Songs from the First Line(s) - 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

I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser / Midnights become my afternoons / When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people

I was riding shotgun / With my hair undone / In the front seat of his car / He's got a one-hand feel / On the steering wheel / The other on my heart

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

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him / Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted / But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom

I stay out too late / Got nothing in my brain / That's what people say, mmm-mmm / That's what people say, mmm-mmm / I go on too many dates

He said, "Let's get out of this town / Drive out of this city, away from the crowds" / I thought, "Heaven can't help me now" / Nothing lasts forever

You are somebody that I don't know / But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón / And I'm just like, "Damn! / It's 7 AM" / Say it in the street, that's a knock-out

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street / Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

I remember when we broke up the first time / Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like / We hadn't seen each other in a month / When you said you needed space. (What?)

I had a bad habit / Of missing lovers past / My brother used to call it / "Eating out of the trash," it's never gonna last / I thought my house was haunted

I don't like your little games / Don't like your tilted stage / The role you made me play / Of the fool, no, I don't like you / I don't like your perfect crime

Say you're sorry / That face of an angel / Comes out just when you need it to / As I paced back and forth all this time / 'Cause I honestly believed in you / Holding on

I was supposed to be sent away, but they forgot to come and get me / I was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new aesthetic

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

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) / Fever dream high in the quiet of the night / You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it) / Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

Don't blame me / Love made me crazy / If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right / Lord, save me / My drug is my baby / I'll be using for the rest of my life

Nice to meet you, where you been? / I could show you incredible things / Magic, madness, heaven, sin / Saw you there, and I thought / "Oh my God, look at that face

Midnight / You come and pick me up, no headlights / Long drive / Could end in burning flames or paradise / Fade into view, oh, it's been a while since I have even heard from you

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 I'm nothing

Drew looks at me / I fake a smile so he won't see / That I want and I'm needing / Everything that we should be / I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters / And make fun of our exes, uh uh, uh uh / It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight / To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh

Vintage tee, brand new phone / High heels on cobblestones / When you are young, they assume you know nothing / Sequin smile, black lipstick / Sensual politics

I promise that you'll never find another like me / I know that I'm a handful baby, uh / I know I never think before I jump / And you're the kind of guy the ladies want

All I knew this morning when I woke / Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before / And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago / Is green eyes and freckles and your smile

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago / I was in your sights, you got me alone / You found me, you found me, you found me / I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood / You know it used to be mad love / So take a look what you've done / 'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood / Hey

You were in college working part-time waiting tables / Left a small town, and never looked back / I was a flight risk with a fear of falling

I heard you calling on the megaphone / You wanna see me all alone / As legend has it, you / Are quite the pyro / You light the match to watch it blow

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold / But something 'bout it felt like home somehow / And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
