Taylor Swift 1989 Medley
Gardiner Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise (paradise)
Fade into view, it's been a while since I have even heard from you (heard from you)

I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time

'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eyes
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style

People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you
When you say you've changed
The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us
Off the road

(Stay) hey
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Then why'd you have to go and lock me out When I let you in?
(Stay) hey
Now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well could have been easy

All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was stay

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods
Are we out of the woods
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet?
Good

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Out of the woods
Out of the woods

(Stay) hey
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Then why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in?
(Stay) hey
Now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well could have been easy

All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)
All you had to do was (stay)




(We never go out of style
We never go out of style)

Midnight
It's late at night


You come and pick me up, no headlights
You arrive to get me, being discreet


Long drive
We go on a lengthy car ride


Could end in burning flames or paradise (paradise)
This journey may lead to either disaster or perfect happiness


Fade into view, it's been a while since I have even heard from you (heard from you)
You suddenly appear, it's been a long time since I last heard from you


I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
I should simply ask you to go away because I


Know exactly where it leads but I
I am aware of the ultimate outcome but I


Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
Witness us repeating the same cycle over and over again


'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eyes
Because you possess a dreamy gaze resembling James Dean


And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And I have that timeless red lipstick that you find appealing


And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
And whenever we experience a downfall, we manage to revive the relationship every time


'Cause we never go out of style
Because our connection never becomes outdated


People like you always want back
Individuals like you always desire to regain


The love they gave away
The love they previously gave up


And people like me wanna believe you
And individuals like me want to trust in your words


When you say you've changed
When you claim to have transformed


The more I think about it now
As I reflect upon it now


The less I know
The less certainty I have


All I know is that you drove us
All I comprehend is that you caused us


Off the road
To veer off the intended path


(Stay) hey
(Stay), listen


All you had to do was stay
All you needed to do was remain


Had me in the palm of your hands
You held complete control over me


Then why'd you have to go and lock me out When I let you in?
So why did you choose to exclude me after I allowed you in?


Now you say you want it back
Now you claim to desire it again


Now that it's just too late
Now that it is simply too tardy


Well could have been easy
Well, it could have been effortless


Are we out of the woods yet?
Have we overcome the difficult part yet?


Are we in the clear yet?
Have we reached a safe point yet?


Good
Great


All you had to do was (stay)
All you needed to do was (stay)


Are we out of the woods?
Have we escaped the challenging situation?


Out of the woods
Free from danger

(We never become outdated


We never go out of style)
We always remain in fashion)
