"I'm Only Me When I'm With You" by Taylor Swift (Angelo/Robert Ellis Orrall/Taylor Swift)
1st Verse
Friday night beneath the stars
In a field behind your yard
You and I are paintin' pictures in the sky
Sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side
Pre Chorus
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you
Chorus
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only tryin'
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
2nd Verse
Just a small-town boy and girl
Livin' in the crazy world
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true
And I don't try to hide my tears
My secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all, nobody gets me like you do
Pre Chorus
And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
When I'm with anybody else
It's so hard to be myself
And only you can say
Tag Chorus
That I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only tryin'
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me, who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh, yeah
"Tim McGraw" by Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift/Liz Rose)
1st Verse
He said the way my blue eyes shine
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, 'That's a lie'
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
It had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On back roads at night
Pre Chorus
And I was right there beside him
All summer long
And then the time we woke up to find
That summer gone
Chorus
(Well) when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think 'a me
2nd Verse
September saw a month of tears
And thankin' God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
Pre Chorus
It's hard not to find it all
A little bittersweet
And lookin' back on all of that
It's nice to believe
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read is
Tag Chorus
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think 'a me
Oh, think 'a me, mmm

"Picture To Burn" by Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift/Liz Rose)
1st Verse
State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself
More than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine

(You won't mind if I (say) (stay))
And by the way...
Chorus
(I hate) that stupid ol' pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lyin'

On all my wasted time
(As far as I'm concerned)
(You're just another picture to burn)
(In case you haven't heard)
(I really, really hate)
2nd Verse
There's no time for tears
I'm just sittin' here plannin' my revenge
There's nothin' stoppin' me
From goin' out with all 'a your best friends
And if you come around sayin' sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be 'cause

"Teardrops On My Guitar" by Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift/Liz Rose)
1st Verse
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needin'
Everythin' that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everythin'
That I have to live without
2nd Verse
Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's (just) so (damn) funny
That I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night
Chorus
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star
He's the song in the car I keep singin'
Don't know why I do
3rd Verse
Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe
And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
Tag Chorus
'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough for me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singin'
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up
But there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into

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

1st Verse
I don't know what I want
So don't ask me
'Cause I'm still tryin' to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walkin'
Tryin' to see through the rain comin' down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
Chorus
I'm alone on my own
And that's all I know
(Oh) I'll be strong
I'll be wrong
Oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl
Tryin' to find a place in this world
2nd Verse
Got the radio on
My old blue jeans
And I'm wearin' my heart on my sleeve
Feelin' lucky today
Got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's okay
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
(Chorus Out)
"Stay Beautiful" by Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift/Liz Rose)
1st Verse
Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles
It's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words that nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
That watch him as he's walkin' home
Sayin' does he know
Will you ever know
Chorus
(You're) beautiful
Every little piece, love
And don't you know
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my (front) door
Oh, but if it don't
(Will you stay)
(Stay beautiful)
2nd Verse
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm takin' pictures in my mind
So I can save 'em for a rainy day
It's hard to make a conversation
When he's takin' my breath away
I should say
Hey, by the way
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold
At least you'll know
(Chorus Out)
"Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" by Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift/Liz Rose/Brian Maher)
1st Verse
She said, 'I was 7 and you were 9
I looked at you
Like the stars that shined in the sky
The pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growin' up and fallin' in love
And our mama's smiled and rolled their eyes
And said, 'Oh, my my my''
2nd Verse
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up
You were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me
And ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh, my my my, my
3rd Verse
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined
Like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mama's smiled and rolled their eyes
And said, 'Oh, my my my'
4th Verse
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
2 a.m. ridin' in your truck
And all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time
We had our very first fight
Slammin' of doors instead of kissin' goodnight
You stayed outside 'til the mornin' light
Oh, my my my, my
Bridge
A few years had gone and come around
We were sittin' at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me
Got down on one knee
5th Verse
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came, and our mama's cried
You said, 'I do' and I did, too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
Tag
And I'll be 87, you'll be 89
I still look at you
Like the stars that shine in the sky
Oh, my my my
"Our Song" by Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift)
1st Verse
I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steerin' wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, 'Baby, is somethin' wrong?'
I say, 'Nothin'
I was just thinkin' how we don't have a song'
And he says
Chorus
Our song is a slammin' screen door
Sneakin' out late
Tappin' on your window
When we're on the phone
And you talk real slow
'Cause it's late, and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, 'Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have'
And when I got home
'Fore I said, 'Amen'
Askin' God if He could play it again
2nd Verse
I was walkin' up the front porch steps
After everythin' that day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway
Well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice
All the roses and the note that said
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
I've heard every album
Listened to the radio
Waited for somethin' to come along
That was as good as our song
Tag Chorus
'Cause our song is a slammin' screen door
Sneakin' out late
Tappin' on his window
When we're on the phone
And he talks real slow
'Cause it's late, and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date, 'Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have'
And when I got home
'Fore I said, 'Amen'
Askin' God if He could play it again
Play it again, oh yeah, oh oh yeah

I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
