THE WAY IT SHOULD BEGIN
We always hear about how Taylor Swift breaks up with a guy or fail in a relationship, but we have never heard her sing about the start of one.
So this is it.
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He never liked it when I wore high heels but I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always say 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 wave
I walked to you
You pulled my chair and you helped 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
Has 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 walked 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 passed 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
Taylor mentioned that all love does is break, and burn and end...that's my perspective of love although I've never been in a relationship. I always see couples around me breaking up, fighting and bickering over the most ridiculous things and sometimes I really wonder if all these are what make a relationship. If it is so, are all these worth it?
I can't really say because I have never felt that way with anyone. And if one day I ever have someone, I really hope that we don't argue unreasonably and I hope that things don't get complicated. I think life is already tiring and aren't the person you love supposed to be that pillar of strength? Imagine going through another round of argument after a long day...
I have my own way of relating to the song though. The lyrics touches me in a very special way, and I guess that's how I feel about life and passion.
When your passion has fade, it's like losing the "love" for something - the drive to push through and work, and make living worthwhile.
To be frank, I am drained off the motivation to live at the moment, because it is tiring. Loving life itself is tiring because your passion will burn and end too you see - just like how Taylor puts it.
And when I hear those words, I cry a little because, I realised how I have died a little. I have lost all my passion at 25. How can that be?
And I hope that, like Taylor, I will find my passion (in her case, love) begin again...
I desperately need my passion to begin again and the song gave me hope.
It doesn't need to be relationship with a man, just relationship with a passion for something - a fire to get things started. I never needed a man in my life; I only needed passion...because without it, I realise that you don't find meaning in life.
And I hope, on a Monday, I can watch it begin again...
Of course, that is also how I want to feel someday about someone. It's more like how a first date should be...good conversation, and a good feeling.
That's why I love the song - because it is about the beginning, the good stuff...and hope.
Love the gradient colour and the feel of the video - but don't digg the storyline
Love and Cheers
