13 days before Taylor released her album, she posted pictures of lyrics from all of her songs and the bonus tracks. So I'm just going to tell the teaser and what song it's from and the lines surrounding it. Some of the teasers and the real lyrics may be different because the real lyrics are right from her booklet and the teasers are what Taylor wrote.
Track 1- Welcome To New York- "it's a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat... forevermore"
Welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat forever more
The lights are so bright
Track 2- Blank Space- "'nice to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things.'"
Nice to meet you
Where you been?
I could show you incredible things.
Magic, madness, Heaven, sin
Track 3-Style- "I say 'I heard that you've been out and about with some other girl'"
Lights are off he's taking off his coat
I say I heard- oh you've been out and about,
With some other girl
He says what you heard is true
Track 4- Out Of The Woods- "your necklace hanging from my neck the night we couldn't quite forget when we decided to move the furniture so we could dance baby, like we stood a chance. two paper airplanes flying, ...flying"
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying
Track 5- All You Had To Do Was Stay- "you were all I wanted... ...but not like this"
This was what you wanted
You ended it
You were all I wanted
But not like this...
Track 6- Shake It Off- "my ex man brought his new girlfriend she's like oh my god but i'm just gonna shake"
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "oh my god!"
But i'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there
With the hella good hair
Track 7- I Wish You Would- "you always knew how to push my buttons you give me everything and nothing"
You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad, mad love makes you come running
Track 8- Bad Blood- "band-aids don't fix bullet holes"
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts...
Track 9- Wildest Dreams- "he's so bad but he does it so well"
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
Track 10- How You Get The Girl- "remind her of how it used to be pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks"
Remind her how it used to be
Pictures in frames
Of kisses on cheeks
Tell her how you must have lost your mind
Track 11- This Love- "when you're young you just run but you come back to what you need..."
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, you just run
But yo come back
...to what you need
Track 12- I Know Places- "they are the hunters and we are the foxes. and we run"
They got the cages. They got the boxes. And guns.
They are the hunters and we are the foxes
And we run
Track 13- Clean- "when I was drowning that's when I could finally breathe"
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
By morning
Gone was any trace of you
Track 14(Bonus Track)- Wonderland- "you searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had. and in the end, in wonderland we both went mad"
I knew I had to go back home
You searched the world for something else
To make you feel like what we had
And in the end in wonderland
We both went mad...
Track 15(Bonus Track)- You Are In Love- "one night, he wakes strange look on his face pauses, then says 'you're my best friend.' and you knew what it was. he is in love"
You fight then you talk
One night he wakes
Strange look, his face
Pauses then says
You're my best friend
You knew what it was
He is in love
Track 16(Bonus Track)- New Romantics- "cause baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me"
'Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
