Taylor Swift Lyrics http://foxhugh.com/communication/taylor-swift-lyrics/ 1) Love Story We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd And say, "Hello," Little did I know... That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" And I was crying on the staircase Begging you, "Please don't go" And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes". So I sneak out to the garden to see you. We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while. Oh, oh. 'cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" But you were everything to me, I was begging you, "Please don't go" And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes". Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult but it's real. Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.

1) Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you.I close my eyes and the flashback starts:I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.See you make your way through the crowdAnd say, "Hello,"Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"And I was crying on the staircaseBegging you, "Please don't go"And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knewSo close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.Oh, oh.

'cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"But you were everything to me,I was begging you, "Please don't go"And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.This love is difficult but it's real.Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh.

I got tired of waitingWondering if you were ever coming around.My faith in you was fadingWhen I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said...

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.I keep waiting for you but you never come.Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.I love you, and that's all I really know.I talked to your dad ‒ go pick out a white dressIt's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

2)Fearless

There's somethin' 'bout the wayThe street looks when it's just rainedThere's a glow off the pavementyou walk me to the carAnd you know I wanna ask you to dance right thereIn the middle of the parking lotYeahOh yeah

We're drivin' down the roadI wonder if you knowI'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up nowBut you're just so coolRun your hands through your hairAbsent mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than thisYou take my hand and drag me head firstFearlessAnd I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dressFearless

So baby drive slow'til we run out of road in this one horse townI wanna stay right here in this passenger's seatYou put your eyes on me

Well you stood there with me in the doorwayMy hands shakeI'm not usually this way butYou pull me in and I'm a little more braveIt's the first kiss,It's flawless,Really something,It's fearless.

Oh yeahCause' I don't know how it gets better than thisYou take my hand and drag me head firstFearlessAnd I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dressFearless

http://foxhugh.com/communication/taylor-swift-lyrics/

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale,I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,Lead her up the stairwellThis ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,I was a dreamer before you went and let me down,Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around

Baby I was naive,Got lost in your eyesAnd never really had a chanceMy mistake, I didn't know to be in loveYou had to fight to have the upper handI had so many dreamsAbout you and meHappy endingsNow I know

[Chorus:]I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale,I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,Lead her up the stairwellThis ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,I was a dreamer before you went and let me down,Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around

And there you are on your knees,Begging for forgiveness, begging for meJust like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale,I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me wellThis is a big world, that was a small townThere in my rear view mirror disappearing nowAnd it's too late for you and your white horseNow it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoaTry and catch me nowOh, it's too lateTo catch me nowMeaning of White Horse1) 2) 3) 4)

http://foxhugh.com/communication/taylor-swift-lyrics/

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doorsIt's the morning of your very first dayYou say "Hi" to your friends you ain't seen in a whileTry and stay out of everybody's wayIt's your freshman year and you're gonna be hereFor the next four years in this townHoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say"You know I haven't seen you around, before"

'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteenFeeling like there nothing to figure outWell count to ten, take it inThis is life before you know who you're gonna beFifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named AbigailAnd soon enough you're best friendsLaughing at the other girls who think they're so coolWe'll be out of here as soon as we canAnd then you're on your very first date and hes got a carAnd you're feeling like flyingAnd you're mommas waiting up and you think hes the oneAnd you're dancing round your room when the night endsWhen the night ends

'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themWhen you're fifteen and your first kissMakes your head spin round butIn your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy of the football teamBut I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wantedWish you could go back and tell yourself what you know nowBack then I swore I was gonna marry him somedayBut I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had to a boyWho changed his mind and we both cried

'cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fallIve found that time can heal most anythingAnd you just might find who you're supposed to beI didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

5) You Belong With Me

You're on the phonewith your girlfriend ‒ she's upsetShe's going offabout something that you said'cause she doesn't get your humor like I do.I'm in my room ‒ it's a typical Tuesday night.I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like.She'll never know your story like I do.

But she wears short skirtsI wear t-shirtsShe's cheer captainAnd I'm on the bleachersDreaming about the day when you wake up and findThat what you're looking for has been here the whole time.

If you could seeThat I'm the oneWho understands youBeen here all alongSo why can't you seeyou belong with me,You belong with me?

Walking the streetsWith you and your worn out jeansI can't help thinkingThis is how it ought to be.Laughing on a park benchThinking to myself"Hey, isn't this easy?"

And you've got a smileThat could light up this whole town.I haven't seen it in awhileSince she brought you down.You say you're fine -

I know you better than that.Hey, what you doingWith a girl like that?

She wears high heels,I wear sneakers.She's cheer captain,And I'm on the bleachers.Dreaming about the day when you wake up and findthat what you're looking for has been here the whole time.

If you could seeThat I'm the oneWho understands youBeen here all alongSo why can't you seeyou belong with me?Standing by youWaiting at your backdoor.All this timeHow could you not know, babyYou belong with me,You belong with me?

[Instrumental]

Oh, I remember you were driving to my houseIn the middle of the night.I'm the one who makes you laughWhen you know you're about to cry.I know your favorite songs,And you tell me about your dreams.Think I know where you belong,Think I know it's with me.

Can't you seeThat I'm the oneWho understands you?Been here all alongSo why can't you seeYou belong with me?Standing by youWaiting at your backdoor.All this timeHow could you not know, baby,You belong with me,You belong with me?

You belong with me.

6) Teardrops On My Guitar

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't seeThat I want and I'm needing everything that we should beI'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks aboutAnd she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funny [radio version]Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny [CD version]And I can't even see anyone when he's with meHe says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitarThe only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing starHe's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?And there he goes, so perfectly,The kind of flawless I wish I could beShe better hold him tight, give him all her loveLook in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause

[Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the lightI'll put his picture down and maybeGet some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitarThe only one who's got enough of me to break my heartHe's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I doHe's the time taken up, but there's never enoughAnd he's all that I need to fall into.

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.Meaning of Teardrops On My Guitar1) 2)

7) Back To December

I'm so glad you made time to see me.How's life? Tell me how's your family.I haven't seen them in a while.You've been good, busier than ever,We small talk, work and the weather,Your guard is up and I know why.Because the last time you saw meIs still burned in the back of your mind.You gave me roses and I left them there to die.

So this is me swallowing my pride,Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"And I go back to December all the time.It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven't been sleeping,Staying up, playing back myself leavin'.When your birthday passed and I didn't call.And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,I watched you laughing from the passenger side.Realized that I loved you in the fall.

And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mindYou gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye".

So this is me swallowing my prideStanding in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."And I go back to December all the time.It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mindI go back to December all the time.

I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile,So good to me, so rightAnd how you held me in your arms that September night --The first time you ever saw me cry.

Maybe this is wishful thinking,Probably mindless dreaming,But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.

So if the chain is on your door I understand.

But this is me swallowing my prideStanding in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night."And I go back to December...It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,Wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine.I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind

I go back to December all the time.All the time.Meaning of Back To December1) 2) 3)

8) Speak Now

I am not the kind of girlWho should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasionBut you are not the kind of boyWho should be marrying the wrong girl

I sneak in and see your friendsAnd her snotty little family all dressed in pastelAnd she is yelling at a bridesmaidSomewhere back inside a roomWearing a gown shaped like a pastry

This is surely not what you thought it would beI lose myself in a daydreamWhere I stand and say

[Chorus:]Don’t say "Yes", run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back doorDon’t wait or say a single vowYou need to hear me outAnd they said, "Speak now"

Fond gestures are exchangedAnd the organ starts to playA song that sounds like a death marchAnd I am hiding in the curtainsIt seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be

She floats down the aisle like a pageant queenBut I know you wish it was me,

Page 11: Taylor Swift Lyrics

You wish it was me,Don’t you?

[Chorus:]Don’t say "Yes", run away now,I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back door.Don’t wait or say a single vow,You need to hear me out,And they said, "Speak now".Don’t say "Yes", run away now,I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back door.Don’t wait or say a single vow,Your time is running out,And they said, "Speak now".

Oh, la, laOh, ohSay a single vow

I hear the preacher say, "Speak now or forever hold your peace"There’s the silence, there’s my last chance.I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me.Horrified looks from everyone in the roomBut I’m only looking at you.

I am not the kind of girlWho should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasionBut you are not the kind of boyWho should be marrying the wrong girl

[Chorus:]So, don’t say "Yes", run away now,I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back door.Don’t wait or say a single vow,You need to hear me out,And they said, "Speak now".And you’ll say "Let’s run away now,I’ll meet you when I’m out of my tux at the back door.Baby, I didn’t say my vows,So glad you were aroundWhen they said, "Speak now".Meaning of Speak Now1) 2)
