Who's gonna stop us from waltzing Back into rekindled flames? If we know the steps anyway We embroidered the memories Of the time I was away Stitching, "We were just kids, babe" I said, "I don't mind, it takes time" I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed I felt aglow like this Never before and never since If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary You and I go from one kiss to gettin married Still alive, killing time at the cemetery Never quite buried In your suit and tie, in the nick of time You lowdown boy, you stand up guy Holy Ghost, you told me I'm The love of your life You said I'm the love of your life About a million times Who's gonna tell me the truth When you blew in with the winds of fate And told me I reformed you When your impressionist paintings of Heaven Turned out to be fakes Well, you took me to hell, too And all at once, the ink bleeds A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme But I felt a hole like this Never before, and ever since If you know it in one glimpse It's legendary What we thought was for all time Was momentary Still alive, killing time at the cemetery Never quite buried You cinephile in black and white All those plot twists and dynamite Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry You said I'm the love of your life You shit-talked me under the table Talking rings and talking cradles I wish I could un-recall How we almost had it all Dancing phantoms on the terrace Are they second-hand embarrassed That I can't get out of bed? Cause something counterfeit's dead It was legendary It was momentary It was unnecessary Should've let it stay buried Oh, what a valiant roar What a bland goodbye The coward claimed he was a lion I'm combing through the braids of lies "I'll never leave" ... "Never mind" Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire Your arson's match your somber eyes And I'll still see it until I die You're the loss of my life
Traduci il testo con la fotocamera an authentic masterpiece on par with Taylor but tell me how you then go from the boundless genius of this song to the mediocrity and absolute uselessness of The Alchemy, almost an NFL chronicle to the uselessness of So High School, an adolescent style that does it mortify Taylor, capable of many other masterpieces on the subject? Almost a tribute to whom? Ah, knowing
Ok... I'll defend So High School! The wordplay here is just 😍 And in a blink of a crinkling eye I'm sinking, our fingers entwined Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights (Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me) I'll drink what you think, and I'm high From smoking your jokes all damn night The brink of a wrinkle in time (Bittersweet sixteen suddenly) I think Chaucer would have been pretty well pleased with this - the imagery might be 'High School' but the poetry and the way it "keeps the beat" so perfectly across SIX lines, certainly ain't!
we need the lightness or we'd explode if all her songs were of the same intensity. even Dylan did everybody must get stoned as well as like a rolling stone. a variety of gems is a good balance...
Taylor is the whole package; incredible ballads like this, and also fun upbeat songs. Songs like this are mind-blowing and sad... we need lighthearted fun ones to dance to!!
