Wildest Dreams
Swift Lyrics

He said, "Let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city
Away from the crowds"
I thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins, my one condition is

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams (ah ah)
Wildest dreams (ah ah)

I said no one has to know what we do
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
But my last request is

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams (ah ah) (ah ah)
Wildest dreams (ah ah)

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burn it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down (burnin' it down)
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around (follow you around)

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just (just pretend, just pretend) in your wildest dreams (ah ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah ah)




Even if it's just in your wildest dreams (ah ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah ah)

Overall Meaning

"Wildest Dreams" is a song about a romantic fling that Taylor Swift knows will never last. The lyrics are about a moment in time when the thrill of a new relationship is fresh and exciting, but the end is inevitable. Swift is aware that the memory of this fling will endure, and the memories will "follow you around" when it's over. The verses describe a heat-of-the-moment affair with a man who is "tall, handsome as hell and bad" - perhaps somebody who is slowly leading her down a dangerous path. The chorus is a plea for him to remember her, to hold onto memories of their fleeting romance even if it's just in his "wildest dreams."


The lyrics also describe a moment of self-awareness, where Swift acknowledges that the relationship will come to an end but chooses to continue the affair anyway, knowing there will be a bittersweet aftermath. She describes herself standing in a "nice dress, staring at the sunset" - it's an image of someone trapped in time, stuck in a moment that's both beautiful and doomed to end. Despite the fact that she knows their time together is limited, Swift chooses to indulge in the moment and enjoy it while it lasts, hoping that the memory of it will endure even when it's over.


Line by Line Meaning

He suggested leaving the town we're in


Drive out of the city
Get in a car and leave the city behind


Away from the crowds'

I thought heaven can't help me now
I had doubts about leaving, but I went along with the idea


Nothing lasts forever
I know things don't last long, but I was ready to enjoy it while it lasted


But this is gonna take me down
This might hurt me, but I'm still willing to take the risk


He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's physically attractive


He's so bad but he does it so well
He's not a good person, but he knows how to show affection

In your imagination


Even if it's just in your wildest dreams (ah ah)
