Red by Taylor Swift

"Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met"

2012 is really a year for all the Swifties out there. So many Taylor songs coming out from nowhere, taking us all with our guards down, but i admittedly like how it all turned out.

As we all know, this month will be the month we have all been waiting for, the release of Taylor's album, Red. But wait, there's more! Just last week, Taylor released a single from her album, Begin Again, and now, she released another single, promotional single cuz I think Begin Again was the official one, RED, the title track of her album.

As I am writing this post, I actually am listening to it. And it's not just the second time. Haha. As always, it's on repeat.

Just like most of her songs, this is all about one of her previous relationship, a failing relationship, or a failed one. Knowing Taylor, she really was herself when she was writing this song. I think this song is good, the lyrics and the melody are quite catchy. She explained her love for the man just like these convincing metaphors, very vivid, very dramatic, very passionate, and her vocals, so pure and strong than her other songs. It is very country-ish but its chorus is kicking with surprises and twisting awesome sounds.  Listen to it and be mesmerized. :D

Red lyrics by Taylor Swift.

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

Faster than the wind

Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly

Loving him is like trying to change your mind

Once you’re already flying through the free fall

Like the colors in autumn

So bright just before they lose it all

Losing him was blue like I’d never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red

Loving him was red

Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there’s no right answer

Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong

Losing him was blue like I’d never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red

Oh red burning red

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it’s time now, gotta let go

But moving on from him is impossible

When I still see it all in my head

Burning red!

Darling it was red!

Oh, losing him was blue like I’d never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

Cause loving him was red yeah yeah red

We're burning red

And that's why he's spinning round in my head

Comes back to me burning red

Yeah yeah

Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
