THE SHAPE OF THINGS Lyrics, © 2006
Feel Like I Do
(Swift/ Tetreault)
Did you hear that sound when my heart fell out?
Onto your table and on to the floor
You sized me up, before I closed the door
You haunted me in memories
Of what I was before
Chorus:
Uh oh, Uh oh
Doesn't anybody
Feel like I do?
Feel like I do?
Uh oh, Uh oh
Doesn't everybody
Feel like I do?
Feel like I do?
You crushed my dreams and I can't believe
I think about you after all of these years
You sized me up before I closed the door
When seventeen
Was everything to me
Like the lion defends his pride
I'm just defending mine.
Like the undercurrent of a tide
I'll pull you in with mine.
Chorus:
I am hard like oak and soft like pine
Sweet as the passion fruit off the vine
Like the shadows that cast hours on the ground
I too am keeping time.
Like these halls who hold a history of sounds
I'm listening all the time.
Chorus:
I'm hard like oak, soft like pine
Sweet like passion fruit right off the vine
Baby one more time, I'll drink it in like wine
Baby one more time...
Chorus
Avalanche
(Swift/Hurst/Tetreault)
I didn't make it to the summit
Cause my climb got interrupted
By an avalanche of things I didn't say
Left me sifting through the wreckage
Pre-Chorus:
And the gravity, got a hold of me...
Chorus:
Soon we'll see the mountaintop
We'll move past where the foothills stop
Somehow you and I got caught
In a landslide all our own,
In a landslide all our own.
It took a while for me to surface
And to find our love is worth it
After an avalanche forced the reality
Of how much power is in our weakness
But how green, is our valley?
Chorus:
Soon we'll see the mountaintop
We'll move past where the foothills stop
Somehow you and I got caught
In a landslide all our own,
In a landslide all our own.
Interrupter
(Swift/Tetreault/Canaday)
A fault line in my memory
I remember when you came to me
You were the pull that pushed me into insanity
You interrupted everything
Cracked the surface of what was me
You took my picture perfect heart and made it bleed
I don't know why I let you in so far
I should of known better, cause you're no better
Hey, Interrupter
There ain't enough room in this town
It's about time that I take you out
So this was how the West was won
See 'em comin', Annie get your gun
Before the sun goes down on the fight that's left in me
Now there's no interrupting anything
The power shifted in just one swing
I pulled the punch that put you into your own grave
I don't know why I let it get that far
I should of known better, cause you're no better
Hey, Interrupter
Gotta get you out of this town
It's about time, that I took you out...
The Shape of Things
(Swift/Tetreault)
Babe you push and you pull
You pull and you push me down
In slow, slow motion like a car crash
Babe you give and you take
And you take and you give me love
In small, small doses
And I like it, like it, like it!
Chorus:
I don't notice the shape of things
I just take in their weight and blink
I shutter to think
How I lost it
I don't notice the shape of things
I just take in their weight and blink
I shutter to think
How I lost it
Babe you stop and you stare
You stare and you stop my heart
With wild, wild glances like the movies
Babe you stay and you go
You go and you stay too long
In lover's fashion, like the last one
Now he's gone, gone, gone!
Chorus:
I don't notice the shape of things
I just take in their weight and blink
I shutter to think
How I lost it
I don't notice the shape of things
I just take in their weight and blink
I shutter to think
How I lost it
And you give and you take, and you're takin' it all away...
They say that Sober is hard enough
Without you complicating it with love
They say you won't know your down from up
If I kissed you tonight
It's not the right time for both of us
To find ourselves finding love
But I forget all that stuff
When you kiss me tonight
And you tell me that I'm special
You are always in my thoughts
I can't help but find you
On the forefront of my mind
Every time you pull me closely
I'm reminded; I'm addicted to your kind
Boy you sure do clean up nice
It's no surprise when I look in your eyes
I see your heart and it feels so right
So kiss me tonight
They said we'd never work it out
But we worked it out somehow
I wanted you then, I want you now
So kiss me tonight
12 steps closer
Everyday gets easier
And you tell me that I'm special
Chorus
Something Borrowed
(Swift/Tetreault)
I had my something borrowed
My something old and something new
Without you here my heart was broken
So I had my something blue.
So this
Is the prelude of our love
Some things
Don't work out the way you want
But you take life as it comes
Anyway
I carried a bouquet of calla lilies
A smell that I keep with me
Makes me think of you
You always had such a lovely garden
I loved to run around in
Look how big I grew
So this
Is the prelude of our love
Some things
Don't work out the way you want
But you take life as it comes
Anyway
I had these dreams since I was little
That you'd be there and fiddle
With my veil and gown
I swear if you could have seen me,
You'd a been so happy, you'd a
Been so proud
All the lovely ladies
Were once somebody's baby (repeat)
I hate to break it to you
But I can see right through you
And you don't mean the things you say
If you're not careful "never"
Might become "forever"
Go on and give your heart a chance
Better believe, better believe
There's still love, there's still love
Better believe, better believe
And don't give up, don't give up
He'll never hang your moon
Because she left too soon
But brightness still fall on your stars
And that's what love will do,
It comes to rescue you
Go on and give yourself a chance
Better believe, better believe
There's still love, there's still love
Better believe, better believe
And don't give up, don't give up
