Breathless
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

Most of her unreleased songs hit such a soft spot in people's hearts.

Rockee Alger This song was released a decade ago by the band who wrote it - Better Than Ezra. Taylor Swift covers several of their songs.

@FluffyJiaJia
I sang this song to my dog, telling her everything would be okay, right before we had to put her to sleep because of a tumor growing in her lungs. "When you feel the world is crashing all around your feet, come running headlong into my arms, breathless. I will never judge you, I can only love you, come now, running headlong, into my arms.....breathless." To this day this song always brings back that moment, and helps me remember to stay strong for others.
