The Great War
The Great War
(Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift)
My knuckles were bruised like violets
Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
And maybe it was egos swinging
Maybe it was her
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh, tears on the lеtter
I vowed not to cry anymore
If wе survived the Great War
You drew up some good faith treaties
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
And maybe it’s the past that’s talking
Screaming from a crypt
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
So I justified it
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh, the burning embers
I vowed not to fight anymore
If we survived the Great War
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It turned into something bigger
Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I’d been betrayed
Your finger on my hairpin trigger
Soldier down on that icy ground
Looked up at me with honor and truth
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
That was the night I nearly lost you
I really thought I’d lost you
We can plant a memory garden
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
There’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fair
And we will never go back
To that bloodshed, crimson clover
Uh-huh, the worst was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh, we’re burned for better
I vowed I would always be yours
‘Cause we survived the Great War
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I will always be yours
‘Cause we survived the Great War
Uh-huh
I vow I will always be yours
Bigger Than The Whole Sky
Bigger Than the Whole Sky
(Taylor Swift)
No words appear before me in the aftermath
Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears
Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness
‘Cause it’s all over now, all out to sea
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I’ve got a lot to pine about
I’ve got a lot to live without
I’m never gonna meet
What could’ve been, would’ve been
What should’ve been you
What could’ve been, would’ve been you
Did some bird flap its wings ovеr in Asia?
Did some force take you bеcause I didn’t pray?
Every single thing to come has turned into ashes
‘Cause it’s all over, it’s not meant to be
So I’ll say words I don’t believe
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I’ve got a lot to pine about
I’ve got a lot to live without
I’m never gonna meet
What could’ve been, would’ve been
What should’ve been you
What could’ve been, would’ve been you
What could’ve been, would’ve been
What should’ve been you
What could’ve been, would’ve been you
(What could’ve been, would’ve been you)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I’ve got a lot to pine about
I’ve got a lot to live without
I’m never gonna meet
What could’ve been, would’ve been
What should’ve been you
High Infidelity
High Infidelity
(Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift)
Lock broken, slur spoken
Wound open, game token
I didn’t know you were keeping count
Rain soaking, blind hoping
You said I was freeloading
I didn’t know you were keeping count
High infidelity
Put on your records and regret me
I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around, dancing around it
High infidelity
Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your picket fence is sharp as knives
I was dancing around, dancing around it
Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?
Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?
Storm coming, good husband
Bad omen
Dragged my feet right down the aisle
At the house lonely, good money
I’d pay if you’d just know me
Seemed like the right thing at the time
You know there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love
The slowest way is never loving them enough
Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?
Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?
High infidelity
Put on your records and regret me
I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around, dancing around it
High infidelity
Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your picket fence is sharp as knives
I was dancing around, dancing around it
Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?
Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?
You know there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love
The slowest way is never loving them enough
High infidelity
Put on your records and regret meeting me
I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around, dancing around it
High infidelity
Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your picket fence is sharp as knives
I was dancing around, dancing around it
Ooo…
Ooo…
Oh, there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love
And it’s never enough, it’s never enough
Lock broken, slur spoken
Wound open, game token
I didn’t know you were keeping count
Rain soaking, blind hoping
You said I was freeloading
I didn’t know you were keeping count
But, oh, you were keeping count
Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve
Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve
(Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift)
If you would’ve blinked, then I would’ve
Looked away at the first glance
If you tasted poison, you could’ve
Spit me out at the first chance
And if I was some paint, did it splatter
On a promising grown man?
And if I was a child, did it matter
If you got to wash your hands?
Ooh, all I used to do was pray
Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve
If you’d never looked my way
I would’ve stayed on my knees
And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering
If you never touched me, I would’ve
Gone along with the righteous
If I never blushed, then they could’ve
Never whispered about this
And if you never saved me from boredom
I could’ve gone on as I was
But, Lord, you made me feel important
And then you tried to erase us
Ooh, you’re a crisis of my faith
Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve
If I’d only played it safe
I would’ve stayed on my knees
And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering
God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won’t close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can’t let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won’t close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time
If clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God’s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering
God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won’t close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can’t let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won’t close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time
Oh, God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won’t close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can’t let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won’t close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time
Dear Reader
Dear Reader
(Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift)
Dear reader, if it feels like a trap
You’re already in one
Dear reader, get out your map
Pick somewhere and just run
Dear reader, burn all the files
Desert all your past lives
And if you don’t recognize yourself
That means you did it right
Never take advice from someone who’s falling apart
Never take advice from someone who’s falling apart (You should find another)
Dear reader, bend when you can
Snap when you have to
Dear reader, you don’t have to answer
Just ’cause they asked you
(You should find another)
Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets
Dear reader, when you aim at the devil
Make sure you don’t miss
Never take advice from someone who’s falling apart
Never take advice from someone who’s falling apart
So I wander through these nights
I prefer hiding in plain sight
My fourth drink in my hand
These desperate prayers of a cursed man
Spilling out to you for free
But darling, darling, please
You wouldn’t take my word for it if you knew who was talking
If you knew where I was walking
To a house, not a home, all alone ’cause nobody’s there
Where I pace in my pen and my friends found friends who care
No one sees when you lose when you’re playing solitaire
You should find another guiding light, guiding light
But I shine so bright
You should find another guiding light, guiding light
But I shine so bright
You should find another, you should find another (Guiding light)
Find another, you should find another
You should find another
You’re Losing Me (From the Vault)
You’re Losing Me (From the Vault)
[Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift]
You say, “I don’t understand” and I say, “I know you don’t”
We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won’t
Remember looking at this room, we loved it cause of the light
Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it’s time
Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
I’m getting tired even for a phoenix
Always rising from the ashes
Mending all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow
Stop, you’re losing me
Stop, you’re losing me
Stop, you’re losing me
I can’t find a pulse
My heart won’t start anymore for you
Cause you’re losing me
Every morning, I glared at you with storms in my eyes
How can you say that you love someone you can’t tell is dying?
I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick
My face was gray, but you wouldn’t admit that we were sick
And the air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now, you’re running down the hallway
And you know what they all say
“You don’t know what you got until it’s gone”
Stop, you’re losing me
Stop, you’re losing me
Stop, you’re losing me
I can’t find a pulse
My heart won’t start anymore for you
Cause you’re losing me
Cause you’re losing me
Stop (Stop) cause you’re losing me
My heart won’t start anymore
(Stop cause you’re losing me)
My heart won’t start anymore
(Stop cause you’re losing me)
How long could we be a sad song
‘Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?
I gave you all my best me’s, my endless empathy
And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier
Fighting in only your army, frontlines, don’t you ignore me
I’m the best thing at this party (You’re losing me)
And I wouldn’t marry me either
A pathological people pleaser
Who only wanted you to see her
And I’m fading, thinking
“Do something, babe, say something” (Say something)
“Lose something, babe, risk something” (You’re losing me)
“Choose something, babe, I got nothing” (I got nothing)
“To believe, unless you’re choosing me”
You’re losing me
Stop (Stop, stop), you’re losing me
Stop (Stop, stop), you’re losing me
I can’t find a pulse
My heart won’t start anymore
Snow On The Beach (feat. More Lana Del Rey)
Snow On The Beach (feat. More Lana Del Rey)
[Jack Antonoff, Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift]
One night, a few moons ago
I saw flecks of what could’ve been lights
But it might just have been you
Passing by unbeknownst to me
Life is emotionally abusive
And time can’t stop me quite like you did
And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
I’m unglued, thanks to you
And it’s like snow at the beach
Weird, but fuckin’ beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it’s comin’ down
No sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow, ah, ah
This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
I searched “aurora borealis green”
I’ve never seen someone lit from within
Blurring out my periphery
My smile is like I won a contest
And to hide that would be so dishonest
And it’s fine to fake it ’til you make it
‘Til you do, ’til it’s true
Now, it’s like snow at the beach
Weird, but fuckin’ beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it’s comin’ down
No sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach (Mmm)
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach (Mmm)
Like snow, ah, ah
I (I) can’t (Can’t) speak, afraid to jinx it
I (I) don’t (Don’t) even dare to wish it
But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet
Now, I’m all for you like Janet
Can this be a real thing? Can it?
Are we falling like snow at the beach? (Snow at the beach)
Weird, but fuckin’ beautiful
Flying in a dream (Flying in a dream)
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible (Tonight)
But it’s comin’ down
No sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach
(Mmm; Snow on the beach)
Like snow on the beach
(Snow on the beach)
Like snow on the beach
(Mmm; Snow on the beach)
Like snow, ah
But it’s comin’ down
No sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach
Like snow, like snow, uh-huh, yeah

Karma (feat. Ice Spice)
[Ephrem Lopez, Isis Gaston, Jack Antonoff, Jahaan Sweet, Keanu Torres, Mark Spears, Taylor Swift]
Karma is that girl, like (Grrah)
He’s talking shit for the hell of it
Addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant
You’re terrified to look down
‘Cause if you dare, you’ll see the glare
Of everyone you burned just to get there
It’s comin’ back around
And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn’t know what I mean
Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma’s a relaxing thought

Me and karma vibe like that (Grrah)
Ask me what I learned from all those years
Ask me what I earned from all those tears
Ask me why so many fade, but I’m still here
(I’m still here, I’m still here)
Cause karma is the thunder
Rattlin’ your ground
Karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter
And karma’s gonna track you down
Step by step, from town to town
