Taylor Swift- Red

~*Red*~

[Verse 1:]

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

[Chorus:]

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red

Loving him was red

[Verse 2:]

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

[Chorus:]

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red

Oh, red

Burning red

[Bridge:]

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

Burning red

Loving him was red

[Chorus:]

Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

'Cause loving him was red

Yeah, yeah, red

We're burning red

[Post-Chorus:]

And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head

Comes back to me, burning red

Yeah, yeah

'Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Taylor Swift- The Lucky One (RED)

~*The Lucky One*~

New to town with a made up name in the angel 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 sixties’ queen.

Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky.

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.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.

Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.

Can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

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.

Yeah they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.

Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, whoa, oh, oh

Taylor Swift- State Of Grace (RED)

~*State Of Grace*~

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

Busy streets and busy lives

And all we know, is touch and go

We are alone with our changing minds

We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I'll never (ever) be the same

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannon ball

Now all we know is don't let go

We are alone, just you and me

Up in your room and our slates are clean

Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

So you were never a saint

And I’ve loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I'll never (ever) be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

These are the hands of fate

You're my Achilles heel

This is the golden age of something good and right and real

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I'll never (ever) be the same

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I'll never (ever) be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

Taylor Swift- 22 (RED)

~*22*~

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters

And make fun of our exes, ah ah, ah ah.

It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight

To fall in love with strangers, ah ah, ah ah.

Yeah,

We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time

It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah

Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines

It's time

Uh oh!

I don't know about you

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright

If you keep me next to you

You don't know about me

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright

If we just keep dancing like we're

22

22

It seems like one of those nights,

This place is too crowded.

Too many cool kids, ah ah, ah ah (who's Taylor Swift anyway, ew?)

It seems like one of those nights,

We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming

Instead of sleeping.

Yeah,

We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way

It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah

Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks

It's time

Uh oh!

I don't know about you

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright

If you keep me next to you

You don't know about me

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright (alright)

If we just keep dancing like we're

22

22

I don't know about you

22

22

It feels like one of those nights,

We ditch the whole scene.

It feels like one of those nights,

We won't be sleeping.

It feels like one of those nights,

You look like bad news,

I gotta have you,

I gotta have you.

Oh oh yeah hey!

I don't know about you

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright

If you keep me next to you

You don't know about me (you don't know about me)

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright

If we just keep dancing like we're

22

22

22, yeah, yeah

22, yeah, yeah, yeah

It feels like one of those nights,

We ditch the whole scene

It feels like one of those nights,

We won't be sleeping

It feels like one of those nights,

You look like bad news,

I gotta have you,

I gotta have you.

Taylor Swift- Starlight (RED)

~*Starlight*~

I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"

It was the best night, never would forget how we moved.

The whole place was dressed to the nines,

And we were dancing, dancing

Like we're made of starlight

Like we're made of starlight

I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45

Picked me up late one night at the window,

We were 17 and crazy, running wild, wild

Can't remember what song he was playing when we walked in

The night we snuck into a yacht club party

Pretending to be a duchess and a prince

And I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"

It was the best night, never would forget how we 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 so 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 we 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 we 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?
