I’m seeing the Eras Tour this year, just so excited. I’m making friendship bracelets with lyrics - can any fans share some of their favourites for inspo?

I’ve loved you 3 summers now honey I want ‘em all

”Did some force take you because I didn’t pray. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you were bigger than the whole sky, you were more than just a short time. I’ve got a lot to pine about, I’ve got a lot to do without, I’m never gonna meet, what could’ve been, what should’ve been you…”

I bawled my EYES out the first time I heard this song. My 6 year old heard it and fell in love with it without grasping the meaning behind it…trying to explain to her as my ‘rainbow’ baby after the pain of miscarriage…there were no words!

You, that’s what happened, you

crimewatcher · 09/01/2024 22:06

Hands down from should have could have would have....

"GIVE ME BACK MY GIRLHOOD, IT WAS MINE FIRST" actual chills when I heard that bridge 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

The entire song is amazing but this part of Fifteen for me

Well, in your life you'll do things
Greater than dating the boy on the football team
I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted
Was to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now

NaturalStudy · 09/01/2024 22:12

What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?

Very jealous of you OP.

DarthSaver · 10/01/2024 07:18

Other than some of the ones already mentioned...

"I'm not your problem any more, so who am I offending?"

"I might be ok, but I'm not fine at all"

"I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it"

"When I got into the accident, the sight that flashed before me was your face"

feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

You kept me like a promise but I kept you like an oath.

These are all so good, thank you so much!

I love how many people are moved by her lyrics. I just think she’s magnificent.

So many!!
Agree about Betty.
One of my favourites is tis the damn season.

CrispsandCheeseSandwich · 10/01/2024 13:22

I have quite a lot, depending on mood etc. and a lot of my favourites have already been said.

But I love this from Suburban Legends
"You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious
Flushed with the currency of cool
I was always turning out my empty pockets"

Not the most poetic or anything but I love how in a few words I can picture what this man is like, and how she felt.

I love the whole of champagne problems but this is particularly good:
"Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure"
And I love the whole if would've could've should've
"Give me back my girlhood it was mine first"
And Right where you left me is one of my favourites as well

I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
'Cause I'm right where
I cause no harm, mind my business
If our love died young, I can't bear witness
And it's been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong
I'm right where you left me

But I could probably find favourite lyrics from every song!

EllieQ · 10/01/2024 13:34

I've only recently started listening to her music, but the one that sticks with me is from ‘Love Story’ where she sings ‘You were only young but I was a scarlet letter’ - just sums up the double standard for men and women.

ILookAtTheFloor · 10/01/2024 13:36

Karma is a cat, purring in my lap cos it loves me

Is my favourite!

Yes and she says similar in "Slut!"

"I'll pay the price, you wont"

Wildest dreams - He’s so tall and handsome hell so bad but he does it so well. Always reminds me of the ex I adored and had all of the above

Educationexpert · 10/01/2024 14:08

They told me all of my cages were mental
so I got wasted like all my potential

“Back when I was living for the hope of it all”

ValenciaOrange · 10/01/2024 14:21

That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

From Tied together with a smile

“Back when I was living for the hope of it all”

It's the way she sings this. We've all felt like that at some point I think. That's her genius.
