Red

Written by Taylor Swift

loving him iS like driving a new maserati down a dead end street

faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall

like the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all

losing him was blue, like i’d never known

missing him was dark gray, all alone

forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

but loving him was red

loving him was red

touching him was like realizing All you ever wanted was right there in front of you

memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer

regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that stronG

losing him was blue, like i’d never known

missing him was dark gray, all alone

forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

but loving him was red, oh red, burning red

remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

tell myself it's time now gotta let go

but moving on from him is impossible when i still see it all in my head…in burning red

burning, it was red

losing him was blue, like i’d never known

missing him was dark gray, all alone

forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

cause loving him was red, yeah yeah red, burning red

and that’s why he’s spinning around in my head

comes back to me in burning red

loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street

Treacherous

Written by Taylor Swift, Dan Wilson

put your lips close to mine

as long as they don't touch

out of focus, eye to eye

till the gravity's too much

and i’ll do anything you say

if you say it With yOur haNds

and i’d be smarT to walk away

but you're quick Sand

zCHORUS

This slOpe is treacherous

this Path is reckless

This slope Is treacherous

and i, i, i Like it

i can't decide if it's a choice

getting swept away

i hear the sound of my own voice

asking you to stay

and alL we are Is skin and bone

Trained to get along

forever going with the flow

but you're friction

REPEAT CHORUS

two headlightS shine thrOugh the sleepless night and i will…

get you a, get you alone

your name has echoed through my mind and i just…

think you should, think you should know

that nothing safe is worth the driVe and i would...

follow you, follow you homE

i'll follow you, follow you home

this hope is tReacherous

this daydream is dangerous

this hope is treacherous

i, i, i... i, i, i… i, i, i…

two headlights shine through the sleepless night and i will...

get you, i’ll get you alone

your name has echoed through my mind and i just...

think you should, think you should know

that nothing safe is worth the drive and i would...

follow you, follow you home

i'll follow you, follow you home

i'll follow you, follow you home

i'll follow you, follow you home

this slope is treacherous

i, i, i like it

I Knew You Were Trouble

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback

once upon a time, a feW mistakes ago

i was in your sigHts, you got mE aloNe

You found me, you fOund me, you foUnd me…

i gueSs you didn't cAre and i guess i liked that

and i When i fell hard, you took a step back

without Me, without mE, without me…

and he's long gone when he's next to me

and i realize the blame is on me, cause

CHORUS

i knew you were trouble when you walkeD in

so shAme on me Now

flew me to plaCes i’d never been till you put me down

oh I knew you were trouble when you walked iN

so shame on me now

flew me to places i’d never been

now i’m lyinG on the cold hard ground

oh oh trouble, trouble, trouble

oh oh trouble, trouble, trouble

no apologies, he'll never see you cry

pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why

you're drowning, you’re drowning, you’re drowning…

and i heard you moved on from whispers on the street

a new notch in your belt is all i’ll ever be

and now i see, now i see, now i see…

he was long gone when he met me

and i realize the joke is on me

hey!

REPEAT CHORUS

and the saddest fear 

comes creeping in 

that you never loved me 

or her...or anyone...or anything

yeah

REPEAT CHORUS

i knew you were trouble when you walked in

trouble, trouble, trouble

i knew you were trouble when you walked in

trouble, trouble, trouble

All Too Well

Written by Taylor Swift, Liz Rose

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 

about you on the tee ball team

you taught me about 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

well maybe we got lost in translation

maybe i asked for too much

but maybe this thing was a masterpiece

till 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

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

Holy Ground

Written by Taylor Swift

i Was reminiscing just tHe othEr day

while haviNg coffee all alone

and lord it took me awaY

back tO a first glance feeling on new york time

back when yoU fit my poems like a perfect rhyme

took off faster than a green light, go

yeah you skip the Conversation when you Already know

i left a note on the door with a joke we'd Made

and that was thE firsT day

and darling it was gOod

never looking down

and righT tHere whEre we Stood

was Holy ground

spinning like girl in a brand new dress we had this big wide city all tO ourselves

We block the noise with the sound of “I need you”

aNd for the first time i had Something to lose

and i guess we fell apart in the usual way

and the story's got Dust on every page

but sometimes i wonder how you think about it now

and i see your face in every crowd

cause darling it was good

never looking down

and right there where we stood

was holy ground

tonight i’m gonna dance

for all that we've been through

but i don't want to dance

if i’m not dancing with you

tonight i’m gonna dance

like you were in this room

but i don't want to dance

if i’m not dancing with you

it was good

never looking down

and right there where we stood

was holy ground

tonight i’m gonna dance

for all that we've been through

but i don't want to dance

if i’m not dancing with you

tonight i’m gonna dance

like you were in this room

but i don't want to dance

if i’m not dancing with you

The Lucky One

Written by Taylor Swift

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 60s queen

another name goes up in lights

like Diamonds in the sky...

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...

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

another name goes up in lights

you Wonder if you'll make it out alive

REPEAT CHORUS

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...

cause now my name is up in lights

but i think you got it right

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...

REPEAT CHORUS

yacht club party, pretending to 

be a duchess and a prince

it was the best night

never would forget how he moved

the whole place

was dressed to the nines

and we were dancing, dancing

like we're made of starlight, starlight

like we're made of starlight, starlight

he said, “look at you, worrying too much about things you can't change.

you'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way.”

he was trying to skip rocks on the ocean, saying to me

“don't you see the starlight, starlight? don't you dream impossible things?”

like oh my, what a marvelous tune

it was the best night

never would forget how he moved

the whole place

was dressed to the nines

and we were dancing, dancing

like we're made of starlight, starlight

like we're made of starlight, starlight

ooh ooh, he's talking crazy

ooh ooh, dancing with me

ooh ooh, we could get married

have ten kids and teach them how to dream

oh my, what a marvelous tune

it was the best night

never would forget how he moved

the whole place

was dressed to the nines

and we were dancing, dancing

like we're made of starlight, starlight

like we're made of starlight, starlight

like we're made of starlight, starlight

like we dream impossible dreams

like starlight, starlight

like we dream impossible dreams

don’t you see the starlight, starlight?

don't you dream impossible things?

REPEAT CHORUS

but on a wednesday in a cafe

i watched it begin again
