FEARLESS

“Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” (released April 9, 2021) (original version released November 11, 2008)

There's something 'bout the way

The street looks when it's just rained

There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car

And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there

In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

Oh, yeah

We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know

I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now

But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair

Absent-mindedly making me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

So, baby, drive slow 'til we run out of road in this one-horse town

I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now, capture it, remember it

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway

My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but

You pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something

It's fearless

Oh, yeah

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Oh, oh

Oh-oh, yeah

Fifteen

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors

It's the mornin' of your very first day

You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while

Try and stay out of everybody's way

It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here

For the next four years in this town

Hopin' 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 you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen, feelin' like there's nothin' to figure out

Well, count to ten, take it in

This is life before you know who you're gonna be

Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail

And soon enough, you're best friends

Laughin' at the other girls who think they're so cool

We'll be outta here as soon as we can

And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car

And you're feelin' like flyin'

And your mama's waitin' up and you're thinkin' he's the one

And you're dancin' 'round your room when the night ends

When the night ends

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen and your first kiss

Makes your head spin 'round

But in your life you'll do things greater than

Dating the boy on the football team

But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted

Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now

Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday

But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had

To a boy who changed his mind

And we both cried

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall

I've found time can heal most anything

And you just might find who you're supposed to be

I didn't know who I was supposed to be

At fifteen

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la

Your very first day

Take a deep breath, girl

Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

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 there'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 there'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

And I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When 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 dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Hey Stephen

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

Mmm-mm, mm-mm, yeah

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving

But I know I saw a light in you

And as we walked we were talking

I didn't say half the things I wanted to

Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window

I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold

Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing

I don't always have to be alone

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling

So I got some things to say to you

I've seen it all, so I thought

But I never seen nobody shine the way you do

The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name

It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change

Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?

I think you and I should stay the same

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me

Why aren't you here tonight?

I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out

And pull me near and shine, shine, shine

Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons

Why I should be the one you choose

All those other girls, well, they're beautiful

But would they write a song for you? (Ha-ha-ha)

I can't help it if you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

If you look like an angel

Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so

Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you

Can't help it if there's no one else

Mmm, I can't help myself

Ah-uh, myself

Mmm-mm, I can't help myself

I can't help myself

Oh-oh-oh

Mmm-mm, mm-mm

White Horse

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel

Comes out just when you need it to

As I paced back and forth all this time

'Cause I honestly believed in you

Holdin' on, the days drag on

Stupid girl, I shoulda known, I shoulda known

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell

This 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

Maybe I was naïve, got lost in your eyes

And never really had a chance

My mistake, I didn't know to be in love

You had to fight to have the upper hand

I had so many dreams about you and me

Happy endings, now I know

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell

This 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

Beggin' for forgiveness, beggin' for me

Just like I always wanted

But I'm so sorry

'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale

I'm gonna find someone someday

Who might actually treat me well

This is a big world, that was a small town

There in my rear view mirror disappearing now

And it's too late for you and your white horse

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Try and catch me now, oh

It's too late to catch me now

You Belong With Me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

She's going off about 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

And she'll never know your story like I do

'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts

She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down

You say you're fine, I know you better than that

Hey, whatcha doing with 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 find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know, baby?

You belong with me, you belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house

In the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're 'bout to cry

I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong

Think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know, baby?

You belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me?

You belong with me

Breathe

I see your face in my mind as I drive away

'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way

People are people and sometimes we change our minds

But it's killing me to see you go after all this time

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm

The music starts playing like the end of a sad movie

It's the kind of ending you don't really wanna see

'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down

Now I don't know what to be without you around

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

And I can't breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you, but I have to

Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt

Every little bump in the road, I tried to swerve

But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out

And nothin' we say is gonna save us from the fallout

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

And I can't breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you but I have to

It's 2 A.M., feeling like I just lost a friend

Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me

It's 2 A.M., feeling like I just lost a friend

Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me, oh

I can't breathe without you, but I have to

Breathe without you, but I have to

I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Mmm)

I'm sorry, (Yeah, yeah) I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Ooh, ooh)

I'm sorry

Tell Me Why

I took a chance, I took a shot

And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not

You took a swing, I took it hard

And down here from the ground, I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

I'm feeling like I don't know you

You tell me that you love me, then cut me down

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

Makes me run for cover when you're around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me

Tell me why

Well, you could write a book on

How to ruin someone's perfect day

Well, I get so confused and frustrated

Forget what I'm tryin' to say, oh

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I got no one to believe in

You tell me that you want me, then push me around

And I need you like a heartbeat

But you know you got a mean streak

Makes me run for cover when you're around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me

Tell me why

Why do you have to make me feel small

So you can feel whole inside?

Why do you have to put down my dreams

So you're the only thing on my mind?

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

Feeling like I don't know you

You tell me that you want me, then cut me down

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I've got no one to believe in

You ask me for my love, then you push me around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me

Tell me why (Why)

Tell me why (Oh)

I take a step back, I let you go

I told you I'm not bulletproof

Now you know

You're Not Sorry

All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around

I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down

And it's taken me this long, baby, but I've figured you out

And you're thinking we'll be fine again, but not this time around

You don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

Don't wanna hurt anymore

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You're looking so innocent, I might believe you if I didn't know

Could've loved you all my life if you hadn't left me waiting in the cold

And you've got your share of secrets

And I'm tired of being last to know, oh

And now you're asking me to listen

'Cause it's worked each time before

But you don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

Don't wanna hurt anymore

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You had me crawling for you, honey

And it never would've gone away, no

You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade

So you don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

There's nothing left to beg for

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

You're not sorry

No, no, oh-oh

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Woah, oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

The Way I Loved You

He is sensible and so incredible

And all my single friends are jealous

He says everything I need to hear and it's like

I couldn't ask for anything better

He opens up my door and I get into his car

And he says, "You look beautiful tonight."

And I feel perfectly fine

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

And it's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name

You're so in love that you act insane

And that's the way I loved you

Breaking down and coming undone

It's a roller coaster kind of rush

And I never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you

He respects my space

And never makes me wait

And he calls exactly when he says he will

He's close to my mother

Talks business with my father

He's charming and endearing

And I'm comfortable

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

And it's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name

You're so in love that you acted insane

And that's the way I loved you

Breaking down and coming undone

It's a roller coaster kind of rush

And I never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you

He can't see the smile I'm faking

And my heart's not breaking

'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all

And you were wild and crazy

Just so frustrating

Intoxicating, complicated

Got away by some mistake and now

I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

It's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name

I'm so in love that I acted insane

And that's the way I loved you

Breaking down and coming undone

It's a roller coaster kind of rush

And I never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you oh, oh

Whoa, whoa, oh-oh, oh

And that's the way I loved you oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa

Never knew I could feel that much

And that's the way I loved you

Forever & Always

Once upon a time

I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye

And we caught onto something

I hold onto the night

You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me

Were you just kidding?

'Cause it seems to me

This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak

I don't feel welcome anymore

Baby, what happened? Please tell me

'Cause one second it was perfect

Now you're halfway out the door

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always."

Oh, and it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

Was I out of line?

Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide

Like a scared little boy?

I looked into your eyes

Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure

So here's to everything coming down to nothing

Here's to silence that cuts me to the core

Where is this going?

Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said, "Forever and always."

Oh, and it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

You didn't mean it baby, I don't think so

Oh, back up, baby, back up

Did you forget everything?

Back up, baby, back up

Did you forget everything?

'Cause it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when we said, "Forever and always."

And it rains in your bedroom

Everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always."

You didn't mean it baby

You said, "Forever and always," yeah

The Best Day

I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides

Look now, the sky is gold

I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall

But I know you're not scared of anything at all

Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away

But I know I had the best day with you today

I'm thirteen now

And don't know how my friends could be so mean

I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys

And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away

And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm going to talk to now at school

But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you

Don't know how long it's going to take to feel okay

But I know I had the best day with you today

I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger

God smiles on my little brother, inside and out

He's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run

And I had the best days with you

There is a video I found from back when I was three

You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs

And Daddy's smart

And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

And now I know why all the trees change in the fall

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

And I love you for giving me your eyes

For staying back and watching me shine

And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say

That I had the best day with you today

Change

Well, it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you

Somebody else gets what you wanted again and

You know it's all the same, another time and place

Repeating history and you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do

And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

This revolution, the time will come

For us to finally win

And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah

Oh, oh

So we've been outnumbered, raided, and now cornered

It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair

We're getting stronger now, find things they never found

They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared

You can walk away, say we don't need this

But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change

Can you feel it now?

These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

This revolution, the time will come

For us to finally win

And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah

Oh, oh

Tonight, we'll stand, get off our knees

Fight for what we've worked for all these years

And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives

But we'll stand up champions tonight

It was the night things changed

Can you see it now?

When the walls that they put up to hold us back fell down

It's a revolution, throw your hands up

'Cause we never gave in

And we'll sing hallelujah, we sang hallelujah

Hallelujah

Jump Then Fall

I like the way you sound in the morning

We're on the phone and without a warning

I realize your laugh is the best sound

I have ever heard

I like the way I can't keep my focus

I watch you talk, you didn't notice

I hear the words but all I can think is

We should be together

Every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I'll shine for you

Whoa oh, I'm feeling you, baby

Don't be afraid to

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

'Cause I'ma stay through it all

So jump then fall

Well I like the way your hair falls in your face

You got the keys to me

I love each freckle on your face, oh

I've never been so wrapped up, honey

I like the way you're everything I ever wanted

I had time to think it o-over

And all I can say is come closer

Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me

'Cause every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I'll shine for you

Whoa oh, I'm feeling you, baby

Don't be afraid to

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

'Cause I'ma stay through it all

So jump then fall

The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet

I'll catch you, I'll catch you

When people say things that bring you to your knees

I'll catch you

The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry

But I'll hold you through the night until you smile

Whoa oh, I need you, baby

Don't be afraid, please

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

'Cause I'ma stay through it all

So jump then fall

Jump then fall, baby

Jump then fall into me, into me

Every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I shine

And every time you're here

Baby, I'll show you, I'll show you

You can jump then fall, jump then fall

Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah

Untouchable

Untouchable like a distant diamond sky

I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why

I'm caught up in you, I'm caught up in you

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

And when you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

It's half full and I won't wait here all day

I know you're saying that you'd be here anyway

But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

And now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, oh

In the middle of the night waking from this dream

I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

I'm caught up in you

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

Now that you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, oh

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, come on

In the middle of the night waking from this dream

I want to feel you by my side, standing next to me

You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

You got to come on, come on, oh, come on, come on

Come on, come on, oh, oh, oh

It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

They're spelling out your name, oh

Come In With The Rain

I could go back to every laugh

But I don't wanna go there anymore

And I know all the steps up to your door

But I don't wanna go there anymore

Talk to the wind, talk to the sky

Talk to the man with the reasons why

And let me know what you find

I'll leave my window open

'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name

Just know I'm right here hoping

That you'll come in with the rain

I could stand up and sing you a song

But I don't wanna have to go that far

And I, I've got you down, I know you by heart

And you don't even know where I start

Talk to yourself, talk to the tears

Talk to the man who put you here

And don't wait for the sky to clear

I'll leave my window open

'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name

Just know I'm right here hoping

That you'll come in with the rain

I've watched you so long, screamed your name

I don't know what else I can say

I'll leave my window open

'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games

Just know I'm right here hoping

That you'll come in with the rain

I could go back to every laugh

But I don't wanna go there anymore

Superstar

This is wrong but I can't help but feel like

There ain't nothing more right babe

Misty morning comes again and I can't

Help but wish I could see your face

And I knew from the first note played

I'd be breaking all my rules to see you

You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row

Scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't keep my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

Morning loneliness

Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you

When my world wakes up today

You'll be in another town

And I knew when I saw your face

I'd be counting down the ways to see you

You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

You played in bars, you play guitar

And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are

And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep

Every night from the radio

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar

Sweet, sweet superstar

Superstar

The Other Side Of The Door

In the heat of the fight I walked away

Ignorin' words that you were sayin'

Tryna 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 said, "Leave," but all I really want is you

To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles

Screamin', "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' 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 sittin' here alone

Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone

I keep goin' back over things we both said

And I remember the slamming door

And all the things that I misread

Oh, babe, if you know everything

Tell me why you couldn't see

When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah

I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you

To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles

Screamin', "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more

And don't you leave 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

And I'll scream out the window

I can't even look at you

I don't need you but I do, I do, I do

I say, "There's nothing you can say

To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it"

But what I mean is

I said, "Leave," but, baby, all I want is you

To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles

Screamin', "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' 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 the beautiful eyes

And the conversation 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

Today Was A Fairytale

Today was a fairytale

You were the prince

I used to be a damsel in distress

You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six

Today was a fairytale

I wore a dress

You wore a dark grey t-shirt

You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down

Whenever you're around

Can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

You've got a smile

That takes me to another planet

Every move you make everything you say is right

Today was a fairytale

All that I can say

Is now it's getting so much clearer

Nothing made sense 'til the time I saw your face

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down

Whenever you're around, yeah

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down

Whenever you're around

I can feel my heart

It's beating in my chest

Did you feel it?

I can't put this down

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

You All Over Me (From The Vault)

Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement

Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do

The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads

They leave 'em muddy underneath

Reminds me of you

You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls

You know, you can scratch it right off

It's how it used to be

But like the dollar in your pocket it's been spent and traded in

You can't change where it's been

Reminds me of me

I lived, and I learned

Had you, got burned

Held out, and held on

God knows, too long

And wasted time, lost tears

Swore that I'd get out of here

But no amount of freedom gets you clean

I've still got you all over me

The best and worst day of June

Was the one that I met you

With your hands in your pockets

And your "Don't you wish you had me?" grin

Well, I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child

Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then

And I lived, and I learned

Had you, got burned

Held out, and held on

God knows, too long

And wasted time, lost tears

Swore that I'd get out of here

But no amount of freedom gets you clean

I've still got you all over me

I lived, and I learned

And found out what it was to turn around

And see, that we

Were never really meant to be

So I lied, and I cried

And I watched a part of myself die

'Cause no amount of freedom gets you clean

I've still got you all over me

Still got you all over me

Mr. Perfectly Fine (From The Vault)

Mr. "Perfect face"

Mr. "Here to stay"

Mr. "Looked me in the eye and told me you would never go away"

Everything was right

Mr. "I've been waiting for you all my life"

Mr. "Every single day until the end, I will be by your side"

But that was when I got to know Mr. "Change of heart"

Mr. "Leaves me all alone," I fall apart

It takes everything in me just to get up each day

But it's wonderful to see that you're okay

Hello Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breaking mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time," baby

Hello Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" since your goodbye

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"

Mr. "Never told me why"

Mr. "Never had to see me cry"

Mr. "Insincere apology so he doesn't look like the bad guy"

He goes about his day

Forgets he ever even heard my name

Well, I thought you might be different than the rest, I guess you're all the same

'Cause I hear he's got his arm 'round a brand-new girl

I've been pickin' up my heart, he's been pickin' up her

And I never got past what you put me through

But it's wonderful to see that it never fazed you

Hello Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breakin' mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time," baby

Hello Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" since your goodbye

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"

So dignified in your well-pressed suit

So strategized, all the eyes on you

Sashay away to your seat

It's the best seat, in the best room

Oh, he's so smug, Mr. "Always wins"

So far above me in every sense

So far above feeling anything

And it's really such a shame

It's such a shame

'Cause I was Miss "Here to stay"

Now I'm Miss "Gonna be alright someday"

And someday maybe you'll miss me

But by then, you'll be Mr. "Too late"

Goodbye Mr. "Perfectly fine"

How's your heart after breakin' mine?

Mr. "Always at the right place at the right time," baby

Goodbye Mr. "Casually cruel"

Mr. "Everything revolves around you"

I've been Miss "Misery" for the last time

And you're Mr. "Perfectly fine"

You're perfectly fine

Mr. "Looked me in the eye and told me you would never go away"

You said you'd never go away

We Were Happy (From The Vault)

We used to walk along the streets

When the porch lights were shining bright

Before I had somewhere to be

Back when we had all night and we were happy

I do recall a good while back, we snuck into the circus

You threw your arms around my neck, back when I deserved it

And we were happy

When it was good, baby, it was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm we were gonna buy someday

And we were happy

We used to watch the sun go down on the boats in the water

That's sorta how I feel right now

And goodbye's so much harder 'cause we were happy

When it was good, baby, it was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm we were gonna buy someday

And we were happy

We were happy

Oh, I hate those voices telling me I'm not in love anymore

But they don't give me choices and that's what these tears are for

'Cause we were happy, we were happy

When it was good, baby, it was good, baby

We showed 'em all up

No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark

Talking 'bout your daddy's farm

And you were gonna marry me

And we were happy

Yeah, we were happy

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We were happy

That's When (From The Vault)

You said, "I know"

When I said, "I need some time, need some space

To think about all of this"

You watched me go

And I knew my

Words were hard to hear

And harder to ever take back

And I said, "When can I-I-I come back?"

And you said that's when

When I wake up in the morning

That's when, when it's sunny or storming

Laughing, when I'm crying

And that's when, I'll be waiting at the front gate

That's when, when I see your face

I'll let you in, and baby, that's when

Mm, mm

I said, "I know"

When you said, "I did you wrong

Made mistakes

And put you through all of this" (through all of this)

Then through the phone

Came all your tears

And I said, "Leave those all in our past"

And you said, "When can I-I-I come back?"

And I said, that's when

When I wake up in the morning

That's when, when it's sunny or storming

Laughing, when I'm crying

And that's when I'll be waiting at the front gate

That's when, when I see your face

I'll let you in, and baby, that's when"

And you said, "Honestly

When you were gone

Did you ever think of me?"

And I said

"That's when, when I woke up in the morning

That's when, it was sunny or storming

Laughing when I was crying

And that's when, you were waiting at the front gate

That's when, when I saw your face

You let me in, and baby, that's when"

That's when, when I wake up in the morning (Yeah)

That's when, when it's sunny or storming

When I'm laughing, when I'm crying

That's when I'll be waiting at the front gate

(That when I miss you, that's when I want you)

That's when, when I see your face

That's when I love you, that's when

Don't You (From The Vault)

Hey, I knew I'd run into you somewhere

It's been a while, I didn't mean to stare

I heard she's nothin' like me

I'm sure she'll make you happy

But don't you

Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been

Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again

You don't know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Sometimes I really wish that I could hate you

I've tried, but that's just somethin' I can't do

My heart knows what the truth is

I swore I wouldn't do this

But don't you

Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been

Don't you say you've missed me if you don't want me again

You don't know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?

So I walk outta here tonight

Try to go on with my life

And you can say, "We're still friends"

I don't wanna pretend

So if I see you again

Don't you (Don't you)

Don't you smile at me and ask me how I've been

Don't you (Don't you), say you've missed me if you don't want me again

You don't (You don't), know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Don't you, ah, ah, ah

Bye Bye Baby (From The Vault)

It wasn't just like a movie

The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin

I'm driving away and I, I guess you could say

This is the last time I'll drive this way again

Lost in the gray 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 I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Bye, bye, baby

The picture frame is empty

On the dresser, vacant just like me

I see your writing on the dash

Then back to your hesitation

I was so sure of everything

Everything I thought we'd always have

Guess I never doubted it

Then the here and the now floods in

Feels like I'm becoming a 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

And all I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Bye, bye, baby

And there's so much that I can't touch

You're all I want but it's not enough this time

And all the pages are just 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 I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep 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 I have is your sympathy

'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me

Oh, you took me home, I thought you were gonna keep me

Bye, bye, baby
