Karaoke Our Song
Taylor Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steerin' wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby, is somethin' wrong?"
I say, "Nothin', I was just thinkin'
How we don't have a song"
And he says

Our song is the slammin' screen door
Sneakin' out late, tappin' on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
Askin' God if he could play it again

I was walkin' up the front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong, had been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way
To my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said

Our song is the slammin' screen door
Sneakin' out late, tappin' on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
Askin' God if he could play it again

Da-da-da, da

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for somethin' to come along
That was as good as our song

'Cause our song is the slammin' screen door
Sneakin' out late, tappin' on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
'Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
Askin' God if he could play it again
Play it again
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah

I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car




I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

Overall Meaning

Taylor Swift’s “Our Song” tells a story of a young couple and how they create their own memories and special moments by way of their own song. The song starts with a romantic moment, a simple conversation in a car. Taylor is riding shotgun with her hair undone, while her boyfriend drives with one hand on her heart and one on the steering wheel. Taylor turns down the radio and confesses that they don’t have a song, to which he replies by telling her that their song is the way they laugh on their first date, the way they sneak out late and tap on each other’s windows, and the way they talk on the phone, in whispers and giggles, when it’s late and their moms don’t know.


In the second verse, Taylor comes home defeated and heartbroken from an awful day, and finds a trail of roses leading to a note, reminding her that even in tough times, their song is what gets her through. The song finishes with Taylor singing about how she’s looked for a song on the radio and in albums, but nothing could compare to their personal tune.


Line by Line Meaning

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
I was sitting in the passenger seat of his car with my hair down


He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel, The other on my heart
He's only driving with one hand, the other hand is on my chest


I look around, turn the radio down, He says, "Baby, is something wrong?"
I'm looking around and turned down the volume on the radio, he then asks me if I'm alright


I say, "Nothin', I was just thinkin' how we don't have a song", And he said,
I said that nothing was wrong, I was just thinking we don't have a song and he responded by saying


Our song is a slamming screen door, Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window, When we're on the phone, and you talk real slow, 'Cause it's late and your mama don't know, Our song is the way you laugh, on the first date, Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have, And when I got home, before I said amen, Asking God if he could play it again
Our song is all the little things we do together, like sneaking out, tapping on windows and laughing on the first date. It's the things that we should have done differently but were too scared to, and we cherish them so much that we ask God to play it again.


I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day, Had gone all wrong and been trampled on, And lost and thrown away, Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed, I almost didn't notice all the roses, And the note that said,
After a difficult day, I was walking to my bedroom and almost missed the roses and the note he left for me


I've heard every album, listened to the radio, Waited for something to come along, That was as good as our song
I've listened to every song but nothing compares to the special moments we have shared together


'Cause our song is a slamming screen door, Sneaking out late, tapping on his window, When we're on the phone, and he talks real slow, 'Cause it's late, and his mama don't know, Our song is the way he laughs, on the first date, Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have, And when I got home, before I said amen, Asking God if he could play it again, Play it again, oh yeah, oh, oh, yeah
Our song is all about the times we've sneaked around, talked on the phone late at night, and laughed on our first date. We should have kissed, but didn't. We were so enamored with the moment that we asked God to play it again.


I was riding shotgun with my hair undone, In the front seat of his car, I grabbed a pen and an old napkin, And I wrote down our song
I was sitting next to him in his car with my hair down, and I quickly jotted down our song on a napkin
