Taylor Swift | 22 | Begin Again

"22" is the song I like most from country music singer Taylor Swift’s fourth studio album “Red.” According to Diigo, the single is co-written by the American recording artist, Max Martin and Shellback. “22” was released as the album's fourth single on March 5, 2013. The song debuted at number 44 on United States Billboard Hot 100 chart and at number 7 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart with sales of 108,000. Meanwhile, Taylor’s preceding single “Begin Again” tops the Country chart this week.

22

It feels like a perfect night
To dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
It feels like a perfect night
For breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers
Ah,ah,ah,ah
Yeah, we're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It’s miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight’s the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time

I don't know about you
But I’m feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I’ll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're... 22, 22

It seems like one of those nights
This place is too crowded
Too many cool kids
ah,ah,ah,ah
It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
And end up dreaming instead of sleeping, yeah...
We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way
It’s miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight’s the night when we forget about the heartbreaks, it's time

I don't know about you
But I’m feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I’ll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're... 22, 22

I don’t know about you
22, 22

It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you
I gotta have you

I don't know about you
But I’m feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I’ll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're... 22, 22

22, 22

It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you
I gotta have you

Begin Again

Took a deep breath in the mirror.
He didn't like it when I wore high heels but I do.
Turn 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 8 months thinking,
All love ever does is break and burn and end.
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again.

You say 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 8 months thinking,
All love ever does is break and burn and end.
But on a Wednesday in a cafe 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 will talk about that for the first time.
What's past is past.

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 8 months thinking,
All love ever does is break and burn and end.
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again.
