‘tis the damn season
Taylor Swift Lyrics

If I wanted to know Who you were hanging with While I was gone, I would've asked you
I don't really care who you're hanging out with, you're not that important to me anymore

It's the kind of cold Fogs up windshield glass But I felt it when I passed you
There's something between us that we can't ignore, even though we should

There's an ache in you Put there by the ache in me But if it's all the same to you It's the same to me
We're both hurting from what we had, but we're willing to ignore it and move on

So we could call it even You could call me "Babe" for the weekend 'Tis the damn season
Let's pretend that everything is okay for a little while, just for the holidays

Write this down I'm staying at my parents' house And the road not taken looks real good now
I'm spending the holidays with my family and feeling nostalgic for the past

And it always leads to you and my hometown
No matter where I go, I always end up thinking about you and our hometown

I parked my car Right between the Methodist and the school that used to be ours The holidays linger like bad perfume You can run but only so far
Even though I tried to leave our hometown, the memories of us and the holidays are inescapable

I escaped it too Remember how you watched me leave But if it's okay with you It's okay with me
We both tried to move on, but we keep coming back to each other

Time flies Messy as the mud on your truck tires Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
Time passes quickly, but I still think about you and long for your company

We could just ride around And the road not taken looks real good now
Let's take a drive and explore the roads we never took when we were together

Sleep in half the day Just for old times' sake I won't ask you to wait If you don't ask me to stay
Let's have lazy mornings like we used to, but without any expectations of commitment from each other

So I'll go back to LA And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
I have to go back to my life in LA and deal with the pressures of fame, while wondering if anyone truly knows the real me. Leaving you and our hometown is breaking my heart and I'll miss it more than anything

Even though I'm leaving And I'll be yours for the weekend 'Tis the damn season
Even though I have to leave soon, let's enjoy our time together during the holidays
