Confession: I love Taylor Swift

Okay, so it's not really a confession that I love Taylor Swift. Anyone who knows me know that I shamelessly quote, sing, text, Snapchat, email, and find any other form of communication to use her lyrics in everyday conversation whenever possible. 

So, why do I love her? 

Simple.

Do these lyrics not melt you? They are essentially a culmination of my life, Taylor-Swift-lyric-style:

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school / I know I'm laughing 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'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know / I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on /  Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

When all you wanted was to be wanted / Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now / Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday / But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

Because I love your handshake, meeting my father / I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets / All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss / Never thought we'd have a last kiss

Because these things will change / Can you feel it now? / These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down / This revolution, the time will come / For us to finally win / And we’ll sing hallelujah, we’ll sing hallelujah

Tall, dark and superman / He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away / To save the world or go to work / It's the same thing to me / I watch superman fly away / You've got a busy day today / Go save the world I'll be around / I watch superman fly away

Maybe this is wishful thinking / Probably mindless dreaming / But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right / I'd go back in time and change it but I can't / So if the chain is on your door I understand

Long live the walls we crashed through / I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you / Will you take a moment, promise me this / That you'll stand by me forever / But if God forbid fate should step in / and force us into a goodbye / If you have children some day / When they point to the pictures / Please tell them my name

And for the first time I had something to lose /  And I guess we fell apart in the usual way / And the story’s got dust on every page / But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now/ And I see your face in every crowd

So don't you worry your pretty little mind / People throw rocks at things that shine / And life makes love look hard / The stakes are high, the water's rough / But this love is ours

Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise / So casually cruel in the name of being honest / Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it / I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it

And I just wanna tell you / It takes everything in me not to call you / And I wish I could run to you / And I hope you know that every time I don't / I almost do / I almost do

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did / I've been spending the last eight months / Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end / But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now / I just wanna know you, know you, know you

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning / That's when I could finally breathe / And by morning gone was any trace of you / I think I am finally clean

And they tell you that you’re lucky /  But you’re so confused / 'Cause you don’t feel pretty / you just feel used

We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing / We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom / Honey, life is just a classroom / Baby, we're the new romantics / Come on, come along with me / Heart break is the national anthem / We sing it proudly / We are too busy dancing / To get knocked off our feet / Baby, we're the new romantics / The best people in life are free

When we first dropped our bags on / Apartment floors / Took our broken hearts / Put them in a drawer / Everybody here was someone else before

We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time / It's miserable and magical.I don't know about you / But I'm feeling 22 / Everything will be alright / If we just keep dancing like we're 22, ooh-ooh

Need I say more?
