Begin Again - Taylor Swift

Begin Again - Taylor Swift

Lyric:

Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels but I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song but I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early
And you stand and wait
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is

But I do

Chorus:
“And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I’m funny cause he never did
I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again. “

You said you never met one girl who
Has as many James Taylor records as you
But I doWe tell stories and you don't know why I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

Chorus: 

“But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I’m funny cause he never did
I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again."

And we walked down the block, to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I don’t want to talk about that
And for the first time, what's past is past

'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I’m funny cause he never did
I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again
