Snow on the Beach
Taylor Swift Lyrics

One night a few moons ago
The singer is recalling a past experience.

I saw flecks of what could've been lights
She saw something that may have been lights.

But it might just have been you
She thinks that it might have been the person she is thinking about.

Passing by unbeknownst to me
The person she thinks about passed her by without her knowing it.

Life is emotionally abusive
The singer finds life difficult to handle emotionally.

And time can't stop me quite like you did
Despite time passing, she is still affected by the person she is thinking about.

And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
She had a bad flight and someone asked her how it was.

I'm unglued, thanks to you
She feels unglued or unstable because of the person she is thinking about.

And it's like snow at the beach
The situation is unexpected and unusual, like snow at the beach.

Weird but fucking beautiful
Despite being unexpected, the situation is still beautiful.

Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
It feels like the singer is dreaming and has a lot of happiness around her.

You wanting me tonight feels impossible
She thinks it's impossible for the person she likes to want her back.

But it's coming down, no sound, it's all around
The singer feels like the unexpected situation is surrounding her.

This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
The scene feels like something she's seen before in a movie or show.

I searched aurora borealis green
She may have been searching for a symbol of hope or happiness, like the Northern Lights.

I've never seen someone live from within
She has never had a connection like the one she currently has with the person she likes.

Blurring out my periphery
The situation is taking up most of her attention.

My smile is like I won a contest
She is very happy in this moment.

And to hide that would be so dishonest
She feels like she would be lying if she tried to hide her happiness.

And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it
She thinks it's okay to pretend to be happy until she truly feels it.

Now it's like snow at the beach
The situation is still unexpected and unusual, but it's also beautiful.

I can't speak afraid to jinx it
She is afraid that saying something will ruin the situation.

I don't even dare to wish it
She doesn't feel like she can even wish for the situation to continue.

But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet
She is amazed by the person's eyes.

Now I'm All For You like Janet
She is all in on the situation, like Janet Jackson's song 'All for You'.

Can this be a real thing? Can it?
She wonders if the situation is actually happening or just a dream.

Are we falling like snow at the beach?
She wonders if they are falling in love, even though it's unexpected and unusual.

Like snow on the beach
The situation is still unexpected and unusual, but it's also beautiful.
