taylor swift - nothing new / dear reader lyrics

[part i: nothing new]

[verse]
they tell you while you’re young
“girls, go out and have your fun”
then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it
criticize the way you fly
when you’re soaring through the sky
shoot you down and then they sigh
and say, “she looks like she’s been through it”

[pre+chorus]
lord, what will become of me
once i’ve lost my novelty?

[chorus]
i’ve had too much to drink tonight
and i know it’s sad, but this is what i think about
and i wake up in the middle of the night
it’s like i can feel time moving
how can a person know everything at 18
but nothing at 22
and will you still want me
when i’m nothing new?

[part ii: dear reader]
[verse]
dear reader, if it feels like a trap
you’re already in one
dear reader, get out a map
pick somewhere and just run
dear reader, burn all the files
desert all your past lives
and if you don’t recognize yourself
that means you did it right

[chorus]
never take advice from someone who’s falling apart
never take advice from someone who’s falling apart

[part iii: nothing new]

[bridge]
i know someday, i’m gonna meet her, it’s a fever dream
the kinda radiance you only have at seventeen
she’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
i’ll say i’m happy for her, then i’ll cry myself to sleep
oh, woah, oh
oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, oh

[part v: dear reader]
[bridge]
so i wander through these nights
i prefer hiding in plain sight
my fourth drink in my hand
these desperate prayers of a cursed man
spilling out to you for free
but, darling, darling, please
you wouldn’t take my word for it if you knew who was talking
if you knew where i was walking
to a house, not a home
all alone ’cause n0body’s there
where i pace in my pen
and my friends found friends who care
no one sees when you lose when you’re playing solitaire

[refrain]
you should find another guiding light, guiding light
but i shine so bright
you should find another guiding light, guiding light

[part vi: nothing new]

[chorus]
cause i’ve had too much to drink tonight
but i wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out
wake up in the middle of the night
and i can feel time moving
how can a person know everything at 18
but nothing at 22?
and will you still want me
will you still want me
will you still want me
when i’m nothing new
[part vii: dear reader / nothing new]

[outro]
dear reader, will you still want me
dear reader, when i’m nothing new
dear reader, will you still want me when i’m nothing new?
