Begin Again by Taylor Swift
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do
Turned 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
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 eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again
You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy, but I do
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 eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again
And we walk 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 won't
Talk about that
And for the first time
What's past is past
Malapit na matapos ang kanta ng biglang bumukas ang pinto ng broadcast room. Kumakanta pa rin ako when they all entered the room. I smiled weakly while looking on their faces. Kitang-kita ang pagkagulat sa kanilang mukha.
'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 eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
Then on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again
Then on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again..
Cams said something and played some recorded songs. She turn off the microphones. Lumapit silang anim sa amin.
"Dan are you sure about this?"
Tanong ni Stephanie pagkalapit niya sa akin. Alam niya rin ang nangyari sa akin noong freshman year namin.
"I'm sure Steph. I don't want to hide again."
Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit. Cams joined us too.
"H-How? Pres,--"
"Mickey I'm sorry. I didn't tell you because I'm such a coward."
Ngumiti siya sa akin. Bumaling naman ako sa apat na lalaking nakatayo lang doon sa pintuan.
"Pinasaya mo ang hari at prinsipe Dan." Terry kidded. He hug me.
Bigla naman siyang hinablot ni Vaughn Adrian palayo sa akin. Nagulat ako sa gesture niya but I know it's just a friendly hug.
I noticed how Lance look at me. He got this soft expression. Like he's saying that he is proud of me.
Inirapan ko lang siya at bumalik na sa booth para kumanta ulit. Camilla tell them to be quiet. She plays the next song. This one is my favorite too.
All Too Well by Taylor Swift
I feel giddy. This is the first time they'll see me singing live.
My eyes are all on him.. Bakit sa kanya? Bakit hindi kay Ethan?
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
But something 'bout it felt like home somehow and I
Left my scarf there at your sister's house
And you still got it in your drawer even now
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone and
That magic's not here no more
And I might be okay
But I'm not fine at all
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause there we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over me
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-size bed
And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on a tee ball team
You tell me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me
And I know it's long gone and
There was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough
To forget why I needed to
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah
Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well
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
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it, 'cause you remember it all too well, yeah
'Cause there we are again, when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well..
I hope everything will turn out..
All too well...
