I thought it would be kind of neat to read a story based on lyrics from Taylor Swift’s songs, so that’s what I did, for the most part. Any repetitive lines were discarded. It’s difficult to explain the story when it’s only Taylor’s lyrics and none of my own.

Hey Stephen,

I was reminiscing just the other day

I used to think one day we’d tell the story of us:

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

We were both young when I first saw you

I’m five years old

New to town with a made up name in the angel city

You found yourself at my door

“Welcome to New York”

“Nice to meet you, where you been?”

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors

“I’m so glad you made time to see me”

“You have a way of coming easily to me”

I was seven and you were nine

“Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did”

“I guess you really did it this time”

I said “That’s a lie”

“Trouble, trouble”

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold

Stand there like a ghost shaking from the rain,

Long handwritten note deep in your pocket

“You and I walk a fragile line”

“I don’t know what I want so don’t ask me,

But I don’t wanna dance if I’m not dancing with you.

One day, we will be remembered,

And I’ll write your name,

All the time.”

It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well.

Took a beep breath in the mirror,

I took a chance, I took a shot.

You were in college working part time waiting tables.

“Please don’t have somebody waiting on you,

All I knew this morning when I woke

I can’t help myself, I gotta have you. You belong with me.

Now you know.”

“Never thought I’d see it.”

I said remember this moment in the back of my mind.

I remember, oh I remember.

I still remember the look on your face.

Midnight,

Just like our last…

“I bet this time of night you’re still up”

“I stay out too late”

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters

It’s 2 AM in your car,

I was riding shotgun.

“Oh, I’m just a girl.”

He said the way my “blue eyes shine,

In the sky, oh my, oh my.

Seems the only one who doesn’t see your beauty,

I wish you would.

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm.

Don’t you dream impossible things?

Even if it’s just in your wildest dreams.

Put your lips close to mine,

With a smile, baby.

There’s something ‘bout the way

I see your face in my mind as I drive away.

Stay beautiful,

Fearless.

Oh, never grow up, just never grow up.

It’s strange to think the songs we used to sing,

Unless you play it good and right.”

I said, “Oh my, what a marvelous tune”

And I wrote down our song.

That’s how you got the girl.

And that’s the way I loved you.

I remember when we broke up the first time.

“I’m pretty sure we almost broke up last night”

You, with your words like knives.

I’m walking fast through traffic lights.

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street.

People like you always want back the love they gave away.

It’s never too late to get it back.

But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it all being again.

I didn’t know what I would find.

She took him faster than you could say 'sabatage’

You’re on the phone with your girlfriend-she’s upset.

Was she worth this?

There I was again tonight,

“Say you’re sorry”

“I’m sorry”

“You’re not sorry,

All this time I was wasting,

all the time.

I am not the kind of girl

'Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see,

I shake it off’

With you today,

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.

What a beautiful tragic love affair.

But we are never ever ever getting back together.

Cause baby now we’ve got bad blood.

The End.”

And it’s a sad picture, the final blow hits you.

State the obvious; I didn’t get my perfect fantasy.

Once upon a time…

Long were the nights when,

You stand with your hand on my waist line,

Your little hand’s wrapped around my finger.

You said forever.

All you had to do was stay.

Last time I’m asking you this,

Why you gotta be so mean?

You should’ve known,

To catch me now,

When they said “Speak now”

But I think that it’s best if we both stay.

Looking at it now,

I’ve never been anywhere cold as you.

Baby, burn.

And I hope sometimes you wonder about me.

Cory’s eyes are like a jungle,

He is sensible and so incredible.

And the sparks fly.

I like it.

We never go out of style.

He said, “Let’s get out of this town,

I know places”

“I’ve never been on the outside”

“Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in.

The drought was the very worst.

Walking through a crowd, the village is aglow,

And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.

Yes, yes, I can see it now.”

This love, this love, this love, this love,

Hallelujah,

Think I’m finally clean.
