Альбом Taylor Swift

(Written by Taylor Swift/Liz Rose)

You said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, that's a lie
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of getting stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him
All summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone

But when you think, Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

September saw a month of tears
And thanking God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And looking back on all of that
It's nice to believe

When you think, Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standing on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read

Is, when you think, Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Some day you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmmm-hmmmm

State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine, I'll tell mine
You're gay and by the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreaker
Who's really been a lie
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn

There's no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
Nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's going to show you how sorry you'll be

Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreaker
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn

And if you're missing me
You better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health

Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreaker
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard

I really, really hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreaker
Who's really been a lie, yeah
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
Burn, burn, burn, baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby, burn

Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and need
And everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without

Drew talks to me
I laugh cause its so damn funny
But I can't even see anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

So I drive home one night
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one that's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

He's the time taken up
But there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into

Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see

I don't know what I want
So don't ask me cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walking trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling luck today, got the sunshine
Can you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery
Oh, yeah, but that's okay

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off
Oh, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on

Oh, I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Oooh, I'm just a girl, oh, I'm just a girl, ah, um
Oh, I'm just a girl

You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take
You take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want
Cause I'm not what you wanted

Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
No use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and washed them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
No use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You never did give a damn thing, honey
But I cried, cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died
Died for you (died for you)

Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending give to a perfect day
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counted all the scars you made
Now that I'm sitting her thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

I didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason
I know, I didn't read between the lines
And, baby I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less travelled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right

So how can I ever try to be better
Nobody ever, lets me in
And I can still see you
This ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside

You saw me there, but never knew
That I would give it all up
To be a part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late
So you see you could have helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it's too late to do anything

How could I ever, try to be better
Nobody ever lets me in
And I can still see you
This ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside

Oh, yeah

How could I ever, try to be better
Nobody ever lets me in
And I can still see you
This ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ah, oh, oh
Oh, oh

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking your not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The waters high, you're jumping into it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And your tied together with a smile
But your coming undone
Whoooooa, oooooh ....

I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
Cause you're given it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket (pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause its not his price to pay
Not price his price to pay

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The waters high, your're jumping into it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And your tied together with a smile
But your coming undone
Whoooooa, oooooh ...

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The waters high, your're jumping into it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And your tied together with a smile
But your coming undone
Whoooooa, oooooh ....

You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
Oh, whoa, whoooa
Goodbye, baby with a smile
Baby, baby

Oh, oooh

Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words that nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
They watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know

Your beautiful, every little piece, love
Don't you know you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
When you find everything you've looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh, oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful

Cory finds another way to be the highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind so I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make conversation when he's taking my breath away
I should say, hey, by the way

Your beautiful, every little piece, love
Don't you know you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
When you find everything you've looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh, oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful

If you and I are a story that never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know

Your beautiful, every little piece, love
Don't you know you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
When you find everything you've looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my front door
Oh, but if it don't

Will you stay beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Oooh, la, laaa, ooooh
Ooooh, whoooa, ooooh

Oh, and if it don't
Stay beautiful, stay beautiful

It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes

You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

You can see that I've been crying
And, baby, you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes

You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me
Oooh, whoooa, ooooh

I can't resist before you go
Tell me this was it worth it
Was she worth this
Nooo, no, noooo .....

You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've known that the word about what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me

She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined in the sky
The pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled there eyes
And said, oh, my, my, my

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back to when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh my, my, my, my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smilled and rolled their eyes
And said, oh, my, my, my

Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two a.m. riding in your truck
And all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time when we had our very first fight
Slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside til the morning light
Oh, my, my, my, my

A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
And our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on the very front porch
After all this time, you and I

I'll be eighty-seven and you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky
Oh, my, my, my

I was riding 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?,
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song,
And he says...

CHORUS:
Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window,
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow,
Cause it's late and your mama don't know,
Our song is the way you laugh,
The first date, "man, I didn't get to kiss her, but I should have",
And when I got home...before I said amen,
Asking god if he could play it again.

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day,
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on,
And lost and 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

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

Cause our song is the slamming door,
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window,
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow,
Cause it's late and his mama don't know,
Our song is the way he laughs,
The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I could have",
And when I got home, before I said amen,
Asking god if he could play it again.

I was riding 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.
