The street looks when it’s just rained In this one horse town, I wanna stay right here
There’s a glow off the pavement In this passenger seat
You walk me to the car You put your eyes on me
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there In this moment now
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah, oh yeah Capture it, remember it
We’re drivin’ down the road REPEAT CHORUS…Oh oh
I wonder if you know
I’m tryin’ so hard not to get caught up now Well you stood there with me in the doorway
But you’re just so cool, run your hands through your hair My hands shake, I’m not usually this way but
Absent mindedly makin’ me want you You pull me in and I’m a little more brave
It’s a first kiss, it’s flawless, really somethin’
CHORUS It’s fearless, oh oh oh oh yeah
And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES
Fearless Oh, oh…Oh yeah
And I don’t know why but with you I’d dance
In a storm in my best dress…Fearless
CHORUS CHORUS
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone Romeo save me I’ve been feelin’ so alone
I’ll be waitin’ all that’s left to do is run I keep waitin’ for you but you never come
You be the Prince and I’ll be the Princess Is this in my head I don’t know what to think
It’s a Love Story baby just say yes He knelt to the ground and pulled
out a ring and said
So I sneak out to the garden to see you Marry me Juliet you never have to be alone
We keep quiet cause we’re dead if they I love you and that’s all I really know
knew so close your eyes I talked to your Dad go pick out a white dress
Escape this town for a little while oh oh oh It’s a Love Story baby just say yes
Cause you were Romeo, I was a Scarlet Letter
And my Daddy said stay away from Juliet Oh oh…Oh oh…Cause we were
But you were everything to me both young when I first saw you
lOvE sToRY
I was beggin’ you please don’t go…And I said
CHORUS
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all that’s left to do is run written by Taylor Swift
You be the Prince and I’ll be the Princess

White Horse
written by Taylor Swift and Liz Rose
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
She’s upset, she’s going off about something that you said Been here all along so why can’t you see
Cause she doesn’t get your humor like I do You belong with me
Standin’ by waitin’ at your back door
I’m in the room it’s a typical Tuesday night All this time how could you not know baby
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like You belong with me
And she’ll never know your story like I do You belong with me
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts Oh I remember you drivin’ to my house in the middle of the night
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re ‘bout to cry
Dreamin’ ‘bout the day when you’ll wake up and find I know your favorite songs and you tell me ‘bout your dreams
That what you’re lookin’ for has been here the whole time I think I know where you belong, I think I know it’s with me
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you Can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see Been here all along so why can’t you see
You belong with me You belong with me
You belong with me Standin’ by waitin’ at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby
Walkin’ the streets with you in your worn out jeans You belong with me
I can’t help thinkin’ this is how it ought to be You belong with me
Laughin’ on a park bench thinkin’ to myself, hey isn’t this easy You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town You belong with me
I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you’re fine I know you better than that
Hey whatcha doin’ with a girl like that
CHORUS
And we know it’s never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You’re the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can’t breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
I took a chance, I took a shot Yes, I remember what you said last night
And you might think I’m bulletproof, but I’m not And I know that you see what you’re doin’ to me
You took a swing, I took it hard Tell me why
And down here from the ground I see who you are
Why-i-i, do you have to make me feel small
I’m sick and tired of your attitude So you can feel whole inside
I’m feelin’ like I don’t know you Why, do you have to put down my dreams
You tell me that you love me then cut me down So you’re the only thing on my mind
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak I’m sick and tired of your attitude
Makes me run for cover when you’re around I’m feeling like I don’t know you
And here’s to you and your temper You tell me that you want me then cut me down
Yes, I remember what you said last night I’m sick and tired of your reasons
And I know that you see what you’re doin’ to me I’ve got no one to believe in
Tell me why You ask me for my love then you push me around
Here’s to you and your temper
You could write a book on how to ruin someone’s Yes, I remember what you said last night
perfect day And I know that you see what you’re doin’ to me
Well I get so confused and frustrated Tell me why
Forget what I’m tryin’ to say, oh oh Why, tell me why
I’m sick and tired of your reasons I take a step back, let you go
I got no one to believe in I told you I’m not bulletproof
You tell me that you want me then push me around Now you know
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak

All this time I was wastin’ hopin’ you would come around
I’ve been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
You had me crawlin’ for you honey
And it never would’ve gone away no
You used to shine so bright but
,
Youre
And it’s taken me this long baby but I figured you out I watched all of it fade
Not
And you think it will be fine again but not this time around
CHORUS
Sorry
CHORUS So you don’t have to call anymore
You don’t have to call anymore I won’t pick up the phone
I won’t pick up the phone This is the last straw
This is the last straw There’s nothin’ left to beg for
Don’t wanna to hurt anymore And you can tell me that you’re sorry
And you can tell me that you’re sorry But I don’t believe you baby written
But I don’t believe you baby Like I did before by
Like I did before You’re not sorry, no, no, oh, oh Taylor
You’re not sorry, no, no, no, oh, oh You’re not sorry, no, no, oh, oh Swift
No, no, oh, oh
Lookin’ so innocent
I might believe you if I didn’t know
Coulda loved you all my life
If you hadn’t left me waitin’ in the cold
And you got your share of secrets
And I’m tired of being last to know, woah
And now you’re asking me to listen cause
it’s worked each time before
CHORUS
But you don’t have to call anymore
I won’t pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don’t wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you’re sorry
But I don’t believe you baby

ForevEr & Always
Was I out of line, did I say something way too honest,
made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
written by Taylor Swift Thought I knew you for a minute, now I’m not so sure
Once upon a time, I believe it was a So here’s to everything comin’ down to nothin’
Tuesday when I caught your eye Here’s to silence that cuts me to the core
And we caught onto somethin’ Where is this going, thought I knew for a minute,
I hold onto the night, you looked me But I don’t anymore
in the eye and told me you loved me
REPEAT CHORUS
Were you just kidding
Cause it seems to me, You didn’t mean it baby…I don’t think so
this thing is breaking down Oh, oh oh
We almost never speak Back up, baby, back up…Did you forget everything?
I don’t feel welcome anymore Back up, baby, back up…Did you forget everything?
Baby what happened, please tell me
Cause one second it was perfect, You see it rains in your bedroom
now you’re halfway out the door Everything is wrong
It rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
CHORUS Cause I was there when you said forever and always
And I stare at the phone,
he still hasn’t called CHORUS
And then you feel so low you can’t feel Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn’t called
nothin’ at all And then you feel so low you can’t feel nothin’ at all
And you flashback to when And you flashback to when we said forever and always
he said forever and always And it rains in your bedroom…Everything is wrong
Oh oh, and it rains in your bedroom It rains when you’re here and it rains when you’re gone
Everything is wrong Cause I was there when you said forever and always
It rains when you’re here and Didn’t mean it baby
it rains when you’re gone You said forever and always yeah

I’m five years old it’s gettin’ cold I’ve got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
The Best Day written by Taylor Swift
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you’re not scared of anything at all
Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I’m thirteen now and don’t know how my friends could be so mean
I come home cryin’ and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop till I forgot all their names
I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school
But I know I’m laughin’ on the car ride home with you
Don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out he’s better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you’re talkin’ to me
It’s the age of princesses and pirate ships and the Seven Dwarfs
Daddy’s smart and you’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
And now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watchin’ me shine and I didn’t know if you knew
So I’m takin’ this chance to say that I had the best day with you today © 2008 Sony/ATV Tree Publishing, Taylor Swift Music (BMI). All rights reserved. Used by permission.

We sing Hallelujah, we sing Hallelujah oh
So we’ve been outnumbered…Raided and now cornered
It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair
We’re getting’ stronger now…Find things they never found
They might be bigger…But we’re faster and never scared
You can walk away, say we don’t need this
But there’s somethin’ in your eyes…Says we can beat this
REPEAT CHORUS
Tonight we’ll stand, get off our knees
Fight for what we’ve worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it’s the fight of our lives
But we’ll stand up champions tonight
It was the night things changed…Do you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It’s a revolution, throw your hands up
Cause we never gave in
And we’ll sing Hallelujah, we sang Hallelujah…Hallelujah
This album is called “FEARLESS”, and I guess I’d like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, “FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not
being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of
those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your
freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again…even though every time you’ve tried
before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only
hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone
apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”,
and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS.
Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’s FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in
it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.
