There's somethin' about the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
He made me notice things that I usually don't, I paid attention to things that, to me, were usually unimportant. I started watching sports & certain T.V. shows just so we would have something to talk about. He knew I had a tendency to be a bit odd and different from everyone else, but he didn't seem to care. I liked that he was ok with the fact that I wasn't like other girls.
Yeah
Oh yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
Do you honestly know how much I tried to avoid falling for you? I don't even know when it happened. I just remember waking up one morning & not seeing my good friend, but this guy that I wanted to impress, who I wanted to like me as much as I liked him.
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absentmindedly makin' me want you
You did so many little things that made me fall for you even more. The original nickname, the random hugs, the way you made me feel like the the only girl in the room even though I wasn't.
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
I don't know how it can get any better than how I felt when I was with you, just hanging out, talking, whatever. You brought out a different side of me. I liked that side of me and don't know how to be it without you in my life.
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
I was brave with you. You made me consider doing things I would have never thought of other wise. I was more honest with you than I've ever been with anyone my entire life. Everything I told you was the complete truth and exactly how I was feeling. I told you things before I told some of my best friends. I trusted you!
So baby drive slow
'Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture it, remember it
I don't think ____ would be considered a "one horse town" but it's pretty small. I can't and won't believe that that night at the game meant nothing to you. I don't remember who played, or what happened, but hanging out in your truck afterwards, just talking and goofing off, I didn't want to leave. I wanted you to say that you would take me home later and go grab ice cream or something and just be with you. I'm starting to realize what it's like to lose a friend, and it HURTS.
(Chorus)
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
I'm not an open an honest person for the most part. I have a tough exterior when it comes to guys. Somehow you broke through that. I let you in and guess what? I got hurt.
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's a first kiss,
It's flawless,
Really something,
It's fearless
My mommy always told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. That's probably what I should do regarding that section of lyrics. Let's put it this way, I didn't get the fairy tale ending. I didn't get to be with you like I wanted to be. I don't know what happened or where it all went wrong, but you left me standing on that doorstep, not with a kiss, but with a broken heart.
Oh yeah
(Chorus 2x)
Oh, oh yeah
Thanks to Taylor, as usually, her lyrics have made me stop and think and really evaluate everything. I honestly can not wait to see her perform live.
Love,
Jen
