Long Live (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift

The drought was the very worst Ah-ah, ah-ah When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst It was months and months of back and forth Ah-ah, ah-ah You're still all over me Like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore Hung my head as I lost the war And the sky turned black like a perfect storm The rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean There was nothing left to do Ah-ah, ah-ah When the butterflies turnеd to dust that covered my whole room So I punchеd a hole in the roof Ah-ah, ah-ah Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you The water filled my lungs I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean I think I am finally clean Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah Said I think I am finally clean Ah-ah-ah Ten months sober, I must admit Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it Ten months older, I won't give in Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it The drought was the very worst Ah-ah, ah-ah When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst (Whoa) The rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean The rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning, gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean Finally clean Think I'm finally clean Ah-ah, ah-ah Think I'm finally clean

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 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 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 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 some day When they point to the pictures Please tell 'em my name Tell 'em how the crowds went wild Tell 'em 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 All 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 that look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered

He said, "Let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowds" I thought, "Heaven can't help me now" Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down He's so tall, and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha I said, "No one has to know what we do" His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room And his voice is a familiar sound Nothing lasts forever But this is getting good now He's so tall, and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request, it is Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (ah-ah, ha) Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night Burning it down Someday when you leave me, I bet these memories Follow you around You'll see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night Burning (burning) it (it) down (down) Someday when you leave me, I bet these memories Follow (follow) you (you) around (around) (Follow you around) Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again, even if it's just pretend Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your (just pretend, just pretend) Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (ah-ah-ah-ah) Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha (Even if it's just in your) wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha In your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly Loving him is like trying to change your mind Once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone Forgetting him was like tryin' know somebody you never met But loving him was red Loving him was red Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted Was right there in front of you Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words To your old favorite song Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword And realizing there's no right answer Regretting him was like wishing you never found out That love could be that strong Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone Forgetting him was like tryin' know somebody you never met But loving him was red Oh, red Burning red Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself, "It's time now, gotta let go" But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red Burning, it was red Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark gray, all alone Forgetting him was like tryin' to know Somebody you never met 'Cause loving him was red Yeah, yeah, red We're burning red And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head Comes back to me, burning red Yeah, yeah His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

It feels like a perfect night To dress up like hipsters And make fun of our exes Ah-ah, ah-ah It feels like a perfect night For breakfast at midnight To fall in love with strangers Ah-ah, ah-ah Yeah, we're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time It's miserable and magical, oh yeah Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines It's time, oh-oh I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you You don't know about me, but I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22 22 It seems like one of those nights This place is too crowded Too many cool kids Ah ah, ah ah ("Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew") It seems like one of those nights We ditched the whole scene And end up dreaming, instead of sleeping Yeah, we're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way It's miserable and magical, oh yeah Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks It's time, oh-oh (Hey!) I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you You don't know about me, but I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright (alright) if we just keep dancing like we're 22 (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 22 (I don't know about you) 22 22 (It feels like one of those nights) We ditched the whole scene (It feels like one of those nights) We won't be sleeping (It feels like one of those nights) You look like bad news I gotta have you I gotta have you Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah (Hey!)

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 And you've still got it in your drawer even now Oh, your sweet disposition And my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all 'Cause there we are again on that little town street You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at me Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well Photo album on the counter Your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team You told me 'bout your past thinkin' your future was me And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to 'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light Down the stairs, I was there I remember it all too well, yeah And maybe, we got lost in translation Maybe, I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all Too well Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence And it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Ah-ah, ah Ah-ah, ah 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 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 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 Flash 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 parents' mistakes But 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 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 Do you remember all the city lights on the water? You saw me start 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 Oh-oh, oh And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m. As everything was slipping right out of our hands I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street Braced myself for the goodbye 'Cause that's all I've ever known Then you took me by surprise You said, "I'll never leave you alone" You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water And every time I look at you, it's like the first time I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter She is the best thing that's ever been mine" Hold on and make it last Hold on, ever turn back (Hold on) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter (Hold on) you are the best thing that's ever been mine Do you believe it? We're gonna make it now And I can see it (yeah, yeah) I can see it now

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta

Through the Juno bush, you see her lips are miming Gwen Stefani The horizon takes a trip along her body Staring at the posters on your wall As they talk about my chances Boy, you're so tragic Your floor was damaged from months ago Where you dropped a hot comb dancing to neo-soul The trees are gold on your iPhone background Which is funny 'cause you cut down Like eight last spring for the view now How's it look, baby? How's it feel? Is it too much for you? Big fucking deal Me, me, me That's all we know Me, me, me That's all we know You might think you do But I bet you don't You might think you do But I bet you don't I heard you joined the peace corps Planting ferns and feeding the poor You're not so bad anymore Me, me, me That's all we know Me, me, me That's all we know You might think you do But I bet you don't You might think you do But I bet you don't
