Come Back, Be Here
-Taylor Swift
This was one of my songs on repeat today. I enjoy my driving trips back to the City. As I listened to the new Red (TV) album, this one struck home with me.
In one of my Reddit groups, someone asked the question: Which song would you assign to your zodiac sign? I know some don’t believe in Zodiac signs, but I do. I could only find one song to mention at the time, but I asked, what else would say “moonchild” to you.
A person said “which one wouldn’t?” So right. Moonchildren are so emotional. Sometimes, I wish I were any other sign, but it’s so amazing to “get” and feel so many of the Swift lyrics. They’re all so romantic and emotional, heart-breaking and sometimes just “cross me and be worried”. Love them. Especially this today:
You said it in a simple way
4:00 a.m. the second day
How strange that I don’t know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then catch your flight
Right when I was just about to falI told myself, don’t get attached
But in my mind, I play it back
Spinning faster than the plane that took you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today
I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be hereThe delicate beginning rush
The feeling you can know so much
Without knowing anything at all
And now that I can put this down
If I had known what I’d known now
I never would’ve played so nonchalant
Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me
I can’t help but wish you took me with you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in London today
And I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be hereThis is falling in love in the cruelest way
This is falling for you and you are worlds away
In New York, be here
But you’re in London, and I break down
‘Cause it’s not fair that you’re not around
This is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today
And I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be hereOh-oh, oh-oh
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
