Perfect by One Direction with Lyrics

Today's song is the meaning of the new song by One Direction called "Perfect" from their album Made In The A.M., probably written by Harry Styles.  It's an answer to Taylor Swifts' 1989 album and all about her.  It is surprisingly a nice song.

It really reminds me of "Wildest Dreams". We see why the relationship did not work, but from Harry's perspective. Basically Harry wasn't ready to commit, "he's not good at making promises". He might not be her "knight in shining armor", the one she takes "home to mother", or "brings you flowers". He won't be the person she puts her heart into, and his "arms won't hold you anytime you want to".  But he will show her a good time, "be the one tonight" "causing trouble in hotel rooms". They can have "secret little rendezvous", doing "things you know that we shouldn't do".  They drove at midnight "with the windows down".  This is a reference to the song "Style".  They went to "places we can't even pronounce".  This made me laugh, they were globetrotting like crazy and shows his personality. Sounds a little bit like "I Know Places" right? Where Taylor talks about being able to hide from the paparazzi.  He does call Taylor out and says cameras will flash "every time that we go out" and if she needs "someone to write your breakup songs about", he will be fine with that.  This is probably the meanest comment he said about her in the song, but it is not really mean.  He says he was fine with the cameras and the songs, he knows what he is getting into when he starts dating her.   Basically the whole song is saying they were never going to get "Out of the Woods" because he didn't want to commit. If she wanted to have fun that would be perfect.

They just wanted different things, she wanted commitment, he didn't.

I've become more of a fan of One Direction over the years, this is a pretty good song. I have listened to it like 20 times already. It will be interesting to see if there are more songs about Taylor on the album...

  

Perfect Lyrics
One Direction

[Verse 1: Louis]
I might never be your knight in shining armor
I might never be the one you take home to mother
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
But I can be the one, be the one tonight

[Refrain: Liam]
When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious (Oh, yeah)
Girl, I hope you’re sure
What you're looking for
‘Cause I'm not good at making promises

[Chorus: Harry]
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do
Baby, I'm perfect
Baby, I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby, you're perfect
Baby, you're perfect
So let's start right now

[Verse 2: Niall]
I might never be the hands you put your heart in
Or the arms that hold you any time you want them
But that don’t mean that we can’t live here in the moment
‘Cause I can be the one you love from time to time

[Refrain: Liam]
When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious (Oh, yeah)
Girl, I hope you’re sure
What you're looking for
Cause I'm not good at making promises

[Chorus: Harry]
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do
Baby, I'm perfect
Baby, I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby, you're perfect
Baby, you're perfect
So let's start right now

[Bridge]
And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out
(Oh, yeah)
And if you're looking for someone to write your breakup songs about
Baby, I'm perfect
Baby, we're perfect

[Chorus: Harry]
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do
Baby, I'm perfect
Baby, I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about
Baby, you're perfect
Baby, you're perfect
So let's start right now

Bad Blood Remix Lyrics

Bad Blood Remix feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics (Single)

[Chorus - Taylor Swift:]
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you’ve done
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!
Now we’ve got problems
And I don’t think we can solve ‘em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!

[Verse 1 - Kendrick Lamar:]
I can’t take it back, look where I’m at
We was on D like DOC, remember that?
My TLC was quite OD, ID my facts
Now POV of you and me, similar Iraq
I don’t hate you but I hate to critique, overrate you
These beats of a dark heart, use basslines to replace you
Take time and erase you, love don’t hear no more
No I don’t fear no more, better yet respect ain’t quite sincere no more

[Pre-Chorus - Taylor Swift:]
Oh, it’s so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I

[Chorus - Taylor Swift:]
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you’ve done
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!
Now we’ve got problems
And I don’t think we can solve ‘em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!

[Verse 2 - Kendrick Lamar:]
Remember when you tried to write me off?
Remember when you thought I’d take a loss?
Don’t you remember? You thought that I would need yah
Follow procedure, remember? Oh wait you got amnesia
It was my season for battle wounds, battle scars
Body bumped, bruised
Stabbed in the back; brimstone, fire jumping through
Still, all my life, I got money and power
And you gotta live with the bad blood now

[Pre-Chorus - Taylor Swift:]
Oh, it’s so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I

[Chorus - Taylor Swift:]
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you’ve done
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!
Now we’ve got problems
And I don’t think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!

[Bridge - Taylor Swift (Kendrick Lamar):]
Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts
(You forgive, you forget but you never let it go)
Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you love like that, blood runs cold!

[Chorus - Taylor Swift:]
Cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you’ve done

And I don’t think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we’ve got bad blood, hey!

Wonderland Lyrics

Wonderland Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin &Shellback

Flashing lights and we
Took a wrong turn and we
Fell down the rabbit hole...
You held on tight to me
'Cause nothing's as it seems
Spinning out of control
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
Didn't it all seem new and exciting
I felt your arms twisting around me
I should've slept with one eye opened at night...

We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better
In wonderland...In wonderland...

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...

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 the Cheshire cat's smile...
Didn't it all seem new and exciting
I felt your arms twisting around me
So fun a game, 'til somebody loses his mind...

Chorus

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 the wonderland
We both went mad...

We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better

In wonderland

New Romantics Lyrics

New Romantics Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin & Shellback

We're all bored
We're oh so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters-Trust me, mine is better
We're so young
That we're on the run to ruin
We play dumb
But we know exactly what we're doin'
We cry tears
Of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom...

'Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day it's like battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Baby, we're the new romantics
Come on, come on along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We are too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free

We're all here
The light and noise are blinding
We hang back, it's all in the timing
It's poker, he can't see in my face
But I'm about to play my ace
We need love
But all we want is danger
We team up, then switch sides like a record changer
The rumors are terrible and cruel
But, honey, most of them are true...

Chorus

Please take my hand and...
Please take me dancing...
Please leave me stranded...
It's so romantic...

Chorus

The best people in life are free...
So come on, come along with me...
The best people in life are free...

Bad Blood Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin & Shellback

Chorus:
'Cause baby now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look at what you've done
'Cause baby now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we got bad blood

Did you have to do this?
I was thinking that you could be trusted
Did you have to ruin what was shiny
Now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me?
Where I'm weak, baby
I couldn't breathe and
Rub it in so deep
Salt in the wound
Like you're laughing right at me
Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I...

Chorus

Did you think we'd be fine?
Still got scars on my back from
Your knife so
Don't think it's in the past
These kind of wounds
They last and they last now
Did you think it all through?
All these things will catch
Up to you and time can heal,
But this won't
So if you coming my way,
Just don't
Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I...

Chorus

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show.
You live like that, you
Live with ghosts...
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show.
You live like that, you
Live with ghosts...
If you love like that, blood runs cold

Wildest Dreams Lyrics

Wildest Dreams Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, & Shellback

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...

Chorus:
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...Wildest dreams

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
But my last request is...

Chorus

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

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories...
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
If it's just pretend

Clean Lyrics

Clean Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Taylor Swift & Imogen Heap

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown
Together died of thirst
It was months and months of back and forth
You're still all over me like I wine-stained dress
I can't wear anymore
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned to black like a perfect storm

Chorus:
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
By morning
Gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do
And the butterflies turned to dust
That covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
I let the flood carry away
All my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs
I screamed
So loud but no one heard a thing

Chorus

10 months sober
I must admit
Just because you're clean
Don't mean you miss it
10 months older
I won't give in
Now that I'm clean
I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown
Together died of thirst

Chorus

Chorus

Finally clean
I think I'm finally clean
I think I'm finally clean

I Know Places Lyrics

I Know Places Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift & Ryan Tedder

You stand with a hand on my waistline
Good to see that we're out in plain sight
I can hear them whisper as we pass by
Bad sign...
Something happens when everybody finds out
See the vultures circling, in dark clouds
Love's a fragile little flame
It could burn out, It could burn out
They got the cages, they got the boxes, and guns
They are the hunters, we are the foxes
And we run

Chorus:
Baby
I know places we won't be found and they'll be
Chasing our tails
Trying to track us down
Chasing us around
And I know places...

Lights flash
On we'll run for the fences
Let them say what they want
We won't hear it
Loose sleep, sink ships all the damn time, not this time
Just grab my hand
And don't ever drop it
My love
They are the hunters, we are the foxes
We run

Chorus

They are the hunters, we are the foxes
We run
Just grab my hand
And don't ever drop it
My love

Chorus

They take their shots Butwe're bulletproof
You know for me it's always you...
In the dead of night, your eyes so green
I know for you it's always me...

Welcome to New York Lyrics

Welcome To New York Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift and Ryan Tedder
Produced by Ryan Tedder, Taylor Swift, and Noel Zancanella

Walking through a crowd
The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats
Under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn’t heard before
And it said

Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

It’s a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

When we first dropped our bags
On apartment floors
Took our broken hearts
Put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls

Chorus

Like any great love
It keeps you guessing
Like any real love
It’s ever changing
Like any true love
It drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn’t change Anything, anything, anything…

I Wish You Would Lyrics

I Wish You Would Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift & Jack Antonoff

It's two A. M. in your car
Windows down, I pass my street
The memories start

You say it's in the past
And drive straight ahead
You think I'm gonna hate you now
'Cause you still don't know what I never said

I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did
And I wish you knew that
I'd never forget you as long as I'd live

Wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

It's two A. M. in my room
Headlights pass the window pane
I think of you

We were a crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run and hide
But it made us wanna turn back around

I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did
And I wish you knew that
I'd never forget you as long as I'd live

Wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
Wish you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore

Wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

I wish, I wish, I
I wish, I wish, I

You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad, mad love makes you come rushing
Stay back where you stood
I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would
I wish you would, I wish you would

It's two A. M., here we are
I see your face
And my voice in the dark

We were a crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run and hide
But it made us turn right back around

I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did
And I wish you knew that
I'd never forget you as long as I'd live

Wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did
And I wish you knew that
I'd never forget you as long as I'd live

Wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
Wish you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore

Wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad, mad love makes you come rushing
Stay back where you stood
I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would
I wish you would, I wish you would

I wish, I wish, I
I wish, I wish, I wish you would

This Love Lyrics

This Love Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift

Clear blue water
High tide 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 were just gone and gone, gone and gone
In silent screams, in wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this

Chorus:
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

Tossing, turning, struggled through the night with someone new
And I could go on and on, on and on
Lantern, burning, flickered through the night only for you
But you were still gone, gone, gone,
Been losing grip
On sinking ships
You showed up just in time

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
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free and
This love came back to me

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

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
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free and
This love came back to me

All You Had to Do Was Stay Lyrics

All You Had to Do Was Stay Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift & Max Martin

People like you always want back 
The love they gave away
And people like me want to believe you 
When you say you've changed
The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us 
Off the road

Chorus:
Hey- all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then
Why'd you had to go and lock me out 
When I let you in
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now it's just too late
Well, could've been easy 

All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay

Here you are now
Calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
People like you always want back 
The love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye

Chorus

All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay

Let me remind you... 
This was what you wanted
You ended it
You were all I wanted
But not like this...

Not like this
Not like this
Oh, all you had to do was stay

Chorus

Chorus

All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay

You Are In Love Lyrics

You Are In Love Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift & Jack Antonoff

One look
Dark room
Meant just for you
Time moved too fast
You played it back
Buttons
On a coat
Lightharded 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
You felt enough

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

Morning, his place
Burn toast, sunday
You keep his shirt
He keeps his word
And for once you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much
But it said enough
You kissed 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

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

So it goes
You two are dancing in a snow ball, 'round and 'round
And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown
You understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life try to put it in words...

'Cause you can hear 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
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
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 are in love

Style Lyrics

Style Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback & All Payami

Midnight
You come and pick me up
No head lights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames
Or paradise
Fade into view-oh
It's been a while since I have even
Heard from you
I should just tell you to leave
'Cause I
Know exactly where it leads
but I watch us go round and round
Each time

Chorus:
You got that James Dean
Day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic
Thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time.
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back
White t-shirt.
And I got that good girl thing
And a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down
We come back in every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style

So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes
On the road
Takes me home
Lights are off
He's taking
Off his coat
I say I heard -Oh
That you been out and about,
With some other girl
Some other girl
He says what you've heard is
True but I
Can't stop thinking about you
And I
I said I've been there too a
Few times

Chorus

Take me home
Just take me home
Just take me home

You got that James Dean
Day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic
Thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time.
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style

How You Get the Girl Lyrics

How You Get the Girl Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin & Shellback

Stand there like a ghost
Shaking from the rain
She'll open up the door
And say, are you insane
Say it's been a long 6 months
And you were too afraid 
To tell her what you want.
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl.

Chorus:Then you say
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart
I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl

Remind her how it used to be
With pictures in frames, 
Of kisses on cheeks
Tell her how you must've lost your mind
When you left her all alone,
And never told her why
And that's how it works
That's how you lost the girl

Chorus 

'Cause you know
That I don't want you to go...
Remind me how it used to be
Pictures in frames, Kisses on cheeks
And say you want me...

Chorus

And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl

And that's how it works
That's how you got the girl.

Blank Space Lyrics

Blank Space Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin & Shellback

Nice to meet you
Where you've been?
I could show you incredible things.
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my god
Look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, want to play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you've heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport, and my hand
I can make the bad guys good
For a weekend

Chorus:
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're
Reckless, we'll take this way
Too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space,
Baby
And I'll write your name.

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Slowly kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby, I'm your
Queen find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to
Come...

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
Oh my god
Who is she?
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back
Each time you leave
Cause darling I'm a nightmare
Dressed like a daydream

Chorus

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn
You...
Boy only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn
You...

Chorus

Out of the Woods Lyrics

Out of the Woods Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Taylor Swift/Jack Antonoff

Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking…

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good.
Are we out of the woods?

Looking at it now
Last December, we were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn’t quite forget
When we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying…
And I remember thinking

Chorus

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
When you started crying
Baby, I did too
But when the sun came up
I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn’t take the heat
I walked out, I said “I’m setting you free”
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up
You were looking at me.
You were looking at me… Oh
You were looking at me.
I remember.
Oh, I remember..

Chorus

"Shake It Off" Lyrics

Shake It Off Lyrics

Shake It Off Lyrics (1989 Album)

Written by Swift/Martin/Shellback

I stay up too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say
That's what people say
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say
That's what people say

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break
And I think it's gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lighting up my feet
And that's what they don't see
That's what they don't see
I'm dancing on my own
I make the moves as I go
And that's what they don't know
That's what they don't know

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break
And I think it's gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you been getting down and out about the liars
And the dirty dirty cheats of the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat

My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like oh my god
But I'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby we could shake, shake

Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off. Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break
And I think it's gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off

I Knew You Were Trouble Lyrics and Intro

Yesterday Taylor previewed her song "I Knew You Were Trouble" from her new album "Red" on Good Morning America.

This song is definitely a pop song.  It has a catchy chorus, a distinct beat and her voice is definitely in pop mode. I think it will go far in the pop world.

Click here to see the video and read the video intro text.

In her preview of the song Taylor said, "The song we're releasing tonight ... it's a song that's one of my favorite songs on the album because it sounds just as chaotic as the feeling was when I wrote it. It's a song about kind of being frustrated with yourself because you have your heart broken and you knew when you first saw that person you saw all these red flags and you just went for it anyway, 'So, shame on me.' "

Who is this song about?

My guess already after only hearing it once and reading the lyrics is John Mayer, saying this guy "never loved me or her or anyone or anything."  And that as soon as she "fell hard" he "took a step back."  How many women has John Mayer tried to get just so he could dump them?  Taylor definitely knew he was "trouble when you walked in" and in the end "heard you moved on from whispers on the street" and she knew she was just "a new notch in your belt."  It certainly sounds like Mayer and he is trouble!

I Knew You Were Trouble Lyrics (Red Album)


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

Red Intro and Lyrics

Taylor Swift previewed the title song for her album "Red" yesterday because it was the first day of October and her album is going to be released this month!  Today it has been released on iTunes.  It is such a fun song.  A good mix of country and pop.  In the song Taylor describes as loving a certain guy as "Red" and losing him is like "Blue".  It has a fun and catchy tune. In her Good Morning America introduction she said, “I wrote this song about the fact that some things in life are just hard to forget… because the emotions that are involved with them can be so intense—and to me, intense emotion is red.”  She does a really good job at capturing the intensity of emotion felt when loving someone and the isolation and longing after losing someone you have loved so much.

Red Lyrics (Red Album)

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
