Taylor Swift Album

You were in college working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling
Wondering why we'd bother with love, if it never lasts

I say can you believe it
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes
I can see it now

Do you remember when we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Fast forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parent's mistakes

We got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about

Do you remember when we sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw I started to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

And I remember that fight til 2:30 am
You said everything was slipping out of our hands
I went out crying and you followed me out to the streets

Brace myself for the goodbye
Causes it's all i've ever known
When you took me by surprise
You said I never leave you alone

You said
I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And everytime I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with acareless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine

Hold on
Make it last
Hold on
Never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Yeah, do you believe it?
Gonna make it last
And I can see it
I can see it now

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
and I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless that you send me running but I
kind of know that I won't get far.

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

My mind forgets to remind me
that you're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be

I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you, I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
It's just strong enough to make you feel right
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'm captivated by you, baby
like a fireworks show

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
Small talk: work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Because the last time you saw me will still burn in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride, standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you, wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time

These days I haven't been sleepin'
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side and
I realized I loved you in the fall
Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride, standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you, wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This is me swallowing my pride, standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you, wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it aright
i go back to December turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

This is surely not what you thought it would be
And I loose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say

(Chorus)
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the back door
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me now
And they said speak now

Fun gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be

She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me
Don’t you?

(Chorus)

Don’t say yes, run away now
I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor
Don’t wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out and they said speak now

I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
There’s the silence, there’s my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I’m only looking at you

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

(Chorus)

And you say let's run away now
I’ll meet when I’m out of my tux at the backdoor
Baby I didn’t say my vows, so glad you were around
When they said ‘Speak now’

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps, praying the floor wont fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore I was fine

You paint a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain
When I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well I stopped picking up, and this song to let you know why

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe its you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret, I ignored when they said run as fast as you can

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

Dear John,
I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played by your dark twisted games?
When I loved you so

I should've known

You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you run dry
Have dried lifeless eyes
Cause you burned them out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song

You should've known.
You should've known.

Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known.

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 chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man

Well 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 ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to 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'll never impress you
I just wanna 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 ol' city

And all you're ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to 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
Drunk and grumbling 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 ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

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
It was the spot next to you
Now I'm searching 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 fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up, I cant break through

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like its killing 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?
See me nervously pulling my clothes and trying to look busy
And you're doing 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 standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like its killing 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 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 standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like its killing 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 Now

Yeah, we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you?
Like it's killing me
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.

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you everything's funny
You've got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

I wont let nobody hurt you
Wont let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up

Never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom is dropping you off
At 14 there is just so much you cant do
And you cant wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
Don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school

Oh darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

And no one's every burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up


Take pictures in your mind
Of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like
When your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps
Remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh I dont wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple

Oh darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to
Please try to never grow up

Don't you ever grow up
Never grow up
Just never grow up

There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered have we met?
Cross the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling don't you let it go
Alone I strut, blushing on the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you know
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up
2 AM... who do you love?
I wonder til I'm wide awake

And now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
Hey, it was enchanting to meet you

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling don't you let it go
Alone I strut, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you know

This night is flawless
Don't you let it go
I wanna strut, dancing round all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you know
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again

These are the words I held back
As I was leaning to say
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I wanna strut, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless
Don't you let it go
I wanna strut, dancing round all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you know
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and lets hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage

I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, woah
But she's better known
For things that she does on the mattress, woah

Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make him any friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge

She lives through life like its a party
And she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend
And she's so over it
I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling
She thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things

But sophistication isn't what you wear and who you know
Not pushing people down to get you where you want to go
They don't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, woah
But she's better known
For things that she does on the mattress, woah

Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make him any friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge

I'm just another thing for you roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but haven't you heard

I'm just another thing for you roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but, I always get the last word

Woah

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, woah
But she's better known
For things that she does on the mattress, woah

Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make him any friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
Cause I don't think you do
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do
Don't think you do

Lets cue the applause
Come on show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better

She took him faster than you can say sabotage!

Guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your war path
Lost your balance on a tight rope
Lost your mind trying to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
And everybody believed in you

It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who your are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

Still an innocent

Did some things you can't speak of
But tonight you live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly catching days
When everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep
Before the monsters caught up to you

It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
Thirty two and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Minds change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never too late to be brand new.

It's alright just wait and see your
String of lights are still bright to me
Who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay life is a tough crowd
32 and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

Lost your balance on a tight rope
It's never too late to get it back

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break

It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
And I cant trust anything now
And I'm screaming over you
Like it's all a big mistake

Woah losing my breath
WOah losing you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, Come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted

Come on, Come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Cant breathe whenever you're gone
Cant turn back, now I'm haunted

Stood there,
Watched you walk away from everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He may try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time
I'm wishing he was you instead

Oh oh, holding my breath
Woah, I'll see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing

Come on, Come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted

Come on, Come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Cant breathe whenever you're gone
Cant turn back, now I'm haunted

I know
I know

I just know
You're not gone
You can't be gone
No!

Come on, Come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started

Come on, Come on
Don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Cant breathe whenever you're gone
Cant go back, I'm haunted

Ohhh

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it...

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness, at 158?
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me, so why did you go away?

I do recall now, the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That you lie nines??
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss...

I never thought we'd have our last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember the swing in you step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes, and you pull me in
I'm not much for dancing, but for you I did

Because I love your handshake meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
And all that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss...

I never thought we'd have our last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

So I'll watch your life in pictures
Like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me, like I used to fear
And breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends
Just to ask them how you are

Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines, and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change the weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind

So I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have our last kiss
I never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss

Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips

Just like our last

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
All 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 passed the pictures around
Of all the years we stood their 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!"
'Cuz for a moment a band of thieves in ripped-up jeans
Got to rule the world.

Long live
The walls we crashed through
All 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 the 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.

Can 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 some day
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 live
The walls we crashed through
All 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

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.

Elevator buttons in morning air
Strangers silence makes me wanna 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 but my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look 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 look 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 their 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 look 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 ours

The stakes are high, the water's rough
BOut this love is ours

Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though I know you're not there
I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinking about everything we've been through
Maybe I've been back going too much lately
When time stood still and I had you

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Standing in the rain outside until I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you'd be here by now

I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Wrapped up in your arms and our friends were laughing
Because nothing like this ever happened to them
Now I'm pacing down the hall
Chasing down your street
Flashback to the night when you said to me
That nothing's going to change, not for me and you
That was before I knew how much I had to lose

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Standing in the rain outside until I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you'd be here by now

If you're out there, if you're somewhere, if you're moving on
I've been waiting for you ever since you've been gone
I just want it back the way it was before
And I just want to see you back at my front door
And I'd say

Come back, come back, come back to me like you would
Before you said it's not that easy
Before the fight, before I let you walk
But I take it all back now

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Standing in the rain outside until I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you'd be here by now

You'd be here by now
It's not the kind of ending you'd want to see now
Baby, what about the ending
I thought you'd be here by now
Thought you'd be here by now

Tall, dark and Superman
He puts his papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me
He's got his mothers eyes and his fathers ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say, yeah

And you'll smile and say how are you
I'll say just fine
I always forget to tell you I love you
I'll love you forever

I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
To save the world, I'll be around
And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

Tall, dark and beautiful
He's complicated, he's irrational
But I hope someday he'll take me away
And save the day, yeah
Something in his deep brown eyes has me singing
He's not all bad like his reputation
And I can't hear one single word they said

You and me have places to be
And I'll be okay
I always forget to tell you, I love you
I loved you from the very first day

I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
To save the world, I'll be around
And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

And I watched you fly around the world
And I hope you don't text another girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me
I'm far away but I'd never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the card was from you

Because I loved you from the very first day

I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
To save the world, I'll be around
Forever and ever
I watched Superman fly away
I swear I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

La la la la la

When you come back down
