I spent too many hours listening to folklore and then falling for these lines, here you have my favourite lines on each song. Bare with me because this is a long post!
- you know the greatest films of all time were never made
- but it would've been fun, if you would've been the one
- you know the greatest loves of all time are over now
- when you are young, they assume you know nothing
- once in twenty lifetimes
- you drew stars around my scars
- i knew you tried to change the ending;peter losing wendy
- but i knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss, i knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
the last great american dynasty:
- "how did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
- their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
- it must have been her fault his heart gave out
- free of women with madness
- i had a marvelous time ruining everything
- with his arms around your body. laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
- like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
- i think i've seen this film before, and i didn't like the ending
- i'm not your problem anymore, so who am i offending now?
- there is no amount of crying i can do for you
- we always walked a very thin line
- you didn't even see the signs
- and if i'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
- if i'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? cursing my name, wishing i stayed
- you hear my stolen lullabies
- you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
- i'm a mirrorball, i'll show you every version of yourself tonight
- and when i break, it's in a million pieces
- you'll find me on my tallest tiptoes, spinning in my highest heels, love
- i can change everything about me to fit in
- i'm still a believer, but i don't know why. i've never been a natural, all i do is try, try, try
- please picture me in the trees
- love you to the moon and to saturn
- please picture me in the weeds, before i learned civility; i used to scream ferociously any time i wanted
- cross my heart, won’t tell no other and though i can't recall your face i still got love for you
- your back beneath the sun, wishin' i could write my name on it
- and i can see us twisted in bedsheets, august sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause you were never mine
- so much for summer love and saying "us", 'cause you weren't mine to lose
- but do you remember? remember when i pulled up and said "get in the car"
- could've followed my fears all the way down
- they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential
- you're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
- what started in beautiful rooms, ends with meetings in parking lots
- a drug that only worked, the first few hundred times
- don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby". look at this godforsaken mess that you made me, you showed me colors you know i can't see with anyone else
- i used to think i would meet somebody there
- and isn't it just so pretty to think, all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?
- a string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
- one single thread of gold tied me to you
- hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
- time, wondrous time gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
- what do you sing on your drive home?
- does she mouth, "fuck you forever"?
- every time you call me crazy, i get more crazy
- there's nothing like a mad woman
- now i breathe flames each time i talk
- what a shame she went mad, you made her like that
- with you i serve, with you i fall down, watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out
- something med school did not cover someone's daughter, someone's mother
- only twenty minutes to sleep but you dream of some epiphany
- just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you've seen
- you can't believe a word she says most times, but this time it was true
- but if i just showed up at your party, would you have me? would you want me?
- i dreamt of you all summer long
- will it patch your broken wings?
- standing in your cardigan kissin' in my car again
- no, i could never give you peace
- but i would die for you in secret the devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
- i'd give you my sunshine, give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me
- my only one, my smoking gun, my eclipsed sun
- your faithless love's the only hoax i believe in
- i am ash from your fire
- you knew the hero died so what's the movie for?
- you knew it still hurts underneath my scars
- my kingdom come undone, my broken drum, you have beaten my heart
So yeah, thank you again @taylorswift for giving me another album to be the soundtrack of my nonexistent love life and just being around for so many years🤍✨ keep shining and being the lovely human you are. I love you.
