“Style”
By Taylor Swift
Midnight, you come and pick me up
No headlights, long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, it’s been a while
Since I have even heard from you
I should just tell you to leave
‘Cause I know exactly where it leads
But I watch us go
Round and round each time
Chorus
You got that James Dean day dream
Look in your eye
And I got that red lip
Classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
‘Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair
Slicked back, white T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith
And a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
‘Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
So it goes
He can’t keep his wild eyes on the road
Takes me home
Lights are off, he’s taking off his coat
I say I heard that you been out and about
With some other girl
He says, what you heard it’s true
But I can’t stop thinking about you and I
I said I’ve been there too a few times
(Chorus)
Take me home
Just take me home
(Chorus)
