Taylor SwiftYou had people who called you on unmarked numbers in my peripheral visionI let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summerAll was quickly forgivenYou were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxiousFlush with the currency of coolI was always turning out my empty pocketsAnd when it came to you
I didn’t come here to make friendsWe were born to be suburban legendsWhen you hold me, it holds me togetherAnd you kiss me in a way that’s gonna screw me up forever
I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs would surprise the whole schoolWhen I ended up back at our class reunion walking in with youYou’d be more than a chapter in my old diaries with the pages ripped outI am standing in a 1950s gymnasiumAnd I can still see you now
I didn’t come here to make friendsWe were born to be suburban legendsWhen you hold me, it holds me togetherAnd you kiss me in a way that’s gonna screw me up foreverI know that you still rememberWe were born to be national treasuresWhen you told me we’d get back togetherAnd you kissed me in a way that’s gonna screw me up forever
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your blockI broke my own heart ‘cause you were too polite to do itWaves crash on the shore, I dash to the doorYou don’t knock anymore and my whole life’s ruinedTick-tock on the clock, I pace down your blockI broke my own heart ‘cause you were too polite to do itWaves crash to the shore, I dash to the doorYou don’t knock anymore and I always knew it
That my life would be ruined
