  • All Too Well

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2012

    I walked through the door with you
    The air was cold
    But something about it felt like home somehow
    And I, left my scarf there at your sister’s house
    And you’ve still got it in your drawer even now

    Oh, your sweet disposition
    And my wide-eyed gaze
    We’re singing in the car, getting lost upstate
    Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
    And I can picture it after all these days

    And I know it’s long gone and that magic’s not here no more
    And I might be okay but I’m not fine at all

    ‘Cause there we are again on that little town street
    You almost ran the red ’cause you were lookin’ over at me
    Wind in my hair, I was there
    I remember it all too well

    Photo album on the counter
    Your cheeks were turning red
    You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
    And your mother’s telling stories ’bout you on the tee-ball team
    You told me ’bout your past thinking your future was me

    And I know it’s long gone and there was nothing else I could do
    And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to

    ‘Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
    We’re dancing ’round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
    Down the stairs, I was there
    I remember it all too well, yeah

    And maybe we got lost in translation
    Maybe I asked for too much
    But maybe this thing was a masterpiece ’til you tore it all up
    Running scared, I was there
    I remember it all too well

    And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
    So casually cruel in the name of being honest
    I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
    ‘Cause I remember it all, all, all
    Too well

    Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it
    I’d like to be my old self again
    But I’m still trying to find it
    After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
    Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
    But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
    ‘Cause it reminds you of innocence
    And it smells like me
    You can’t get rid of it
    ‘Cause you remember it all too well, yeah

    ‘Cause there we are again when I loved you so
    Back before you lost the one real thing you’ve ever known
    It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

    Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all
    Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
    It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

  • Enchanted

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2010

    There I was again tonight
    Forcing laughter, faking smiles
    Same old tired, lonely place
    Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
    Vanished when I saw your face
    All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you

    Your eyes whispered, “Have we met?”
    ‘Cross the room your silhouette
    Starts to make its way to me
    The playful conversation starts
    Counter all your quick remarks
    Like passing notes in secrecy

    And it was enchanting to meet you
    All I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you

    This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go
    I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
    I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
    I was enchanted to meet you

    The lingering question kept me up
    2 AM, who do you love?
    I wonder ’til I’m wide awake
    And now I’m pacing back and forth
    Wishing you were at my door
    I’d open up and you would say, “Hey”

    It was enchanting to meet you
    All I know is, I was enchanted to meet you

    This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go
    I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
    I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
    That this night is flawless, don’t you let it go
    I’m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
    I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
    I was enchanted to meet you

    This is me praying that
    This was the very first page
    Not where the story line ends
    My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again
    These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon
    I was enchanted to meet you
    Please don’t be in love with someone else
    Please don’t have somebody waiting on you
    Please don’t be in love with someone else
    Please don’t have somebody waiting on you

    This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go
    I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
    I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
    This night is flawless, don’t you let it go
    I’m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
    I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
    I was enchanted to meet you

    Please don’t be in love with someone else
    Please don’t have somebody waiting on you

  • Daylight

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2019

    My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
    Everyone looked worse in the light
    There are so many lines that I’ve crossed unforgiven
    I’ll tell you the truth, but never goodbye

    I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
    I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
    I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
    And now I see daylight, I only see daylight

    Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky
    And so I became the butt of the joke
    I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
    Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke
    Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
    Maybe I’ve stormed out of every single room in this town
    Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now
    It’s brighter now, now

    I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
    (I can never look away)
    I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
    (Things will never be the same)
    I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
    (Now I’m wide awake)
    And now I see daylight (daylight), I only see daylight (daylight)

    I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
    I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

    And I can still see it all (in my mind)
    All of you, all of me (intertwined)
    I once believed love would be (black and white)
    But it’s golden (golden)
    And I can still see it all (in my head)
    Back and forth from New York (sneaking in your bed)
    I once believed love would be (burning red)
    But it’s golden
    Like daylight, like daylight
    Like daylight, daylight

    I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
    (I can never look away)
    And I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
    (Things will never be the same)
    I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
    (Now I’m wide awake)
    And now I see daylight (I see daylight), I only see daylight (ah)

    I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
    I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight (ah)
    I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
    I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

    Like daylight
    It’s golden like daylight
    You gotta step into the daylight and let it go
    Just let it go, let it go

    I wanna be defined by the things that I love
    Not the things I hate
    Not the things I’m afraid of, I’m afraid of
    Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night
    I, I just think that
    You are what you love

  • You Belong With Me

    Taylor Swift

    You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she’s upset
    She’s going off about something that you said
    ‘Cause she doesn’t get your humor like I do
    I’m in the room, it’s a typical Tuesday night
    I’m listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like
    And she’ll never know your story like I do


    ‘Cause she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
    She’s Cheer Captain and I’m on the bleachers
    Dreaming ’bout the day when you wake up and find
    That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time


    If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
    Been here all along, so why can’t you see?
    You belong with me, you belong with me

    Walk in the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
    I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be
    Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
    Hey, isn’t this easy?
    And you’ve got a smile that can light up this whole town
    I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
    You say you’re fine, I know you better than that
    Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

  • I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2024

    I can read your mind
    “She’s having the time of her life”
    There in her glittering prime
    The lights refract sequined stars off her silhouette every night
    I can show you lies (one, two, three, four)

    ‘Cause I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my shit
    They said, “Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it” and I did
    Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die
    He said he’d love me all his life
    But that life was too short
    Breaking down, I hit the floor
    All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting “More”
    I was grinning like I’m winning, I was hitting my marks
    ‘Cause I can do it with a broken heart (one, two, three, four)

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

    I can hold my breath
    I’ve been doing it since he left
    I keep finding his things in drawers
    Crucial evidence, I didn’t imagine the whole thing
    I’m sure I can pass this test (one, two, three, four)

    ‘Cause I’m a real tough kid, I can handle my shit
    They said, “Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it” and I did
    Lights, camera, bitch smile, in stilettos for miles
    He said he’d love me for all time
    But that time was quite short
    Breaking down, I hit the floor
    All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting “More”
    I was grinning like I’m winning, I was hitting my marks
    ‘Cause I can do it with a broken heart (one, two, three)

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

    You know you’re good when you can even do it
    With a broken heart
    You know you’re good, I’m good
    ‘Cause I’m miserable
    And nobody even knows
    Try and come for my job

  • Wildest Dreams

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2014

    He said, “Let’s get out of this town
    Drive out of the city, away from the crowds”
    I thought Heaven can’t help me now
    Nothing lasts forever
    But this is gonna take me down

    He’s so tall and handsome as hell
    He’s so bad, but he does it so well
    I can see the end as it begins
    My one condition is

    Say you’ll remember me
    Standing in a nice dress
    Staring at the sunset, babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you’ll see me again
    Even if it’s just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha
    Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

    I said, “No one has to know what we do”
    His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
    And his voice is a familiar sound
    Nothing lasts forever
    But this is getting good now

    He’s so tall and handsome as hell
    He’s so bad, but he does it so well
    And when we’ve had our very last kiss
    My last request is

    Say you’ll remember me
    Standing in a nice dress
    Staring at the sunset, babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you’ll see me again
    Even if it’s just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (ha-ah, ha)
    Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

    You’ll see me in hindsight
    Tangled up with you all night
    Burning it down
    Someday when you leave me
    I bet these memories
    Follow you around

    You’ll see me in hindsight
    Tangled up with you all night
    Burning (burning) it (it) down (down)
    Someday when you leave me
    I bet these memories
    Follow (follow) you (you) around (follow you around)

    Say you’ll remember me
    Standing in a nice dress
    Staring at the sunset, babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you’ll see me again
    Even if it’s just pretend

    Say you’ll remember me
    Standing in a nice dress
    Staring at the sunset, babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you’ll see me again
    Even if it’s just (pretend, just pretend) in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (ah)
    In your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha
    Even if it’s just stayed in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha
    In your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

  • Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2024

    … The who’s who of “Who’s that?” is poised for the attack
    But my bare hands paved their paths
    You don’t get to tell me about sad

    … If you wanted me dead, you should’ve just said
    Nothing makes me feel more alive

    … So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
    Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
    “Who’s afraid of little old me?”
    You should be

    … The scandal was contained
    The bullet had just grazed
    At all costs, keep your good name
    You don’t get to tell me you feel bad

    … Is it a wonder I broke? Let’s hear one more joke
    Then we could all just laugh until I cry

    … So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
    Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
    “Who’s afraid of little old me?”
    I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
    “Don’t you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth”
    Who’s afraid of little old me?
    Well, you should be

    … you should be
    (You should be) you should be
    You should be (you should be)
    You should be (you should be)
    You should be

    … So tell me everything is not about me
    But what if it is?
    Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me
    But what if they did?

    … I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
    You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
    So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs
    I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?
    That I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn
    That I’m fearsome and I’m wretched and I’m wrong
    Put narcotics into all of my songs
    And that’s why you’re still singing along

    … So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
    Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
    “Who’s afraid of little old me?”
    I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
    “Don’t you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth”
    Who’s afraid of little old me?
    Well, you should be

    … you should be
    (You should be) you should be
    ‘Cause you lured me (you should be)
    And you hurt me (you should be)
    And you taught me

    … You caged me and then you called me crazy
    I am what I am ’cause you trained me
    So who’s afraid of me?
    Who’s afraid of little old me?
    Who’s afraid of little old me?

  • cardigan

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2020

    Vintage tee, brand new phone
    High heels on cobblestones
    When you are young, they assume you know nothing
    Sequin smile, black lipstick
    Sensual politics
    When you are young, they assume you know nothing

    But I knew you
    Dancin’ in your Levis
    Drunk under a streetlight, I
    I knew you
    Hand under my sweatshirt
    Baby, kiss it better, I
    And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
    Under someone’s bed
    You put me on and said I was your favorite

    A friend to all is a friend to none
    Chase two girls, lose the one
    When you are young, they assume you know nothin’

    But I knew you
    Playing hide-and-seek and
    Giving me your weekends, I
    I knew you
    Your heartbeat on the High Line
    Once in 20 lifetimes, I
    And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
    Under someone’s bed
    You put me on and said I was your favorite

    To kiss in cars and downtown bars
    Was all we needed
    You drew stars around my scars
    But now I’m bleedin’

    ‘Cause I knew you
    Steppin’ on the last train
    Marked me like a bloodstain, I
    I knew you
    Tried to change the ending
    Peter losing Wendy, I
    I knew you
    Leavin’ like a father
    Running like water, I
    And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

    But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss
    I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
    The smell of smoke would hang around this long
    ‘Cause I knew everything when I was young
    I knew I’d curse you for the longest time
    Chasin’ shadows in the grocery line
    I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired
    And you’d be standin’ in my front porch light

    And I knew you’d come back to me
    You’d come back to me
    And you’d come back to me
    And you’d come back

    And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
    Under someone’s bed
    You put me on and said I was your favorite

  • Gorgeous

    Song by Taylor Swift

    Gorgeous

    You should take it as a compliment
    That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
    You should think about the consequence
    Of your magnetic field being a little too strong

    And I got a boyfriend, he’s older than us
    He’s in the club doin’ I don’t know what
    You’re so cool, it makes me hate you so much
    (I hate you so much)

    Whisky on ice, Sunset and Vine
    You’ve ruined my life, by not being mine

    You’re so gorgeous
    I can’t say anything to your face
    ‘Cause look at your face
    And I’m so furious
    At you for making me feel this way
    But what can I say?
    You’re gorgeous

    You should take it as a compliment
    That I’m talking to everyone here but you
    (But you, but you)
    And you should think about the consequence
    Of you touching my hand in the darkened room
    (Dark room, dark room)

    If you’ve got a girlfriend, I’m jealous of her
    But if you’re single, that’s honestly worse
    ‘Cause you’re so gorgeous it actually hurts (honey, it hurts)

    Ocean blue eyes, lookin’ in mine
    I feel like I might sink and drown and die

    You’re so gorgeous
    I can’t say anything to your face
    ‘Cause look at your face
    And I’m so furious
    At you for making me feel this way
    But what can I say?
    You’re gorgeous

    You make me so happy, it turns back to sad
    There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
    You are so gorgeous, it makes me so mad
    You make me so happy, it turns back to sad
    There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
    Guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats
    Alone
    Unless you wanna come along?

    You’re so gorgeous
    I can’t say anything to your face (to your face)
    ‘Cause look at your face (at your face)
    And I’m so furious (I’m so furious)
    At you for making me feel this way (feel this way)
    But what can I say? (I say)
    You’re gorgeous

    You make me so happy, it turns back to sad
    There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
    You are so gorgeous, it makes me so mad
    You’re gorgeous
    You make me so happy, it turns back to sad
    There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have
    You are so gorgeous, it makes me so mad
    You’re gorgeous

  • So High School

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2024

    I feel so high school every time I look at you
    I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you

    And in a blink of a crinkling eye
    I’m sinking, our fingers entwined
    Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
    Tell me ’bout the first time you saw me
    I’ll drink what you think, and I’m high
    From smoking your jokes all damn night
    The brink of a wrinkle in time
    Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

    I’m watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
    Your friends are around, so be quiet
    I’m trying to stifle my sighs
    ‘Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you
    But look at you
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

    Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? (Kill me)
    It’s just a game, but really (really)
    I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (all three)
    Get my car door, isn’t that sweet? (That sweet)
    Then pull me to the backseat (backseat)
    No one’s ever had me (had me) not like you

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

    I feel like laughing in the middle of practice
    Do that impression you did of your dad again
    I’m hearing voices like a madman

    And in a blink of a crinkling eye
    I’m sinking, our fingers entwined
    Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights
    Tell me ’bout the first time you saw me
    I’ll drink what you think, and I’m high
    From smoking your jokes all damn night
    The brink of a wrinkle in time
    Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

    I’m watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night
    Your friends are around, so be quiet
    I’m trying to stifle my sighs
    ‘Cause I feel so high school (I feel so high school)
    Every time I look at you
    But look at you

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