Wildest Dreams
Taylo.r Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
The lyrics of Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" paint a picture of a fleeting romance between two individuals who know their time together is limited. The singer and her lover, who is described as "tall, and handsome as hell" and "so bad but he does it so well," decide to escape the mundane routine of their town and flee from the crowd to spend quality time together. However, she is aware that their memories are going to haunt her in the future, and the love they share is temporary.
The chorus of the song revolves around the singer's request that her love interest remembers her in a specific moment, with "standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe, red lips and rosy cheeks." She wishes that he remembers her even in his wildest dreams, symbolizing that she wants to be remembered even in the most fantastical and imaginary situations. Despite the underlying melancholy of their affair, the singer firmly believes in savoring the moment they have and making memories that they can look back on fondly.
The bridge further elaborates on how the memories of their relationship will ultimately follow her love interest when they separate. The lyrics highlight how they will experience flashbacks of their time together when they see each other in hindsight, and memories of their passionate moments will remain with him even when they part ways.
