Style
Taylor Swift/Musicfire.in 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, 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
Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch it 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've got that long hair slick 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 (Hm yeah)
I say "I've heard 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"

'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've got that long hair slick 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 (We never go) out of style, we never go out of style

Take me home
Just take me home
Yeah just take me home, oh

(Out of style) 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Taylor Swift's Style describe a passionate but tumultuous relationship. The song begins with the singer being picked up by her lover at midnight, with no headlights, which suggests their relationship is secretive and possibly dangerous. The drive could lead to either a thrilling romance or a fiery crash. Despite knowing where this relationship leads, the singer keeps going back to it. The chorus describes their dynamic, as the two never go out of style, they always come back to each other, even though they have been down this road before. The second verse sees the singer going home with her lover. She confronts him about rumors of him seeing other women, but he insists that he can't stop thinking about her. In the bridge, the singer asks to be taken home, repeating "just take me home," as if she is powerless to resist her lover.


Overall, Style is a song about the thrill of a passionate relationship that is unable to last long term. The use of imagery, such as the James Dean daydream look and the red lip classic thing, suggest a strong physical attraction between the two. However, there is a sense of danger and instability to the relationship, as seen in the opening lines and the rumors of infidelity. The singer knows that she should end things, but she cannot resist the pull of their connection.


Line by Line Meaning

Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights
You show up to take me out very late at night, without turning on your headlights


Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
Our long drive could either end really well or really badly


Fade into view, oh, it's been a while since I have even heard from you
You slowly come into my line of sight and it's been a long time since we've talked


And I should just tell you to leave 'cause I know exactly where it leads but I watch it go round and round each time
I know what will happen if I stay with you, but I keep doing it anyway


You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
You have a very attractive and dreamy look in your eyes like James Dean


And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like
I have red lipstick on that you love and is a classic style


And when we go crashing down, we come back every time, 'cause we never go out of style
Even when our relationship hits a rough patch, we always come back together because we have a timeless love


You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt
You have a cool and stylish look with your slicked back hair and white t-shirt


And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
I have a wholesome and innocent reputation, but I'm wearing a tight skirt


So it goes, he can't keep his wild eyes on the road
He's so distracted by me that he's having trouble driving safely


Takes me home, lights are off he's taking off his coat
You take me back to your place and immediately take off your coat with the lights off


I say 'I've heard that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl'
I confront you about rumors I've heard of you seeing another girl


He says 'What you've heard is true but I can't stop thinking about you' and I
You admit to seeing another girl, but you can't stop thinking about me


I said 'I've been there too a few times'
I tell you that I've also been in that situation with other guys


Take me home, just take me home, yeah just take me home, oh
You take me back to your place and I just want to stay there


'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
I'm drawn to you because of your dreamy James Dean-like appearance


And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like
You love my classic red lipstick look

Even when we hit a rough patch, our love always brings us back together because it's timeless and never goes out of style


You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt
You continue to look stylish with your slicked back hair and white t-shirt


And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (A tight little skirt)
I may have a wholesome and innocent reputation, but I still wear a tight skirt


And when we go crashing down, we come back every time, 'cause we never go (We never go) out of style, we never go out of style
Our love will always pull us back together, no matter how many times we go through ups and downs, because it never goes out of style
