State of Grace
Taylor Swift Lyrics

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
The singer is moving quickly through a busy area.

Busy streets and busy lives
The surroundings are full of a lot of movement and activity.

And all we know
People have limited knowledge and understanding.

Is touch and go
Relationships are unpredictable and unstable.

We are alone with our changing minds
Individuals are isolated with their own thoughts and feelings that are constantly evolving.

We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds
People continue to love even when it becomes painful.

Or fades in time
Love can weaken or disappear over time.

And I never (Never) Saw you coming
The singer met someone unexpectedly and was surprised by it.

And I'll never(Never) Be the same
Meeting this person has changed the singer's life permanently.

You come around and the armor falls
The singer feels comfortable being vulnerable around this person.

Pierce the room like a cannon ball
This person has a strong presence and impact.

Now all we know
The situation has changed and now there is new information to consider.

Is don't let go
It is important to hold onto this relationship.

We are alone, just you and me
The relationship is important and personal, and involves just two people.

Up in your room and our slates are clean
The two people are in a private place and starting fresh with each other.

Just twin fire signs
The two people have a connection and passion for each other.

Four blue eyes
Both people have blue eyes.

So you were never a saint And I loved in shades of wrong
Neither person is perfect, and the singer is aware of her own mistakes in love.

We learn to live with the pain
People become accustomed to the emotional struggles that come with love.

Mosaic broken hearts But this love is great and wild
Although both people are not perfect and may have past emotional pain, their love is still strong and exciting.

This is a state of grace
The relationship is a temporary, but beautiful moment in time.

This is the worth while fight
The work put into the relationship is important and valuable.

Love is a ruthless game Unless you play it good and right
Love can be difficult, but it is important to do it well and in a respectful manner.

These are the hands of fate You're my Achilles heel
The two people being together is the result of a greater force, and one that makes the singer vulnerable.

This is the golden age of something good And right and real
There is hope for the future, and the future involves something positive, correct and genuine.
