I Look in People's Windows lyrics

I had died the tiniest death

I spied the catch in your breath

Out, out, out, out, out, out

Northbound I got carried away

As you boarded your train

South, south, south, south, south, south

A feather taken by the wind blowing

I'm afflicted by the not knowing so

I look in people's windows

Transfixed by rose golden glows

They have their friends over to drink nice wine

I look in people's windows

In case you're at their table

What if your eyes looked up and met mine

One more time

You had stopped and tilted your head

I still ponder what it meant

Now, now, now, now, now, now

I tried searching faces on streets

What are the chances you'd be

Downtown, downtown, downtown

Does it feel alright to not know me?

I'm addicted to the "if only"

So I look in people's windows

Like I'm some deranged weirdo

I attend Christmas parties from outside

I look in people's windows

In case you're at their table

What if your eyes looked up and met mine

One more time

The Manuscript lyrics

Now and then she re-reads the manuscript

Of the entire torrid affair

They compared their licenses

He said, "I'm not a donor but

I'd give you my heart if you needed it"

She rolled her eyes and said, "You're a professional"

He said, "No, just a Good Samaritan"

He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was

Soon they'd be pushing strollers

But soon it was over

In the age of him she wished she was thirty

And made coffee every morning in a French press

Afterward she only ate kids' cereal

And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed

Then she dated boys who were her own age

With dartboards on the backs of their doors

She thought about how he said

Since she was so wise beyond her years

Everything had been above board

She wasn't sure

And the years passed like scenes of a show

The professor said to write what you know

Looking backwards might be the only way

To move forward

Then the actors were hitting their marks

And the slow dance was alight with the sparks

And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score

And at last

She knew what the agony had been for

The only thing that's left is the manuscript

One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

Now and then I re-read the manuscript

But the story isn't mine anymore

The Prophecy lyrics

Hand on the throttle

Thought I caught lightning in a bottle

Oh, but it's gone again

And it was written

I got cursed like Eve got bitten

Oh, was it punishment?

Pad around when I get home

I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope

A greater woman wouldn't beg

But I looked to the sky and said

Please

I've been on my knees

Change the prophecy

Don't want money

Just someone who wants my company

Let it once be me

Who do I have to speak to

About if they can redo

The prophecy?

Cards on the table

Mine play out like fools in a fable, oh

It was sinking in

Sinking in, oh

Slow is the quicksand

Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand

Oh, still I dream of him

Please

I've been on my knees

Change the prophecy

Don't want money

Just someone who wants my company

Let it once be me

Who do I have to speak to

About if they can redo

The prophecy?

And I sound like an infant

Feelin' like the very last drops of an ink pen

A greater woman stays cool

But I howl like a wolf at the moon

And I look unstable

Gathered with a coven round a sorceress' table

A greater woman has faith

But even statues crumble if they're made to wait

I'm so afraid I sealed my fate

No sign of soulmates

I'm just a paperweight

In shades of greige

Spending my last coin so someone will tell me

It'll be ok

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Please

I've been on my knees

Change the prophecy

Don't want money

Just someone who wants my company

Let it once be me

Who do I have to speak to

About if they can redo

The prophecy?

Who do I have to speak to

To change the prophecy?

Hand on the throttle

Thought I caught lightning in a bottle, oh

But it's gone again

Pad around when I get home

I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope

A greater woman wouldn't beg

But I looked to the sky and said

Please

thanK you aIMee lyrics

When I picture my hometown

There's a bronze, spray-tanned statue of you

And a plaque underneath it

That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school

And it was always the same searing pain

But I dreamed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches

I was buildin' somethin'

And I can't forgive the way you made me feel

Screamed, 'fucK you aIMee' to the night sky

As the blood was gushin'

But I can't forget the way you made me heal

And it wasn't a fair fight

Or a clean Kill

Each time that aIMee stomped across my grave

And then she wrote headlines

In the local paper laughing at each baby step I'd take

And it was always the same searing pain

But I prayed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches

I was buildin' somethin'

And I couldn't wait to show you it was real

Screamed 'fucK you aIMee' to the night sky

As the blood was gushin'

But I can't forget the way you made me heal

Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

But she used to say she wished that you were dead

I pushed each boulder up the hill

Your words are still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head

I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool

I built a legacy that you can't undo

But when I count the scars

There's a moment of truth

That there wouldn't be this

If there hadn't been you

And maybe you've reframed it

And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue

I don't think you've changed much

And so I changed your name and any real defining clues

And one day

Your kid comes home singing

A song that only us two is gonna know is about you

'Cause

All that time you were throwin' punches

It was all for nothin'

And our town it looks so small from way up here

Screamed, 'thanK you aIMee'' to the night sky

And the stars are stunnin'

'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal

Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

But she used to say she wished that you were dead

So I pushed each boulder up that hill

Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head

ThanK you aIMee

ThanK you aIMee

Cassandra lyrics

I was in my new house placing daydreams

Patching up the crack along the wall

I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying

'Cause that's where I was when I got the call

When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'

In the streets there's a ragin' riot

When it's, "Burn the bitch", they're shrieking

When the truth comes out it's quiet

So they killed Cassandra first

'Cause she feared the worst

And tried to tell the town

So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say

Do you believe me now?

I was in my tower weaving nightmares

Twisting all my smiles into snarls

They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware

What happens if it becomes who you are?

So they killed Cassandra first

'Cause she feared the worst

And tried to tell the town

So they set my life in flames, I regret to say

Do you believe me now?

They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time

That I was onto somethin'

The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line

They all said nothin'

Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

You can mark my words that I said it first

In a mourning warning no one heard

I patched up the crack along the wall

I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying

'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all

So they killed Cassandra first

'Cause she feared the worst

And tried to tell the town

So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say

Do you believe me now?

I was onto somethin'

They all said nothin'

Blood's thick, but nothin' like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

You can mark my words that I said it first

In a mourning warning no one heard

No one heard

Not a single word was heard

When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'

In the streets there's a ragin' riot

When it's "Burn the bitch", they're shriekin'

When the truth comes out it's quiet

It's so quiet

Peter lyrics

Forgive me, Peter

My lost fearless leader

In closets like cedar

Preserved from when we were just kids

Is it somethin' I did?

The goddess of timing

Once found us beguiling

She said she was trying

Peter, was she lying?

My ribs get the feelin' she did

And I didn't want to come down

I thought it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes

Promises oceans deep

But never to keep

Oh, never to keep

Are you still a mind reader?

A natural scene stealer?

I've heard great things, Peter

But life was always easier on you

Than it was on me

And sometimes it gets me

When crossing your jet stream

We both did the best we could do underneath the same moon

In different galaxies

And I didn't want to hang around

We said it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes

Promises oceans deep

But never to keep

Never to keep

And I won't confess that I waited

But I let the lamp burn

As the men masqueraded

I hoped you'd return

With your feet on the ground

Tell me all that you'd learned

'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty-five

And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired

Lost to the Lost Boys chapter of your life

Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried

To hold onto the days when you were mine (Hold onto the days)

But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes

Promises oceans deep

But never to keep

imgonnagetyouback lyrics

Lilac short skirt

The one that fits me like skin

Did your research

You knew the price goin' in

And I'll tell you one thing, honey

I can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean

Standing at the bar like something's funny, bubbly

Once you fix your face, I'm goin' in

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or

Gonna smash up your bike, I

Haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

Whether I'm gonna curse you out or

Take you back to my house, I

Haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

I hear the whispers in your eyes

I'll make you wanna think twice

You'll find that you were never not mine

You're mine

Small talk, big love

Act like I don't care what you did

I'm an Aston Martin

That you steered straight into the ditch

Then ran and hid

And I'll tell you one thing, honey

I can take the upper hand and touch your body

Flip the script and leave you like a dumb house party

Or I might just love you 'til the end

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or

Gonna smash up your bike, I

Haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

Whether I'm gonna flip you off or

Pull you into the closet

I haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

I hear the whispers in your eyes

I'll make you wanna think twice, you'll find

That you were never not mine

You're mine

I can feel it comin', hummin' in the way you move

Push the reset button, we're becoming something new

Say you got somebody, I'll say, "I got someone too"

Even if it's handcuffed, I'm leaving here with you

Bygones will be bygone eras fadin' into gray

We broke all the pieces but still want to play the game

Told my friends, "I hate you but I love you just the same"

Pick your poison, babe

I'm poison either way

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or

Gonna smash up your bike, I

Haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

Whether I'm gonna curse you out or

Take you back to my house, I

Haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

I hear the whispers in your eyes

I'll make you wanna think twice

You'll find that you were never not mine

I'm gonna get you back

I Hate It Here lyrics

Quick, quick

Tell me something awful

Like you are a poet

Trapped inside the body of a finance guy

Tell me all your secrets

All you'll ever be is

My eternal consolation prize

You see I was a debutant

In another life, but

Now I seem to be scared to go outside

If comfort is a construct

I don't believe in good luck

Now that I know what's what

I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind

People need a key to get to

The only one is mine

I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

I hate it here

My friends used to play a game where

We would pick a decade

We wished we could live in instead of this

I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting married off for the highest bid

Everyone would look down

'Cause it wasn't fun now

Seems like it was never even fun back then

Nostalgia is a mind's trick

If I'd been there, I'd hate it

It was freezing in the palace

I hate it here so I will go to

Lunar valleys in my mind

When they found a better planet

Only the gentle survived

I dreamed about it in the dark

The night I felt like I might die

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

I hate it here

I'm lonely, but I'm good

I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine

I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on purpose

This place made me feel worthless

Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it

And way up there, I actually love it

I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind

People need a key to get to

The only one is mine

I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

I hate it here

Quick, quick

Tell me something awful

Like you are a poet

Trapped inside the body of a finance guy

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus lyrics

Your hologram stumbled into my apartment

Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness

Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus

And I just watched it happen

As the decade would play us for fools

And you saw my bones out with somebody new

Who seemed like he would've bullied you in school

And you just watched it happen

If you want to break my cold, cold heart

Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"

If you want to tear my world apart

Just say you've always wondered

You said some things that I can't unabsorb

You turned me into an idea of sorts

You needed me, but you needed drugs more

And I couldn't watch it happen

I changed into goddesses, villains, and fools

Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules

All to outrun my desertion of you

And you just watched it

If you want to break my cold, cold heart

Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"

If you want to tear my world apart

Just say you've always wondered

If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh

Down that passage in time

Back to the moment I crashed into you

Like so many wrecks do

Too impaired by my youth

To know what to do

So if I sell my apartment

And you have some kids with an internet starlet

Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon?

Like it never happened

Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?

Can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses?

Cooler in theory, but not if you force it

To be, it just didn't happen

So if you want to break my cold, cold heart

Say you loved me

And if you want to tear my world apart

Say you'll always wonder

'Cause I wonder

Will I always

Will I always wonder?

The Albatross lyrics

Wise men once said

"Wild winds are death to the candle"

A rose by any other name is a scandal

Cautions issued, he stood

Shooting the messengers

They tried to warn him about her

Cross your thoughtless heart

Only liquor anoints you

She's the albatross

She is here to destroy you

Wise men once said

"One bad seed kills the garden"

"One less temptress

One less dagger to sharpen"

Locked me up in towers

But I'd visit in your dreams

And they tried to warn you about me

Cross your thoughtless heart

Only liquor anoints you

She's the albatross

She is here to destroy you

Devils that you know

Raise worse hell than a stranger

She's the death you chose

You're in terrible danger

And when that sky rains fire on you

And you're persona non grata

I'll tell you how I've been there too

And that none of it matters

Wise men once read fake news

And they believed it

Jackals raised their hackles

You couldn't conceive it

You were sleeping soundly when they dragged you from your bed

And I tried to warn you about them

So I crossed my thoughtless heart

Spread my wings like a parachute

I'm the albatross

I swept in at the rescue

The devil that you know

Looks now more like an angel

I'm the life you chose

And all this terrible danger

So cross your thoughtless heart

She's the albatross

She is here to destroy you

[ohdorothea]

they say the road gets hard and you get lost when you're led by blind faith, blind faith

The Bolter lyrics

By all accounts, she almost drowned

When she was six in frigid water

And I can confirm she made

A curious child, ever reviled

By everyone except her own father

With a quite bewitching face

Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless

Excellent fun till you get to know her

Then she runs like it's a race

Behind her back, her best mates laughed

And they nicknamed her The Bolter

Started with a kiss

"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evening

Ended with the slam of a door

Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore

But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing

All her fuckin' lives

Flashed before her eyes

It feels like the time

She fell through the ice

Then came out alive

He was a cad, wanted her bad

Just like any good trophy hunter

And she liked the way it tastes

Taming a bear, making him care

Watching him jump then pulling him under

And at first blush, this is fate

When it's all roses, portrait poses

Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats

What a charming Saturday

That's when she sees the littlest leaks

Down in the floorboards

And she just knows

She must bolt

Started with a kiss

"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evening

Ended with the slam of a door

Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore

But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing

All her fuckin' lives

Flashed before her eyes

It feels like the time

She fell through the ice

Then came out alive

She's been many places with

Men of many faces

First they're off to the races

And she's laughing drawin' aces

But, none of it is changin'

That the chariot is waitin'

Hearts are hers for the breakin'

There's escape in escaping

Started with a kiss

"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

But it always ends with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evenin'

Ended with the slam of a door

But she's got the best stories

You can be sure

That as she was leaving

It felt like freedom

All her fuckin' lives

Flashed before her eyes

And she realized

It feels like the time

She fell through the ice

Then came out alive

How Did It End? lyrics

We hereby conduct this post mortem

He was a hothouse flower to my outdoorsman

Our maladies were such we could not cure them

And so a touch that was my birthright became foreign

Come one, come all

It's happening again

The empathetic hunger descends

We'll tell no one except all of our friends

We must know

How did it end?

We were blind to unforeseen circumstances

We learned the right steps to different dances

And fell victim to interlopers' glances

Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?

Soon they'll go home to their husbands

Smug 'cause they know they can trust him

Then feverishly calling their cousins

Guess who we ran into at the shops

Walking in circles like she was lost

Didn't you hear they called it all off

One gasp, and then

How did it end?

Say it once again with feeling

How the death rattle breathing

Silenced as the soul was leaving

The deflation of our dreaming

Leaving me bereft and reeling

My beloved ghost and me

Sitting in a tree

D-Y-I-N-G

It's happening again

How did it end?

I can't pretend like I understand

How did it end?

Come one, come all

It's happening again

The empathetic hunger descends

We'll tell no one except all of our friends

But I still don't know

How did it end?

So High School lyrics

I feel so high school

Every time I look at you

I want to find you in a crowd

Just to hide from you

And in the blink of a crinklin' eye

I'm sinkin', our fingers entwined

Cheeks pink in the twinklin' lights

Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me

I'll drink what you think and I'm high

From smokin' your jokes all damn night

The brink of a wrinkle in time

Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

I'm watchin' American Pie with you on a Saturday night

Your friends are around, so be quiet

I'm tryin' to stifle my sighs

'Cause I feel so high school

Every time I look at you

But look at you

Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?

Kill me

It's just a game, but really

Really

I'm bettin' on all three for us two

All three

Get my car door, isn't that sweet

That sweet

Then pull me to the backseat

Backseat

No one's ever had me, not like you

Had me

Truth, dare, spin bottles

You know how to ball, I know Aristotle

Brand new, full throttle

Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto

It's true, swear, scouts honor

You knew what you wanted, and, boy, you got her

Brand new, full throttle

You already know, babe

I feel like laughin'

In the middle of practice

Do that impression you did of your dad again

I'm hearin' voices, like a madman

And in the blink of a crinklin' eye

I'm sinkin', our fingers entwined

Cheeks pink in the twinklin' lights

Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me

I'll drink what you think and I'm high

From smokin' your jokes all damn night

The brink of a wrinkle in time

Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night

Your friends are around, so be quiet

I'm tryin' to stifle my sighs

'Cause I feel so high school

Every time I look at you

But look at you

Truth, dare, spin bottles

You know how to ball, I know Aristotle

Brand new, full throttle

Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto

It's true, swear, scouts honor

You knew what you wanted, and, boy, you got her

Brand new, full throttle

You already know, babe

You already know, babe

The Black Dog lyrics

I am someone who, until recent events

You shared your secrets with

And your location

You forgot to turn it off

And so I watch as you walk

Into some bar called The Black Dog

And pierce new holes in my heart

You forgot to turn it off

And it hits me

I just don't understand

How you don't miss me

In The Black Dog

When someone plays 'The Starting Line' and you jump up

But she's too young to know this song

That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming

Old habits die screaming

I move through the world with the heartbroken

My longings stay unspoken

And I may never open up the way I did for you

And all of those best laid plans

You said I needed a brave man

Then proceeded to play him

Until I believed it too

And it kills me

I just don't understand

How you don't miss me

In the shower

And remember

How my rain-soaked body was shaking

Do you hate me?

Was it hazing?

For a cruel fraternity I pledged

And I still mean it

Old habits die screaming

Six weeks of breathing clean air

I still miss the smoke

Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke?

Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes

And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons

Even if I die screaming

And I hope you hear it

And I hope it's shitty

In The Black Dog

When someone plays The Starting Line and you jump up

But she's too young to know this song

That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming

'Cause tail between your legs you're leaving

And I still can't believe it

'Cause old habits die screaming

willow lyrics

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

And 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

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

Every bait-and-switch was a work of art

That's my man

Hey, that's my man

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

ivy lyrics

How's one to know?

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

I wish to know

The fatal flaw that makes you long to be

Magnificently cursed

He's in the room

Your opal eyes are all I wish to see

He wants what's only yours

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

Clover blooms in the fields

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

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

And I'm covered in you

So yeah, it's a fire

It's a goddamn blaze in the dark

And you started it

You started it

So yeah, it's a war

It's the goddamn fight of my life

And you started it

You started it

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

In you

Now I'm covered in you

In you

right where you left me lyrics

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

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

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

happiness lyrics

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 a beautiful fool

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

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

can we PLEASE talk about how taylor swift really built an entire album around a car metaphor for a toxic relationship. like. she feels like this luxury car he crashed years ago!expensive, rare, irreplaceable… but she still wants him. so what does she do?? she tells him to go ahead, buy the car he wants. but here’s the thingggg the car won’t even start unless he touches her again.

and the wild part?? it works. he gets the car. so she lets go of her past and jumps in with him, ready to ride or die. they’re barely at the starting line before they’re breaking every rule, flooring it, crashing through fences like manic teenagers in love.

but then?? he starts throwing spikes on the road. like metaphorical sabotage. and she sees it, she knows it’s dangerous, but she doesn’t care because the ride is just so intoxicating. she’s addicted to the chaos and danger.

But of course. OF COURSE. he crashes it. again. AT HER OWN PARTY and he just drives away. To leave her stranded and safe, but right back at the start.

and the worst part??? she realizes he never even bought the car. it was a RENTAL. just like she was to him.
