Ours AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

Elevator buttons in morning air

Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs

If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares

But right now my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves

They'll judge it like they know about me and you

And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do

The jury's out, my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love work hard

The stakes are high, the water's rough

But this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves

Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me

Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles

But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And you'll say

Don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love work hard

The stakes are high, the water's rough

But this love is ours

And it's not theirs to speculate

If it's wrong and

Your hands are tough

But they are where mine belong and

I'll fight that doubt and give you faith

With this song for you

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth

And I love the riddles that you speak

And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored

'Cause my heart is yours

So don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love work hard

Don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

But they can't take what's ours

They can't take what's ours

The stakes are high, the water's rough

But this love is ours

Mean AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

You, with your words like knives,

And swords and weapons that you use against me.

You, have knocked me off my feet again,

Got me feeling like a nothing.

You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board,

calling me out when I'm wounded.

You, picking on the weaker man,

You can take me down,

with just one single blow.

But you don't know,

What you don't know.

Someday I'll be

Living in a big old city,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides,

And your wildfire lies and your humiliation.

You, have pointed out my flaws again.

As if I don't already see them.

I walk with my head down,

Trying to block you out, 'cause I never impress you.

I just want to feel okay again.

I bet you got pushed around,

Somebody made you cold.

But the cycle ends right now

'Cause you can't lead me down that road.

And you don't know,

What you don't know.

Someday I'll be

Living in a big old city,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me.

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar,

Talking over a football game.

With that same big loud opinion,

But nobody's listening.

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things.

Drunken and rumbling on about

How I can't sing.

But all you are is mean.

All you are is mean,

And a liar,

And pathetic,

And alone in life.

And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean!

But someday I'll be

Living in a big old city,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

YEAH EAH!

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday I'll be

Living in a big old city,

(why you gotta be so mean)

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

(why you gotta be so mean)

Someday I'll be

Big enough so you can't hit me,

(why you gotta be so mean)

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

Both Of Us AZ Lyrics By BoB

(feat. Taylor Swift)

[Taylor Swift - Chorus]

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us

Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

[B.o.B]

Ever thought about losing it?

When your money is all gone and you lose your whip

You might lose your grip

When the landlord tell you that you're due for rent

And the grass so green on the other side

Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence

Open up the fridge about 20 times

But still can't find no food in it

That's foolishness

And sometimes I wonder

All we care so much about the way we look

And the way we talk, and the way we act

And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?

Does it even really matter?

Cuz if life is an uphill battle,

We all try to climb on the same old ladder

In the same boat with the same old paddle

Why so shallow, I'm just asking

What's the pattern to the madness?

Everybody in a #1 draft pick

Most of us aint Hollywood actors

But if it's all for one, and one for all

Then maybe one day we all can ball

Do it one time for the underdogs

Sincerely yours, from one of y'all

[Taylor Swift - Chorus]

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us

Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

[B.o.B]

I can feel your pain,

I can feel your struggle

You just want to live

But everything so low,

That you can drown in the puddle

That's why I gotta hold us up

Yeah hold us up

For all the times no one ever spoke for us

So every single time that they play this song

You can say that, "that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us"

When his eyes get too high

And the sea up underneath get so deep

And you feel like you're just another person

Getting lost in the crowd

Way up high in the nosebleeds (Uh)

Because we've both been there

Yeah both of us

But we still stand tall

With our shoulders up

And even though we always against the odds

These are the things that have molded us

And if life hadn't chosen us

Sometimes I wonder

Where I would have wound up

Cuz if it was up to me

I would make a new blueprint

Then build it from the ground up

Hey, but if its all for one

And One for all

Then maybe one day

We all could ball

Do it one time for the underdogs

From Bobby Ray to all of y'all

[Taylor Swift - Chorus]

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us

Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

Picture To Burn AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

State the obvious

I didn't get my perfect fantasy

I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me

So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy

That's fine; I'll tell mine your gay, and by the way....

I hate that stupid old pick up truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak

Who's really bad at lying

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

There's nothing stopping me

From goin' out with all of your best friends.

And if you come around

Saying sorry to me

My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be

'Cause I hate that stupid old pick up truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak

Who's really bad at lying

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

Cuz coming back around here

Would be bad for your health

'Cause I hate that stupid old pick up truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak

Who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

In case you haven't heard

I really really hate that stupid old pick up truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak

Who's really bad at lying

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

you're just another picture to burn

Baby, burn.....

The Story Of Us AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly

And people would say, "They're the lucky ones".

I used to know my place was a spot next to you

Now I'm searchin' the room for an empty seat

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Oh, a simple complication,

Miscommunications lead to fallout

So many things that I wish you knew

So many walls up I can't break through

Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room and we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you like it's killin' me, yeah

I don't know what to say,

Since the twist of fate when it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Next chapter.

How'd we end up this way?

You see me nervously pulling at my clothes and tryin' to look busy

And you're doin' your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us,

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here

But you held your pride like you should've held me

Oh, I'm scared to see the ending,

Why are we pretending this is nothing?

I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how

I've never heard silence quite this loud

Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room and we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you like it's killin' me, yeah

I don't know what to say,

Since the twist of fate when it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest

Of who can act like they care less

But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battle's in your hands now

But I would lay my armor down

If you say you'd rather love than fight

So many things that you wish I knew

But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room and we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you like it's killin' me, yeah

I don't know what to say,

Since the twist of fate when it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speakin'

And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you like it's killin' me, yeah

I don't know what to say,

Since the twist of fate, 'cause we're going down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

The end.

Half of My Heart AZ Lyrics By John Mayer

(with Taylor Swift)

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends

Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been

Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing

Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

CHORUS

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation

Half of my heart takes time

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

That I can't keep loving you, oh, with half of my heart

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else

I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself

Lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came

Showing me another way and all that my love can bring

CHORUS

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation

Half of my heart takes time

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

That I can't keep loving you, oh, with half of my heart

Your faith is strong, but I can only fall short for so long

Down the road, later on you will hate that I never

Gave more to you than half of my heart

But I can't stop loving you (Taylor Swift: I can't stop loving you)

But I can't stop loving you (Taylor Swift: I can't stop loving you)

But I can't stop loving you with half of my --

Half of my heart

Half of my heart

Half of my heart's got a real good imagination

Half of my heart's got you

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

That half of my heart won't do

Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding

To a bride with a paper ring

And half of my heart is the part of a man

Who's never truly loved anything

Half of my heart

Half of my heart

Half of my heart

Half of my heart

Half of my heart

half of my heart

You Belong With Me AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

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

But 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 of 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 then 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 '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

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 were 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

Long Live AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

I said remember this moment

In the back of my mind

The time we stood with our shaking hands

The crowds in stands went wild

We were the kings and the queens

And they read off our names

The night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same

You held your head like a hero on a history book page

It was the end of a decade

But the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

I said remember this feeling

I pass the pictures around

Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines

Wishing for right now

We are the kings and the queens

You traded your baseball cap for a crown

When they gave us our trophies

And we held them up for our town

And the cynics were outraged

Screaming this is absurd

Cause for a moment a band of thieves

In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders

I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

I was screaming long live that look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

Hold on to spinning around

Confetti falls to the ground

May these memories break our fall

Will you take a moment, promise me this

That you'll stand by me forever

But if God forbid fate should step in

And force us into a goodbye

If you have children someday

When they point to the pictures

Please tell them my name

Tell them how the crowds went wild

Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live the walls we crashed through

I had the time of my life with you

Long long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

And I was screaming long live

All the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

Singing long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

And long long live the look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

Love Story AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

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 that'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, lets keep this down 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 that'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 try 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

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, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Eyes Open AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

Everybody's waiting

Everybody's watching

Even when you're sleeping

Keep your ey-eyes open

The tricky thing is yesterday

We were just children

Playing soldiers, just pretending

Dreaming dreams with happy endings

In backyards, winning battles

With our wooden swords

But now we've stepped into a cruel world

Where everybody stands and keeps score

Keep your eyes open

CHORUS

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

So here you are, two steps ahead

And staying on guard

Every lesson forms a new scar

They never thought you'd make it this far

But turn around (turn around)

They've surrounded you it's a, a showdown

And nobody comes to save you now

But you've got something they don't

Yeah you've got something they don't

You've just gotta keep your eyes open

CHORUS

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your feet ready

Heartbeat steady

Keep your eyes open

Keep your aim locked

The night goes dark

Keep your eyes open

CHORUS

Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown

Everybody's watching to see the fallout

Even when you're sleeping, sleeping

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Keep your eyes open

Safe & Sound AZ Lyrics By Taylor Swift

(feat. The Civil Wars)

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and past tonight.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window

Darling everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold on to this lullaby

Even when the music's gone

gone

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound
