Style
T-swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh
It's been a while since I have even heard from you (heard from you)
And I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
You got that James Dean daydream 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, mm
Takes me home
The lights are off, he's taking off his coat, mm, yeah
I say, "I heard, oh
That you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl"
He says, "What you heard is true, but I
Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you and I"
I said, "I've been there too a few times"
'Cause you got that James Dean daydream 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 (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), we never go out of style
Take me home
Just take me home
Yeah, just take me home
Oh, whoa, oh
(Out of style)
Oh, you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down (now we go), we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
In T-Swift's song Style, she sings about a tumultuous relationship with someone who has a James Dean daydream look in his eye. The song opens with Midnight, and the guy picking her up with no headlights, and they're driving down a long road that could end in burning flames or paradise. She mentions it's been a while since she's even heard from him, but she still can't resist being with him. She knows where it leads, but she watches it go round and round each time, indicating that she knows the relationship will be destructive, but she can't seem to stay away.
The chorus is an ode to their undeniable attraction to each other. T-Swift sings about having a classic red lip that the guy likes and him having the James Dean daydream look in his eye. Even when they crash down, they always come back to each other because they never go out of style, and their attraction for each other never fades away.
The second verse is about him taking her home, and she notices that he can't keep his wild eyes on the road. When he takes off his coat, she mentions hearing rumors that he's been out and about with some other girl, but he confirms it and says that he can't stop thinking about her. The second half of the chorus is repeated, and the song ends with her urging him to take her home.
Overall, the song is about their irresistible attraction to each other, despite the destruction that always follows. They never go out of style because their love and attraction for each other will always remain unchanged.

Midnight,
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive,
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh, 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
You got that James Dean daydream 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, hmm, yeah.
I say, "I heard, oh, that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl."
He says, "What you've heard is true but I
Can't stop thinking about you," and I...
I said, "I've been there, too, a few times."

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
