evermore

evermore
To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing
songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we
were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and
had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into
the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in
and my collaborators and I are proud to announce that
my 9th studio album and folklore’s sister record is here.
It’s called evermore.
I’ve never done this before. In the past I’ve
always treated albums as one-off еras and moved onto
planning the next onе as soon as an album was released.
There was something different with folklore. In making it,
I felt less like I was departing and more like I was
returning. I loved the escapism I found in these
imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you
welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of
love lost and found. So I just kept writing them. And I
loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack
Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed
some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen
table this time around…
Before I knew it there were 17 tales, some of
which are mirrored or intersecting with one another. The
one about two young con artists who fall in love while

TAYLOR SWIFT
hanging out at fancy resorts trying to score rich romantic
beneficiaries. The one where longtime college sweethearts
had very different plans for the same night, one to end it
and one who brought a ring. Dorothea, the girl who left
her small town to chase down Hollywood dreams – and
what happens when she comes back for the holidays and
rediscovers an old flame. The ‘unhappily ever after’
anthology of marriages gone bad that includes infidelity,
ambivalent toleration, and even murder. The most
righteous motive, to avenge the fallen. The realization that
maybe the only path to healing is to wish happiness on the
one who took it away from you. One starring my
grandmother, Marjorie, who still visits me sometimes…if
only in my dreams.
I wanted to surprise you with this the week of my
31st birthday. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and
thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I wanted to
give you something! I also know this holiday season will
be a lonely one for most of us and of there are any of you
out there who turn to music to cope with missing loved
ones the way I do, this is for you.
I have no idea what will come next. I have no
idea about a lot of things these days and so I’ve clung to
the one thing that keeps me connected to you all. That
thing always has and always will be music.

And may it continue, evermore.

 willow
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open/shut case
I never would've known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
There was one prize I'd cheat to win

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

TAYLOR SWIFT
 They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a 90's trend

Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open/shut case
I guess I should've known from the look on your face
Every bait and switch was a work of art

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man

The more that you say, the less I know

Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man

Hey, that's my man

That's my man
Yeah, that's my man

 champagne problems
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, WILLIAM BOWERY

You booked the night train for a reason

So you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse

Because I dropped your hand while dancing

Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Champagne problems

You told your family for a reason

You couldn't keep it in
Your sister splashed out on the bottle
Now no one's celebrating

Dom Perignon, you brought it

No crowd of friends applauded
Your hometown skeptics called it
Champagne problems
You had a speech, you're speechless
Love slipped beyond your reaches
And I couldn't give a reason
Champagne problems

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke "well, it's made for me" how
Evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
Till someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride
What a shame she's f*cked in the head", they said
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

And hold your hand while dancing

Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
With champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
Her picture in your wallet
And you won't remember all my
Champagne problems

You won't remember all my

Champagne problems

 gold rush
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, JACK ANTONOFF

Gleaming
Twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships
On waters so inviting
I almost jump in

I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominos
I see me padding across your wooden floors
With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door
At dinner parties
I call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town
We wandered round had never
Seen a love as pure as it

TAYLOR SWIFT
 And then it fades into the gray of my day old tea
'Cause you know it could never be

'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush
Everybody wants you
And I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominos
My mind turns your life into folklore
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
At dinner parties
I won't call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town
We never found will never
See a love as pure as it
'Cause it fades into the gray of my day old tea
'Cause it will never be
Gleaming
Twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships
On waters so inviting
I almost jump in

 'tis the damn season
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

If I wanted to know
Who you were hanging with
While I was gone, I would've asked you
It's the kind of cold
Fogs up windshield glass
But I felt it when I passed you
There's an ache in you
Put there by the ache in me
But if it's all the same to you
It's the same to me

So we could call it even

You could call me "babe" for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm staying at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you and my hometown

I parked my car
Right between the Methodist and the school that used to be
ours
The holidays linger like bad perfume
You can run but only so far
I escaped it too
Remember how you watched me leave
But if it's okay with you
It's okay with me

TAYLOR SWIFT
 We could call it even
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm staying at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
Time flies
Messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you and my hometown

Sleep in half the day

Just for old times' sake
I won't ask you to wait
If you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to LA
And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever
make it
And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm
faking
And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own
To leave the warmest bed I've ever known

We could call it even

Even though I'm leaving
And I'll be yours for the weekend
'Tis the damn season

We could call it even

TAYLOR SWIFT
 You could call me "babe" for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down

 tolerate it
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

I sit and watch you reading with your head low

I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
I sit and watch you, I notice everything you do or don't do
You're so much older and wiser and I

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch you tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it

I greet you with a battle hero's welcome

I take your indiscretions all in good fun
I sit and listen, I polish plates until they gleam and glisten
You're so much older and wiser and I

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch you tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it

TAYLOR SWIFT
 While you were out building other worlds, where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the byline
Always taking up too much space or time
You assume I'm fine
But what would you do if I

Break free and leave us in ruins

Took this dagger in me and removed it
Gain the weight of you then lose it
Believe me, I could do it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it
I sit and watch you

He did it
He did it

Este's a friend of mine

We meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine
Este's been losin' sleep
Her husband's actin' different, and it smells like infidelity
She says, "That ain't my Merlot on his mouth
That ain't my jewelry on our joint account"
No, there ain't no doubt
I think I'm gonna call him out

She says, "I think he did it, but I just can't prove it"
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die

No, no
I think he did it
No, no
He did it

Este wasn't there Tuesday night at Olive Gardеn

At her job or anywhere

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Hе reports his missing wife
And I noticed when I passed his house
His truck has got some brand new tires
And his mistress moved in
Sleeps in Este's bed and everything
No, there ain't no doubt
Somebody's gotta catch him out, 'cause

I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die

No, no
I think he did it
No, no
He did it

Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I

was fifteen
And I've cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a
scene
Good thing Este's sister's gonna swear she was with me
(She was with me, dude)
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy

They think she did it, but they just can't prove it
They think she did it, but they just can't prove it
She thinks I did it, but she just can't prove it

TAYLOR SWIFT

 happiness
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

Honey, when I'm above the trees

I see this for what it is
But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given
Is just shit we're dividin' up
Showed you all of my hiding spots
I was dancing when the music stopped
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention
I haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness

Past the blood and bruise

Past the curses and cries
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
Haunted by the look in my eyes
That would've loved you for a lifetime
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness

Tell me, when did your winning smile

Begin to look like a smirk?
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
I hope she'll be your beautiful fool

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Who takes my spot next to you
No, I didn't mean that
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
You haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after me

But there was happiness because of me
Both of these things, I believe
There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide

There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind
And there is happiness

I can't make it go away by making you a villain

I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
And I pulled your body into mine
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him, too

Honey, when I'm above the trees

I see it for what it is
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to
lay your head
After giving you the best I had
Tell me what to give after that
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness

TAYLOR SWIFT
 You haven't met the new me yet
And I think she'll give you that

There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you, too
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide

There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind

Oh, leave it all behind

Leave it all behind
And there is happiness

Do you ever stop and think about me?
When we were younger
Down in the park
Honey, making a lark of the misery
You got shiny friends since you left town
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
And I got nothing but well wishes for ya

Oooh
This place is the same as it ever was
Oooh
But you don't like it that way

It's never too late

To come back to my side
The stars in your eyes
Shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of being known
For who you know
You know, you'll always know me

Ooh, you're a queen

Selling dreams
Selling make up and magazines

TAYLOR SWIFT

Hey Dorothea
Do you ever stop and think about me?
When it was calmer
Skipping the prom
Just to piss off your mom
And her pageant schemes
And damn, Dorothea
They all wanna be ya
But are you still the same soul?
I met under the bleachers, well

Oooh
I guess I'll never know
Oooh
And you'll go on with the show

FEATURING THE NATIONAL

BRYCE DESSNER, WILLIAM BOWERY

Break my soul in two looking for you

But you're right here
If I can't relate to you anymore
Then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul
How'd we get here so soon?
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Did I shatter you?

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island

Wondering where did my baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
Sorry for not making you my centerfold

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments, close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down

The question pounds my head

What's a lifetime of achievement
If I pushed you to the edge?
But you were too polite to leave me
And do you miss the rogue

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
Will you forgive my soul
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?

'Cause we were like the mall before the internet

It was the one place to be
The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams
Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

Over and over

Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments, close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down

Were you waiting at our old spot

In the tree line
By the gold clock
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
Were you standing in the hallway
With a big cake, happy birthday
Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
A universe away
And when I got into the accident
The sight that flashed before me was your face
But when I walked up to the podium, I think that I forgot to
say your name

I'm on a bench in Coney Island

Wondering where did my baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Sorry for not making you my centerfold

I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
In a faith forgotten land
In from the snow
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
Tarnished but so grand

And the old widow goes to the stone every day

But I don't, I just sit here and wait
Grieving for the living

Oh, goddamn
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you

Magnificently cursed

Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
He wants what's only yours

Spring breaks loose, the time is near
What would he do if he found us out?
Crescent moon, coast is clear
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
He's gonna burn this house to the ground

How's one to know?

I'd live and die for moments that we stole
On begged and borrowed time
So tell me to run
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
And drink my husband's wine

Oh, goddamn

Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

Fatefully
I tried to pick my battles
Til the battle picked me
Misery
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
And you passed right by
I was in the alley surrounded on all sides
The knife cuts both ways
If the shoe fits, walk in it
Til your high heels break

And I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you
I'm all about you

Actually
I always felt I must look better in the rear view
Missing me
At the golden gates they once held the keys to
When I dropped my sword
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door

TAYLOR SWIFT
 And we live in peace
But if someone comes at us
This time I'm ready

'Cause I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole

Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you
I'm all about you

No more keeping score

Now I just keep you warm
No more tug of war now
I just know there's more
No more keeping score
Now I just keep you warm
And my waves meet your shore
Ever and evermore

Past me
I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
Your nemeses will defeat themselves
Before you get the chance to swing
And he's passing by
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
And he feels like home
If the shoe fits, walk in it

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Everywhere you go

And I fell from the pedestal

Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Climbed right back up the cliff

Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your "closure"
Your "closure"

Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled

I'm fine with my spite
And my tears
And my beers and my candles
I can feel you smoothing me over

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya
Right to the bone

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your "closure"
Your "closure"
Your "closure"
Your "closure"

I know I'm just a

Wrinkle in your new life
Staying "friends"
Would iron it out so nice
Guilty, guilty reaching out across the sea
That you put between you and me
But it's fake
And it's oh so unnecessary

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya
Right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your "closure"
"Closure"
Your "closure"
Your "closure"

FEATURING BON IVER
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, JUSTIN VERNON, WILLIAM BOWERY

Gray November
I've been down since July
Motion capture
Put me in a bad light

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone

Trying to find the one where I went wrong
Writing letters
Addressed to the fire

And I was catching my breath

Staring out an open window
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore

Hey December
Guess I'm feeling unmoored
Can't remember
What I used to fight for

I rewind the tape but all it does is pause

On the very moment all was lost
Sending signals

TAYLOR SWIFT
 To be double crossed

And I was catching my breath

Barefoot in the wildest winter
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore
(Evermore)

Can't not think of all the cost

And the things that will be lost
Oh, can we just get a pause?
To be certain we'll be tall again
Whether weather be the frost
Or the violence of the dog days
I'm on waves, out being tossed
Is there a line that I could just go cross?

And when I was shipwrecked (Can't think of all the cost)

I thought of you (All the things that will be lost now)
In the cracks of light (Can we just get a pause?)
I dreamed of you (To be certain we'll be tall again)
(If you think of all the costs)
It was real enough (Whether weather be the frost)
To get me through (Or the violence of the dog days)
(Out on waves being tossed)
I swear (Is there a line that we could just go cross?)
You were there

TAYLOR SWIFT
 And I was catching my breath
Floors of a cabin creaking under my step
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
This pain wouldn't be for
Evermore
Evermore
Evermore
This pain wouldn't be for evermore
Evermore

TAYLOR SWIFT
 right where you left me
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

Friends break up, friends get married

Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I'm right where you left me

Help, I'm still at the restaurant

Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight", I...
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but I sat and stared
Right where you left me

You left me no, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me, you left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
How it was supposed to be
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me

At the restaurant when I was still the one you want

Cross-legged in the dim light
Everything was just right, I...
I could feel the mascara run
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on

Help, I'm still at the restaurant

Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight", I...
I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned up hair
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
Cause I'm right where
I cause no harm
Mind my business
If our love died young
I can't bear witness
And it's been so long

TAYLOR SWIFT
 But if you ever think you got it wrong

I'm right where

You left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever

TAYLOR SWIFT
 it's time to go
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

When the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old

You ask for the tab
Or that moment again he's insisting that friends
Look at each other like that
When the words of a sister come back in whispers
That prove she was not
In fact what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams
She's a crook who was caught

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know when it's time to go

Twenty years at your job

Then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
Or trying to stay for the kids
When keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know when it's time to go

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing

Fifteen years, fifteen million tears

Begging 'til my knees bled
I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all
Then wondered why I left
Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
Praying to his greed
He's got my past frozen behind glass
But I've got me

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
I know when it's time to go

Sometimes giving up is the strong thing

Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
That will find you the right thing
And you know in your soul
And you know in your soul
When it's time to go

And you know, you know, you know, you know

TAYLOR SWIFT
When it's time to go
So then you go
Then you go
You just go

 Renegade
WITH BIG RED MACHINE
BY: TAYLOR SWIFT, AARON DESSNER

I tapped on your window on your darkest night

The shape of you
Was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay
But I stayed anyway
And if I would've known
How many pieces you had crumbled into
I might have let them lay

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage, damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history

It's time, you've come a long way

Open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade
To need somebody

Is it insensitive for me to say

Get your shit together
So I can love you?
Is it really your anxiety
That stops you from giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?

TAYLOR SWIFT
 I tapped on your window on your darkest night
The shape of you
Was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay
But I stayed anyway
You fire off missiles cause you hate yourself
But do you know you're demolishing me?
And then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
Let all your damage, damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history

It's time, you've come a long way

That stops you from giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?

How sharp the pieces were
You'd crumbled into
I might've let them lay

 Birch
WITH BIG RED MACHINE
BY: AARON DESSNER, BRYAN DEVENDORF, JUSTIN
VERNON

The way I woke up

Was old
Was all fucking choke

And it ain't easier

After a week
Or that I won't hide there
Standing

If you cannot tell

I'll tell you right away
If I'll stay a spell
Or if I cannot stay
I am less at ease
Not the best at these
See the forest trees
Call what's these what's these

What's these
What's these

Hey Madeline
Thanks
For to case out the fog
For Jennifer

TAYLOR SWIFT
 Seems she needed you badly

So I beg on knees
Can we share ID's?
Will you always need?
We have common needs
We can sure deplete
We can be replete
Address table needs
It is swift, your speed

The way I wake up now

Is a brand new way
And no it ain't that way, it was before

So I cannot leave
Yes, I must here stay
'Cause I know what's good
And I'll die that way
No, I cannot seem
To get a moments peace
If there's a man like me
His birch ain't my tree

The way I wake up now

Is a brand new way
It ain't the way it was before

 Gasoline (Remix)
WITH HAIM
BY: ARIEL RECHTSHAID, ROSTAM BATMANGLIJ,
ALANA HAIM, DANIELLE HAIM, ESTE HAIM

You took me back but you shouldn't have

Now it's your fault if I mess around
I took a drag but I shouldn't have
Now I'm coughing up like I've never smoked a pack

Gasoline, pretty please

I want to get off but you're such a tease
Throw the keys back to me
Go on and kick off your boots
In the passenger seat

I get sad, you know I get sad

And I can't look past what I'm sad about
You did me bad
(Did me bad, did me bad)
And I did it back
(Did it back, did it back)
You needed ass, well
What's wrong with that?

Gasoline
(Gasoline)
Pretty please
(Pretty please)
I want to get off

TAYLOR SWIFT
 (Gasoline)
But you're such a tease
Throw the keys
(Throw the keys)
Back to me
(Back to me)
Go on and kick off your boots
(Gasoline)
In the passenger's seat

(Strike a match, strike a match, watch it blow)

We're watching the sunrise from the kitchen counter
(Want you bad, want you bad, don't you know?)
When you're lying between my legs it doesn't matter
(Strike a match, strike a match, watch it blow)
You say you want to go slower but I want to go faster
(I want you bad, want you bad)
Faster and faster

Gasoline, pretty please

I want to get off but you're such a tease

TAYLOR SWIFT
