Style
Sweet Babe May 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
Fade into view, it′s been a while since I have even 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
You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
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
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road
Takes me home
Lights are off, he′s taking off his coat
I say I heard that you been out and about with some other girl
Some other girl
He says, what you've heard it's true but I
Can′t stop thinking about you and I
I said I′ve been there too a few times
Cause You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
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
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.
Take me home

Just take me home
Just take me home
You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Style" by Taylor Swift, are about an on-and-off relationship with someone who gives that irresistible "James Dean day dream look" and a woman who is confident in her appearance with her "red lip classic thing." Despite their burning flames and paradise-like moments, they will always go back to each other because they never go out of style. The first verse describes a midnight drive with no headlights and the possibility of crashing, yet they still continue on. She’s aware of where it’s leading, but still goes along, suggesting that the relationship is maybe a little bit self-destructive, but more like an addiction that can’t be stopped. The pre-chorus suggests that this isn't the first time they've been stuck in this cycle, but they always go around and round.


The second verse describes an instance where he can't keep his eyes on the road but takes her home instead. She confronts him about another girl he's been with, to which he confirms, but he can't stop thinking about her. Suggesting their strong connection and how intertwined they are. Even while he was out with someone else, his thoughts kept rattling back to his ride-or-die girl. The song has a hypnotic and catchy melody that contributes to the romantic and addictive nature of the relationship described in the lyrics. Overall, the song's central message is that, even though they have troubles, the couple keeps coming back to each other because their love never goes out of style.
