[Taylor Swift]
They tell you while you’re young:
“Girls, go out and have your fun”
Then they hunt and slay the ones
Who actually do it
Criticize the way you fly
When you’re soaring through the sky
Shoot you down and then they sigh and say:
“She looks like she’s been through it”
Lord, what will become of me
Once I’ve lost my novelty?
I’ve had
Too much to drink tonight
And I know it’s sad
But this is what I think about
And I wake up
In the middle of the night
It’s like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at 18
But nothing at 22?
And will you still want me
When I’m nothing new?
[Phoebe Bridgers]
How long will it be cute
All this crying in my room?
When you can’t blame it on my youth
And roll your eyes with affection
And my cheeks are growing tired
From turning red and faking smiles
Are we only biding time
‘Til I lose your attention?
[Taylor Swift]
And someone else lights up the room
People love an ingénue
[Phoebe Bridgers]
I’ve had (I’ve had)
Too much to drink tonight
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
And I wake up (wake up)
In the middle of the night
It’s like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at 18
But nothing at 22?
And will you still want me
When I’m nothing new?
[Taylor Swift & Phoebe Bridgers]
I know someday I’m gonna meet her
It’s a fever dream
The kind of radiance you only have at 17
She’ll know the way
And then she’ll say she got the map from me
I’ll say I’m happy for her
Then I’ll cry myself to sleep
Oh, oh, oh (oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Taylor Swift]
I’ve had (I’ve had)
Too much to drink tonight
But I wonder if they’ll miss me
Once they drive me out
I wake up (wake up)
In the middle of the night
And I can feel time moving
[Taylor Swift & Phoebe Bridgers]
How can a person know everything at 18
But nothing at 22?
And will you still want me
Will you still want me
Will you still want me
When I’m nothing new?
