Maroon
Taylor Swift Lyrics

When the morning came we were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf
We started cleaning fragrant material off your music collection when we saw the sun rise

'Cause we lost track of time again
We lost sense of time, once again

Laughing with my feet in your lap
We were enjoying ourselves while I put my feet on your lap

Like you were my closest friend
I felt as if I was having fun with my dearest companion

"How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" You say
"How did we end up sitting on the ground like this?" You questioned

"Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how"
"It is because of your flatmate's inexpensive twist-off rosé bottle"

I see you every day now
Now, I encounter you every day

And I chose you
I picked you

The one I was dancin' with
The one I danced with

In New York, no shoes
In New York City, shoeless

Looked up at the sky and it was
Gazed above and it appeared

The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me
The deep reddish-brown liquid on my shirt when you accidentally poured your wine on me

And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was
And how my face became reddened with blood, it was so scarlet

The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones
The mark you noticed on my collarbone, the corrosion that expanded between phones

The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon
The lips I kissed many times, so red, they were almost maroon

When the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy
When stillness ensued, we trembled aimlessly

How the hell did we lose sight of us again?
How did we lose sight of our relationship once more?

Sobbin' with your head in your hands
Crying with your face clasped in your hands

Ain't that the way shit always ends?
Isn't that how things always come to an end?

You were standin' hollow-eyed in the hallway
You were standing in the hallway with weary eyes

Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us
Our connection was like the carnations you mistook for roses

I feel you no matter what
I sense your presence regardless

The rubies that I gave up
The gemstones that I relinquished

And I lost you
And I no longer had you

The one I was dancin' with
The one I danced with

In New York, no shoes
In New York City, without footwear

Looked up at the sky and it was maroon
Looked upward and saw a reddish-brown sky

And I wake with your memory over me
And I awaken with your memory lingering in my thoughts

That's a real fucking legacy, legacy (it was maroon)
That is truly an impactful legacy (It was the reddish-brown color)

And I wake with your memory over me
And I wake up with memories of you surrounding me

That's a real fucking legacy to leave
Leaving those memories for me is truly significant

It was maroon
It had a reddish-brown hue
