Taylor Swift / Def Leppard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's okay, if you need to
You can run but you can never hide
From the shadow that's creepin' up beside you
There's a magic runnin' through your soul
But you can't have it all
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
And I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around
I'll be two steps behind
Yea, yea
Take the time
To think about it
Just walk the line, you know you just can't fight it
Take a look around you'll see what you can find
Like the fire that's burnin' up inside me
Now there's a magic runnin' through your soul
But you can't have it all, no
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
And I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around
I'll be two steps behind
Yea, yea
Oh, ho
Oh, there's a magic running through your soul
But you, you can't have it all
Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
And I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around
I'll be two steps behind
Yea baby, two steps behind
Oh sugar, two steps behind

Walk away, if you want to
It's alright to leave if you need to
It's okay, if you need to
You have permission to go if you have to
You can run but you can never hide
You can flee but problems will always catch you
From the shadow that's creepin' up beside you
The looming problem will always be near
There's a magic runnin' through your soul
You have the potential to do great things
But you can't have it all
You can't achieve everything in life
Whatever you do
No matter your choice
I'll be two steps behind you
I'll be near you to support whatever you do
Wherever you go
No matter where you end up
And I'll be there to remind you
I'll be there to jog your memory
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
You only need a moment of your valuable time
To turn around
To change your path
Take the time
Pause to reflect
To think about it
To consider your options
Just walk the line, you know you just can't fight it
Follow the path you know is right
Take a look around you'll see what you can find
Observe your surroundings and discover what is possible
Like the fire that's burnin' up inside me
Find the passion that motivates you
Oh, there's a magic running through your soul
You have endless potential
Yea baby, two steps behind
I'll always be there to support you
Oh sugar, two steps behind
I'll always be there to comfort you

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone, babe
For the hundreth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand,baby
United we fall
Def Leppard:
Got the time, got the chance, gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart, gonna take it
All I know, I can't fight this flame
But you could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Taylor Swift:
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Time after time
Def Leppard:
Without you, one night alone
Taylor Swift:
Is like a year without you, baby
Do you have a heart of stone?
Def Leppard:
Without you, I can't stop this hurt inside
When love and hate collide
Taylor Swift:
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat eachother, baby
Like an act of war
And I can tell a million lies
But it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger
Hits you right between the eyes
Ohh
Def Leppard:
There's a time, and a place, and a reason
And I know i got a love to believe in
All i know, got to win this time
Without you, one night alone

Do you have a heart of stone?

Without you, I can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

You could have a change of heart if you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone girl for the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall but I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby united we fall
Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it all I know, I can't fight this flame
You could have a change of heart if you would only change your mind
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby time after time
Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby do you have a heart of stone?
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide
I don't wanna fight no more I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other baby like an act of war
I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger hits you right between the eyes
There's a time and a place and a reason and I know
I got a love to believe in all I know got to win this time
Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby do you have a heart of stone?
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Crazy, crazy
Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby do you have a heart of stone?
Without you, one night alone
Is like a year without you baby if you have a heart at all
Without you, can't stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide
