This may seem a little weird to put up here, but once you read it, hopefully it will make sense. Basically this was a challenge to show that Taylor Swift lyrics could be interpreted as more than just break up and love lyrics. The only rules I had were:
- I had to use multiple songs
- I couldn’t change the lyrics
- I couldn’t add any words that weren’t Taylor Swift lyrics
The storyline is of me and an ex. It really just goes through the highs and lows of our relationship, not just as a romantic couple, but also as friends. Basically what happened was we met when we were in our early teenaged years, I grew a crush on him but he already had a girlfriend, we eventually got together before having a messy breakup, we became friends again and he opened up and came out as gay, he got ridiculed and eventually he took his own life. Anyway I hope you like it.
We were both young when I first saw you
Just a small town boy and girl, living in a crazy world
I didn’t know what I would find
But I’m ready to fly
I still remember the look on your face
Cried the whole way home, I should’ve known
He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
This is wrong but I can’t help but feel like there ain’t nothing more right babe
But she wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She’ll never see the way your eyes light up when you smile
You saw me there, but you never knew
You belong with me… you belong with me.
Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together
It was the night things changed
You said, “I remember how we felt sitting by the water
You’re beautiful, every little piece loveâ€
Wish I had concentrated, they said love was complicated
You took a swing, I took it hard
I came out alive but I’m black and blue
Tell me why
All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around
’cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them
Stupid girl, I should have known, I should have known
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see
This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Then you took me by surprise, you said, “I’ll never leave you alone.”
I don’t think that passenger seat has ever looked this good to me
I wore a dress, you wore a dark grey t-shirt
Everything I need is right here by my side
To you everything’s funny, you got nothing to regret
“That’s fine, I’ll tell mine you’re gayâ€
And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind
Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest?
And now that I’m sitting here thinking it through, I’ve never been anywhere cold as you
She looks at life like it’s a party and she’s on the list
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
So drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain
And that’s the way I loved you
And I remember that fight 2:30 AM as everything was slipping right out of our hands
“Come on, come on, don’t leave me like thisâ€
Never imagined we’d end like this
It’s getting dark and it’s all too quiet and I can’t trust anything now
And I can’t breathe without you, but I have to breathe without you
And when you’re fifteen, don’t forget to look before you fall
I’d go back to December, turn around and make it all right
But if this was a movie you’d be here by now
