& E D E N

Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift
"it's me, hi, i'm the problem, it's me
at tea time, everybody agrees
i'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero"

Illicit Affairs - Taylor Swift
"and that's the thing about illicit affairs
and clandestine meetings
and longing stares
it's born from just one single glance
but it dies, and it dies, and it dies
a million little times"

Mastermind - Taylor Swift
"no one wanted to play with me
as a little kid
so i've been scheming
like a criminal ever since
to make them love me
and make it seem effortless
this is the first time
i've felt the need to confess
and I swear i'm only cryptic
and Machiavellian 'cause i care"

True Blue - boygenius, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers
"and it feels good to be known so well
i can't hide from you
like i hide from myself
i remember who i am when i'm with you
your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue"

Twisted - MISSIO
"i'm uncontrollable, emotional,
chaotically proportional
i'm visceral, reloadable
i'm crazy, i'm crazy, i'm crazy, i'm crazy"

Archer - Taylor Swift
"i've been the archer
i've been the prey
screaming,
who could ever leave me,
darling?
but who could stay?"

Something In The Orange - Zach Bryan
"but i miss you in the morning
when i see the sun
somethin' in the orange
tells me we're not done
to you, i'm just a man,
to me, you're all i am
where the hell am i supposed to go?"

loml - Taylor Swift
"oh, what a valiant roar
what a bland goodbye
the coward claimed
he was a lion
i'm combing through
the braids of lies
'i'll never leave'
'never mind'"

WORK SONG - HOZIER
"if my time comes around,
lay me gently in the cold dark earth.
no grave can hold my body down,
i'll crawl home to her."

Enchanted - Taylor Swift
"this was the very first page,
not where the storyline ends.
my thoughts will echo your name
until i see you again."

Here With Me - d4vd
"i don't care how long it takes
as long as i'm with you
i've got a smile on my face
save your tears, it'll be okay"

Look After You - The Fray
"if ever there was a doubt
my love she leans into me
this most assuredly counts
she says most assuredly...
be my baby
i'll look after you
after you"

Would That I - Hozier
"so in awe there i stood as you
licked off the grain
though i've handled the wood
i still worship the flame
long as amber of ember glows
all the wood that i'd loved is long ago"

Ours - Taylor Swift
"so don't you worry your pretty little mind,
people throw rocks at things that shine,
and life makes love look hard.
the stakes are high, the water's rough,
but this love is ours."

Paper Rings - Taylor Swift
"i want to drive away with you
i want your complications too
i want your dreary Mondays
wrap your arms around me, baby boy"

The Night We Met - Lord Huron
"when the night was full of terrors
and your eyes were filled with tears
when you had not touched me yet
oh, take me back to the night we met"

Sweet - Cigarettes After Sex
"it's so sweet
knowing that you love me
though we don't need to say it
to each other, sweet
knowing that i love you
and running my fingers
through your hair
it's so sweet"

From Eden - Hozier
"honey, you're familiar
like my mirror years ago
idealism sits in prison,
chivalry fell on its sword
innocence died screaming,
honey, ask me i should know"

This Is Me Trying - Taylor Swift
"they told me all of my cages were mental
so i got wasted like all my potential
and my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
i have a lot of regrets about that
i was so ahead of the curve,
the curve became a sphere
fell behind on my classmates, and i ended up here
pouring out my heart to a stranger
but i didn't pour the whiskey"

Champagne Problems - Taylor Swift
"how evergreen, our group of friends
don't think we'll say that word again
and soon they'll have the nerve
to deck the halls
that we once walked through"

Seven - Taylor Swift
"and i've been meaning to tell you,
i think your house is haunted,
your dad is always mad
and that must be why
and i think you should come live with me
and we can be pirates
then you won't have to cry
or hide in the closet
and just like a folk song
our love will be passed on"

Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilish
"never told anyone anything bad
'cause that shit's embarrassing,
you were my everything
and all that you did
was make me fucking sad
so don't waste the time i don't have
and don't try to make me feel bad"

I Bet On Losing Dogs - Mitski
"i bet on losing dogs
i know they're losing and
i'll pay for my place by the ring
where i'll be looking in their eyes
when they're down
i'll be on their side
i'm losing by their side"

You're On Your Own, Kid - Taylor Swift
"the jokes weren't funny,
i took the money
my friends from home
don't know what to say
i looked around in a blood-soaked gown
and i saw something they can't take away"

Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me
- Taylor Swift
"i wanna snarl and show you
how disturbed this has made me
you wouldn't last an hour
in the asylum where they raised me
so all you kids can sneak into my house
with all the cobwebs
i'm always drunk on my own tears
isn't that what they all said?"
