“The Moment I Knew”

You should’ve been there,
Should’ve burst through the door,
With that ‘baby I’m right here’ smile,
And it would’ve felt like,
A million little shining stars had just aligned,
And I would’ve been so happy.

Christmas lights glisten,
I’ve got my eye on the door,
Just waiting for you to walk in,
But the time is ticking,
People ask me how I’ve been
As I comb back through my memory,
How you said you’d be here,
You said you’d be here.

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they’re all laughing,
As I’m looking around the room,
But there’s one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

And the hours pass by,
Now I just wanna be alone,
But your close friends always seem to know
When there’s something really wrong,
So they follow me down the hall,
And there in the bathroom,
I try not to fall apart,
And the sinking feeling starts,
As I say hopelessly,
“He said he’d be here.”

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they’re all laughing,
And asking me about you,
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do when the one
Who means the most to you
Is the one who didn’t show?

You should’ve been here.
And I would’ve been so happy.

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they’re all standing around me singing
“Happy birthday to you”,
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

Ooh, I knew.
Ooh,

You called me later,
And said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t make it,”
And I said, “I’m sorry too,”
And that was the moment I knew.
 

I really should not be listening to Taylor songs. For a variety of reasons really. But the top one being that, for all her faults, she knows how to get me in my lyrical heart. 

howgirlsfeel:

You said it in a simple way,
4am, the second day
How strange that I don’t know you at all.
Stumbled through the long goodbye,
One last kiss, then catch your flight,
Right when I was just about to fall.

I told myself  ”don’t get attached”,
But in my mind I play it back
Spinning faster than the plane that took you.

This is when the feeling sinks in,
I don’t wanna miss you like this.
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today,
I don’t wanna need you this way.
Come back, be here
Come back, be here

The delicate beginning rush,
The feeling you can know so much,
Without knowing anything at all.
And now that I can put this down,
If I had known what I know now,
I never would have played so nonchalance.

Taxi cabs and busy streets,
That never bring you back to me,
I can’t help but wish you took me with you.

This is when the feeling sinks in,
I don’t wanna miss you like this.
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in London today,
I don’t wanna need you this way.
Come back, be here
Come back, be here

This is falling in love in the cruelest way.
This is falling for you and you are worlds away.

New York, be here.
But you’re in London and I break down,
‘Cause it’s not fair that you’re not around.

This is when the feeling sinks in,
I don’t wanna miss you like this.
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today,
I don’t wanna need you this way.
Come back, be here
Come back, be here

I don’t wanna miss you like this.
Come back, be here.
Come back, be here.

BASICALLY MY LIFE FROM NOVEMBER 2010 TO THE PRESENT. *_*
