White Horse
Stephen Jerzak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
Holdin' on,
Stupid girl, you should have known
You should have known
That you're not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
You're not the one I'll sweep off your feet
Lead you up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before I went and let you down
Now it's too late for me and my white horse
To come around
And baby, I was naive
Got lost in your eyes, I never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
I had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings, now I know
That you're not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
You're not the one I'll sweep off your feet
Lead you up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before I went and let you down
Now it's too late for me and my white horse
To come around
And there I am on my knees
Beggin' for forgivness
Beggin' you please
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
'Cause you're not my princess
This ain't a fairytale
You're gonna find someone someday who might actually treat you well
This is a big world
That was a small town
There in my rear view mirror dissapearin' now
And it's too late for me and my white horse
Now it's too late for me and my white horse
To catch you now
Whoa, try and catch you now
Oh, it's too late to catch you now
The lyrics to Stephen Jerzak's song 'White Horse' narrates a tale of a naive dreamer who is let down by someone they deeply believed in, and thought to be perfect. The song starts with the singer asking the girl to apologize for what she did, and the association of an angelic face with her personality. The song's central theme revolves around the singer's desire to hold on to the girl and wait for things to get better. He mentions how he always thought of himself as a dreamer, and he believed in the girl.
However, reality hits him hard as he realizes that the girl is not a princess, and her life isn't a fairytale. The singer talks about how he isn't the hero of the story, and he can't sweep her off her feet like Hollywood. He mentions that he was naive and got lost in her eyes and never had a chance to win. He further asks for forgiveness and regrets letting her down.
The song highlights how the singer's dreams were shattered, and there was no way to change things. The white horse that is referred to repeatedly is a metaphor for a hope that things might work out, but now it's too late to ride away on it.
Line by Line Meaning
Say you're sorry
Admit your fault and express remorse
That face of an angel comes out
You appear innocent and angelic
Just when you need it to
You use your facade to your advantage
As I pace back and forth all this time
I've been anxious and restless
'Cause I honestly believed in you
I had full faith in you
Holdin' on,
Clutching tightly
The days drag on
Time feels slow and tedious
Stupid girl, you should have known
You were foolish to believe in a fairytale romance
You should have known
You were warned but didn't listen
That you're not a princess
You're not entitled to a fairytale ending
This ain't a fairytale
Real life doesn't always have happy endings
You're not the one I'll sweep off your feet
I won't be the one to romantically rescue you
Lead you up the stairwell
Take you to a magical place
This ain't Hollywood
This is reality, not a movie
This is a small town
Our world is limited and unremarkable
I was a dreamer before I went and let you down
I was optimistic before I disappointed you
Now it's too late for me and my white horse
I've missed my chance to make things right
And baby, I was naive
I was inexperienced and trusting
Got lost in your eyes, I never really had a chance
You distracted me with your charm, I didn't stand a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
I was mistaken, I didn't understand what love truly was
I had to fight to have the upper hand
I had to assert control to maintain an advantage
I had so many dreams about you and me
I had many romantic fantasies about us
Happy endings, now I know
I now understand that our story won't have a happy ending
And there I am on my knees
I am humbled and pleading
Beggin' for forgivness
Asking for forgiveness
Beggin' you please
Desperately imploring you
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
I got what I wanted but I regret it
'Cause you're not my princess
You don't fit my ideal of a perfect partner
You're gonna find someone someday who might actually treat you well
You'll eventually find someone who treats you better than I did
This is a big world
There are plenty of opportunities and possibilities
That was a small town
Our relationship was limited and insignificant
There in my rear view mirror dissapearin' now
Our relationship is fading away in my past
And it's too late for me and my white horse
I missed my chance to make things right
Now it's too late for me and my white horse
I missed my chance to make things right
To catch you now
To win you back
Whoa, try and catch you now
I'm struggling to win you back
Oh, it's too late to catch you now
I've missed my chance to win you back

I was standing outside watching a thunderstorm. I thought of this song being that my daughter is a huge Taylor Swift fan. Going through a divorce I thought how I related to this and how the lyrics would be switched up. To my astonishment this is exactly the way I was thinking of it. Thank you ..perfect switch. Well done.

How do you make it come out like a professional song that has been done at a studio? I make covers and my voice is decent but they come out like they are something recorded not something as amazing as this? I could really use the advice if you don't mind =D
