Nevermind

Look at you
Look at me
Look at who
We could be

I wanna know
Who you are
What you want
From the start

And every time I look at you I can hardly say a thing
My head starts to spin
And it hits me then
I love you

And every time you look at me I could go crazy but I
don't say it but I won't
Cause I'd rather be alone
Than lose you

And all I really wanna do is be next to you
But I'm too tired to fight
And I could tell you now
But baby never mind

All the time
Everyday
There's nothing I can do baby
To make you go away

So look at you
And look at me
And think of who
We could be

And every time I look at you I can hardly say a thing
My head starts to spin
And it hits me then
I love you

And every time you look at me I could go crazy but I
don't say it but I won't
Cause I'd rather be alone
Than lose you

And all I really wanna do is be next to you
But I'm too tired to fight
And I could tell you now
But baby never mind

All I really wanna say is I need you, babe
But how could you understand
What happens if you turn away
And everything turns blue and gray
And I just wish I told you never mind

And I could tell you now
But baby never mind

Yeaah
Oh yeah

I could tell you now but never mind

Yeah
Oh yeah yeah

And I could tell you now but never mind...

New Romance

[Verse:]
We're all bored, we're all 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, we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey life is just a class room

[Chorus:]
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free

[Verse 2:]
We're all here the lights and boy are blinding
We hang back its all in the timing
It's poker, you can't see it in my face
But I'm about to play my Ace
We need love but all we want is danger
We team up and switch up like a record changer
The rumors are terrible and cruel
But honey most of them are true

[Chorus:]
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free

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

[Chorus:]
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free

[Chorus:]
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free

New Romantics

We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet lettersâ??
Trust me, mine is better

We're so young but we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing
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 is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics
Come on, come 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 lights and noise are blinding
We hang back, it's all in the timing
It's poker, he can't see it 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

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics
Come on, come 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

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

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

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream

'Cause, baby, I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics
Come on, come 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

New Year's Day

There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before, but

Don't read the last page
But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared
And you're turning away
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home

Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me forevermore

Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

One Thing

Wasn?t just like a movie
The rain didn?t soak through my clothes
Down to my skin

Driving away and I
I guess you could say
This is the last time I drive this way again

There was nothing to say and I
Try to grab at the fray cause I
I still love you but I can?t

Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby

I want you back but it?s come down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me
Yeah

Picture frame is empty
It?s black and white you?re smiling down at me
I take your photo off the dash

And back to the conversation
We?re so sure of everything
Everything we thought we?d always have

Lost in the sound of there
The here and the now comes in
Seems like I?m becoming
Part of your past

Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby

I want you back but it?s come down to nothing
All you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me

And there?s so much that I can?t touch
You?re all I want but it?s not enough this time
And I can feel you like you?re slipping through my
hands
And I?m so scared of how this ends
Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby

I want you back but it?s come down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me

Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby

I want you back but it?s come down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me
Yeah
There was one thing
I knew would never leave me

It wasn?t just like a movie
The rain didn?t soak through my clothes
Down to my skin

One Way Ticket

Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster as I step out on my own
There's a new horizon and the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight, traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again

And buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings and tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind

And buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees through the valley of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining like a light on me and now I can see my way out

Buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know

Buy a one-way ticket on a west bound train
I'm gonna have my breakfast with some pink champagne
Gonna sail the ocean, gonna spread my wings
Gonna climb that mountain, gonna do everything

Other Side Of The Door

In the heat of the fight
I walked away
Ignoring words that you saying
Trying to make me stay
I said this time
I?ve had enough
And you?ve called a hundred times
But I?m not picking up
Cause I?m so mad, I might tell you
That it?s over
But if you look a little closer

I?ll still leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window
Throwing pebbles screaming, ?I?m in love with you?
Wait there in the pouring rain
Come back for more
And don?t you leave cause I know all I need is
on the other side of the door

Me and my stupid pride
Are sitting here a lone
Going through the photographs
Starring at the phone
I keep going back over the things we both said
And I remember the slamming door
And all the things that I misread
So baby you know everything
Tell me why you couldn?t see
When I left I wanted you to chase after me
Yeah

I?ll still leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window
Throwing pebbles screaming, ?I?m in love with you?
Wait there in the pouring rain
Come back for more
And don?t you leave cause I know all I need is
on the other side of the door

And I scream out the window
I can?t even look at you
I don?t need you but I do, I do, I do
See there?s nothing you can say
To make this right again
I mean it , I mean it
What I mean is,

I?ll still leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window
Throwing pebbles screaming, ?I?m in love with you?
Wait there in the pouring rain
Come back for more
And don?t you leave cause I know all I need is
on the other side of the door

With your face and your beautiful eyes
The conversations with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carried me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down crying
Was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess
I need you.

Our Last Night

(Spoken):
My name's Taylor Swift
This is a cover song I'm gonna sing for you
By one of my favorite bands called Better Than Ezra
And its the song called Our Last Night

We were standing in an empty room
The moonlight was falling
You were holding my hand when the car pulled up for you
And I could have spent a life with you
But those days were over
You were calling my name when your face faded from view

And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
And wasn't it you who told me:

Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?

I remember waking up with you
The days doing nothing
You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew.
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
A poet at a Nobel seminar
I hope the world never tore that out of you

Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
Yeah wasn't it you who told me:

Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?

And what ever happened to the things you loved
And the songs we played, and the indian days
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
Like Harold and Maude and singing

I was waving as you drove away
The sunlight was falling
You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane

Angels fly in the air tonight
saying "wasn't it just like those promises you made?"
oh oh yeah
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
on our last night
oh oh oh oh oh

Our Song

I was driving shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says: baby is something wrong?
And I say: nothing, I was just thinking how we don't have a song.
And he says:

[Chorus]
Our song is a slamming screen door
sneaking out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow,
'cuz it's late and you momma don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date 'man I didn't kiss her and I should have'
And when I got home, b'fore I said Amen
Asking God if he... could play it again.

I was walking at the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong, have been trampled on
And lost an thrown away
Got to the hallway well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said

[Chorus]
Our song is a slamming screen door
sneaking out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow,
'cuz it's late and you momma don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date 'man I didn't kiss her and I should have'
And when I got home, b'fore I said Amen
Asking God if he... could play it again.

I've heard every album listened to the radio
Waiting for something to come along, that was as good as our song.

[Chorus]
Our song is a slamming screen door
sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow,
'cuz it's late and his momma don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date 'man I didn't kiss him and I should have'
And when I got home, b'fore I said Amen
Asking God if he... could play it again.
Play it again
Oooh yeah huh oh yeah

I was driving shotgun with my hair undone
in the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin and I
wrote down our song.

Ours

Elevator buttons and morning air
Stranger's silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours

And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and
Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard

And don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours, they can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours
