But darling

**[Chorus]**
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever (ey-ey)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better (ey-ey)
In wonderland, in wonderland (ey-ey-ey-ey)
In wonderland, in wonderland (ey-ey-ey-ey)

**[Bridge]**
I reached for you, but you were gone
I knew I had to go back home
You searched the world for something else
To make you feel like what we had
And in the end, in wonderland
We both went mad
Oh

**[Chorus]**
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
Last forever (ey, ey)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it (got lost in it)
And life was never worse but never better
Never better (ey, ey)
(ey-ey-ey-ey)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
(ey-ey-ey-ey)
And we pretended it could last forever (in wonderland)
(ey-ey-ey-ey)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
(ey-ey-ey-ey)
And life was never worse but never better
In wonderland

## Meaning and Background

The song describes someone breaking Taylor's heart, presumably for the first time.

## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

**[Verse]**
Maybe I should've seen the signs
Should've read the writing on the wall
And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall
No matter what you say, I still can't believe
That you would walk away
It don't make sense to me, but

**[Chorus]**
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

**[Bridge]**
It's not unbroken anymore
How do I get it back the way it was before?

**[Chorus]**
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break? Why would you wanna break it?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

Fearless (song)

## Lyric Video

**Fearless** is the first track and fifth single of the standard edition of Taylor's third album Speak Now. It was released on November 11, 2008 and became a single on January 3, 2010.

## Meaning and Background

> "This is a song about the fearlessness of falling in love. No matter how many break up songs you write, no matter how many times you get hurt, you will always fall in love again.  When I wrote Fearless, I wasn't dating anyone. I wasn't even in the beginning stages of dating anybody. I really was all by myself out on tour and I got this idea for a song about the best first date. I think sometimes when you're writing love songs, you don't write them about what you're going through at the moment, you write about what you wish you had. So, this song is about the best first date I haven't had yet."
>
> - Taylor about Fearless

## Music Video

The music video was released on February 17, 2010. It was directed by Todd Cassetty. It starts out with Taylor telling her team "You guys, this tour has been the best experience of my entire life.". It then footage of the Fearless Tour performances, the fans attending and behind the scenes. It ends with Taylor waving goodbye to the audience as the show ends.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
There's something 'bout the way the street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah
Oh, yeah
We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know
I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair
Absentmindedly making me want you

**[Chorus]**
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

**[Verse 2]**
So, baby, drive slow 'til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now, capture it, remember it

**[Chorus]**
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

**[Bridge]**
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something
It's fearless
Oh, yeah

**[Chorus]**
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
Oh, oh
Oh, yeah

Abba Pomarico

**Abba Luminosa Pomarico** is one of the supporting characters of *Rabbitz*. She is the popular girl who takes pleasure in bullying the lower class and making Mimsy feel bad about herself. She strongly dislikes Mimsy and calls her mean nicknames, such as "ugly" and "fatty", as well as always getting her in trouble for what she did. She is shown to be unforgiving and holds grudges against people, even when they apologize. Her is often neglected by her single mother, which could be one of the reasons why she is a bully and has a poor attitude.

## Personality

Many hateful words can be said about Abba, but the fact she is apathic and uncaring is just the tip of the iceberg. There there's the fact she's also vindictive, irritable and racist, but fortunately they're mixed with behaviors of being respectful as well. But focus on her as this is what she's often scorned. Multiple enemies have been made because of this and her disruptive nature, which plenty have been a witness to.

Abba is an incredibly spoiled little girl, mostly because of her mother's advances. She takes great pleasure in putting down, insulting, bullying and making fun of most of her classmates. Abba also tends not to take responsibility for her actions. Abba is even cold enough to tease Mimsy about being oblivious, which is Mimsy's weak spot. She also blames Abba for things that were her own fault and is manipulative.

Her poor attitude and bullying behavior could possibly and partially be attributed to her reaction to her mom's neglect and not having a father in her life. Her spoiled personality could also be from her mother spoiling her daughter to keep her happy and mask the struggles they endure as a family. Another likely reason that she is so mean to Mimsy is that she is jealous of the love and happiness her rival has with her family, something she cannot get with her father away.
Sad Beautiful Tragic

## Audio

**Sad Beautiful Tragic** is the twelfth track of Taylor's fourth album Red. It was released on October 22, 2012.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor wrote this song during the Speak Now tour.

> "This is a song that I wrote about how just because something is over doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly beautiful.  Cause another lesson I've learned is that not all stories have a happy ending and you have to learn how to deal with that. This is a song about a story that didn't end so happily, but it was still supposed to happen.
>
> - Taylor Swift during the Red Tour.

## Trivia

* The song starts with the sound of a train leaving the station.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

**[Chorus]**
We had a beautiful magic love affair
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

**[Verse 2]**
In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, different cities
And time is taking its sweet time erasing you
And you've got your demons
And darling, they all look like me

**[Chorus]**
'Cause we had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

**[Bridge]**
Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting
Silence, the train runs off its tracks
Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen?
Hang up, give up, and for the life of us we can't get back

**[Chorus]**
A beautiful magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful
What we had, a beautiful magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic, love affair
We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Time slows down
Whenever you're around

**[Chorus]**
Can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

**[Verse 2]**
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile
That takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say
Is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense 'til the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Time slows down
Whenever you're around, yeah

**[Chorus]**
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

**[Bridge]**
Time slows down
Whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down

**[Chorus]**
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

**[Outro]**
Today was a fairytale

Come in With the Rain

## Lyric Video

**Come in With the Rain** is the fourth track of the platinum edition of Taylor's second album Fearless. It was released on October 26, 2009.

## Meaning and Background

The song describes Taylor getting tired of putting effort in trying to get a guy to like her and just hopes he'll come for her.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I could go back to every laugh
But I don't wanna go there anymore
And I know all the steps up to your door
But I don't wanna go there anymore

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Talk to the wind, talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find

**[Chorus]**
I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain

**[Verse 2]**
I could stand up and sing you a song
But I don't wanna have to go that far
And I, I've got you down, I know you by heart
And you don't even know where I start

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Talk to yourself, talk to the tears
Talk to the man who put you here
And don't wait for the sky to clear

**[Chorus]**
I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain

**[Bridge]**
I've watched you so long, screamed your name
I don't know what else I can say

**[Chorus]**
But I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain

**[Outro]**
I could go back to every laugh
But I don't wanna go there anymore

I Almost Do

## Audio

**I Almost Do** is the seventh track of Taylor's fourth album Red. It was released on October 22, 2012.

## Meaning and Background

> "The song 'I Almost Do' is a song I wrote about the conflict that you feel when you want to take someone back and you want to give it another try, but you know you can't. You can't because it's hurt you so deeply that you know that you couldn't bear to go through that again. So you're sitting there and wondering where they are and hope that they think about you  and that you're almost picking up the phone call, but you just can't. I think I needed to write this song in order to not call that person actually. I think that writing the song was what I did instead of picking up the phone."
>
> - Taylor about I Almost Do

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I bet this time of night, you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window
Looking out at the city
And I bet sometimes you wonder about me

**[Chorus]**
And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know tha
Every time I don’t
I almost do, I almost do

**[Verse 2]**
I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
‘Cause each time you reach out, there’s no reply
I bet it never, ever occurred to you
That I can’t say hello to you
And risk another goodbye

**[Chorus]**
And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Every time I don’t
I almost do, I almost do

**[Bridge]**
Oh, we made quite a mess, babe
It’s probably better off this way
And I confess, babe
In my dreams, you’re touching my face
And asking me if I want to try again with you
And I almost do

**[Chorus]**
And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Every time I don’t
I almost do, I almost do

**[Outro]**
I bet this time of night, you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window
Looking out at the city
And I hope sometimes you wonder about me
Stay Stay Stay

## Audio

**Stay Stay Stay** is the ninth track of Taylor's fourth album Red. It was released on October 22, 2012.

## Meaning and Background

> "The song 'Stay Stay Stay' is a song that I wrote based on what I've seen of real relationships, where it's not perfect, there are moments where you're just so sick of that person, you get into a stupid fight. It's still worth it to stay in it. There's something about it that you can't live without. In the bridge it says, 'I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life' and I think that's what probably the key to finding the one, you just want to hang out with them forever."
>
> - Taylor about Stay Stay Stay

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night
I threw my phone across the room, at you
I was expecting some dramatic turn away
But you stayed
This morning, I said we should talk about it
'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
And said, "Okay, let's talk"
And I said

**[Chorus]**
Stay, stay, stay
I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay

**[Verse 2]**
Before you, I'd only dated self-indulgent takers
Who took all of their problems out on me
But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing
And I love you because you have given me
No choice but to

**[Chorus]**
Stay, stay, stay
I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay

**[Bridge]**
You took the time to memorize me
My fears, my hopes, and dreams
I just like hanging out with you, all the time
All those times that you didn't leave, it's been occurring to me
I'd like to hang out with you, for my whole life

**[Breakdown]**
Stay, and I'll be loving you for quite some time
No one else is gonna love me when I get mad, mad, mad
So I think that it's best if we both stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay!

**[Chorus]**
Stay, stay, stay
I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay!

**[Outro]**
Stay, stay, stay
I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay
(Ha-ha-ha, it's so fun)

You Are in Love

## Audio

**You Are in Love** is the fifteenth track of Taylor's fifth album 1989. It was released on October 27, 2014.

## Meaning and Background

> I wrote it with my friend Jack Antonoff whose dating my friend Lena. Jack sent me this track to this song, that was just an instrumental track he was working on.  Immediately I knew what the song needed to be. I wrote it as kind of a commentary on what their relationship has been like. It's me looking in and going this happened, then that happened and that happened and that's how you knew you guys you're in love. You're supposed to be friends and you're supposed to be in love and it's the whole package deal.
>
> - Taylor about You Are in Love

> I wrote that song about things that Lena has told me about her and Jack. That's just basically stuff she's told me.
>
> - Taylor about You Are in Love

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
One look, dark room
Meant just for you
Time moved too fast, you play it back
Buttons on a coat, lighthearted joke
No proof, not much, but you saw enough
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
The light reflects the chain on your neck
He says, "Look up"
And your shoulders brush
No proof, one touch and you felt enough

**[Chorus]**
You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love

**[Verse 2]**
Morning, his place
Burnt toast, Sunday
You keep his shirt, he keeps his word
For once, you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much, but it said enough
You kiss on sidewalks
You fight and you talk
One night, he wakes
Strange look on his face
Pauses, then says, "You're my best friend"
And you knew what it was, he is in love

**[Chorus]**
You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love

**[Bridge]**
And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round
And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown
And you understand now
Why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

**[Chorus]**
'Cause you can hear it in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love
You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love
You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (way home), way home (way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (lights out), lights out (lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love

**[Verse 1]**
This is wrong but I can't help but feel like
There ain’t nothing more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row
Scream your name

**[Chorus]**
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

**[Verse 2]**
Good morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today
You'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face
I'd be counting down the ways to see you
You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row Scream your name

**[Chorus]**
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

**[Bridge]**
You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio

**[Chorus]**
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

**[Outro]**
Sweet, sweet superstar

The Archer

## Lyric Video

**The Archer** is the fifth track of Taylor Swift's seventh album Lover. It was released on August 23, 2019, as the albums first and only promotional single.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor said the following about the song: "With my songwriting, I wanted to take a moment, a snapshot of a feeling and encapsulate the feeling of love, the fear that goes along with finding something really good. Like maybe we can't trust a good feeling. That's what I wrote The Archer about."

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Combat
I’m ready for combat
I say I don’t want that
But what if I do?
‘Cause cruelty wins in the movies
I’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train
I ride off alone
I never grew up, it’s getting so old
Help me hold on to you

**[Chorus]**
I’ve been the archer.
I’ve been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling?
But who could stay?

**[Verse 2]**
Dark side
I search for your dark side.
But what if I’m all right, right, right, right here?
And I cut off my nose
Just to spite my face
Then I hate my reflection for years and years

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I wake in the night
I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire
Invisible smoke
And all of my heroes die all alone
Help me hold onto you

**[Chorus]**
I’ve been the archer.
I’ve been the prey
Screaming who could ever leave me darling?
But who could stay?

**[Bridge]**
‘Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through me
Can you see right through me?
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me

**[Pre-Chorus]**
All the king’s horses
All the king’s men
Couldn’t put me together again
‘Cause all of my enemies
Started out friends
Help me hold onto you

**[Chorus]**
I’ve been the archer
I’ve been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling?
But who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay
You could stay

**[Outro]**
Combat
I’m ready for combat
