Wonderland
T Swift Lyrics

Flashing lights and we
We were caught up in the excitement and allure of the moment

Took a wrong turn and we
We made a mistake and deviated from our planned path

Fell down a rabbit hole
We found ourselves in a confusing and disorienting situation

You held on tight to me
You were my anchor and source of support

'Cause nothing's as it seems
The situation was not as straightforward or simple as it initially appeared

And spinning out of control
We were losing our grip on the situation

Didn't they tell us don't rush into things?
We should have been more cautious and taken things slowly

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
You enticed me with your charm and beauty

Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?
We were warned about the consequences of being too curious or reckless

Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?
Despite the risks and warnings, we couldn't resist the thrill of the unknown

I felt your arms twisting around me
You embraced me tightly and gave me comfort

I should've slept with one eye open at night
I should have been more wary and vigilant, knowing that danger or trouble could arise

We found Wonderland
We discovered a magical, but ultimately dangerous, world

You and I got lost in it
We were completely captivated and swept up by this world

And we pretended it could last forever, eh, eh
We hoped that our time in this world would never end and that we could ignore reality

And life was never worse but never better, eh, eh
Being in Wonderland was a mix of highs and lows, never quite reaching a true sense of contentment

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) in Wonderland
We were lost in a dreamlike state, disconnected from the real world

So we went on our way
We continued on our journey, despite the warnings and dangers we encountered

Too in love to think straight
Our emotions clouded our better judgment

All alone, or so it seemed
It appeared as though we were the only ones in this world

But there were strangers watching
Unseen eyes were observing and judging our every move

And whispers turned to talking
The hidden onlookers began to gossip and share their opinions

And talking turned to screams, oh
The tension and conflict escalated until it reached a breaking point

Didn't you call my fears with a Cheshire Cat smile?
You teased me and poked fun at my worries, like the mischievous Cheshire Cat from the original 'Alice in Wonderland' tale

It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind
We were playing with fire, and the stakes were higher than we realized

I reached for you
I tried to hold onto our connection and save our relationship

But you were gone
You had already moved on and left me behind

I knew I had to go back home
I had to face reality and return to the world I had known before

You search the world for something else
You looked for a new adventure or love to fill the void in your life

To make you feel like what we had
You wanted to recapture the magic and excitement of our time in Wonderland

And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad
Our obsession with this fantasy world and each other drove us to insanity and destruction

(last forever)
Our dreams and illusions of endless happiness were shattered

(got lost in it)
We were so deeply absorbed in the wonders and pleasures of this world that we lost our sense of reality

(never better)
Although we had some good moments, overall our experience was bittersweet and ultimately destructive

(in Wonderland)
We existed in a fantasy world that ultimately proved to be a dangerous and unsustainable place to live

(could last forever)
We were unable to acknowledge the impermanence and fragility of our relationship and our time in Wonderland
