#suburban legends + stay beautiful

[chloe-or-sam-or-sophia-or-marcus]

I'm taking pictures in my mind so I can save them for a rainy day It's hard to make a conversation when he's taking my breath away– –I know that you still remember we were born to be national treasures, when you told me we'd get back together, and you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever There's pretty girls on every corner They watch him as he's walking home Saying, "Does he know?" You had people who called you on unmarked numbers In my peripheral vision . . . I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer All was quickly forgiven . . . You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious Flush with the currency of cool I should say "Hey, by the way, You're beautiful. . . every little piece, love . . . don't you know? You're really gonna be someone– –Ask anyone– –I didn't come here to make friends, We were born to be suburban legends, When you hold me, it holds me together, and you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever– –And when you find everything you've looked for I hope your love leads you back to my door, Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful . . ." . . . Tick-tock on the clock I pace down your block I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it Waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door, You don't knock anymore . . . And I always knew it– That my life would be ruined

"Stay Beautiful" // "Suburban Legends" Performed together at The Eras Tour | Rio de Janeiro N1

Eras Tour surprise songs parallels

November 17, 2023—Rio de Janeiro: Stay Beautiful / Suburban Legends

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

Something something about Taylor pairing a song written back in high school for someone she and everyone else thought would go on to be bigger than the town and doing great things with one that acknowledges how she was born to be a suburban legend and be bigger than where she came from.

Stay beautiful and gorgeous

Picture to burn and this is why we can’t have nice things

Bye bye baby and the last time

Don’t you and the 1

Don’t you and now that we don’t talk

Back to December and Christmases when you were mine

Christmas tree farm and New Year's Day

Snow on the beach and call it what you want
