Breathless
Taylor Swift Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were
Stripped to the bone
I thought you' d want to know

That when you feel the world is crashing

All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

I'm so glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless

So when you feel the world is crashing down
I want you come run into my arms

I always thought she wrote this song, then I came to this video and realized it was a cover. Same thing that happened with Untouchable for me.

Swiftie on Cornelia street 💗#colbyisstong

She's so amazing.

Better Than Ezra is the amazing one. Kevin Griffin is a very talented songwriter and composer. But kudos to Taylor Swift for being able to play the guitar unlike most trash so-called "talents" people like to idolize today.
