taylor swift - the albatross / holy ground lyrics

[part i: the albatross]

[verse 1]
wise men once said
“wild winds are death to the candle”
a rose by any other name is a scandal
cautions issued, he stood
shooting the messengers
they tried to warn him about her

[chorus]
cross your thoughtless heart
only liquor anoints you
she’s the albatross
she is here to destroy you

[part ii: holy ground]

[verse 1]
i was reminiscing just the other day
while havin’ coffee all alone and, lord, it took me away
back to a first+glance feelin’ on new york time
back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme
took off fastеr than a green light, go
yeah, you skip the conversation whеn you already know
i left a note on the door with a joke we’d made
and that was the first day
[chorus]
and darlin’, it was good
never lookin’ down
and right there where we stood
was holy ground

[post+chorus]
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+woah
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+woah
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+woah
oh+oh, ah

[part iii: the albatross]

[bridge]
and when that sky rains fire on you
and you’re persona non grata
i’ll tell you how i’ve been there too
and that none of it matters

[part iv: holy ground]

[bridge]
tonight, i’m gonna dance
for all that we’ve been through
but i don’t wanna dance
if i’m not dancin’ with you
tonight, i’m gonna dance
like you were in this room
but i don’t wanna dance
if i’m not dancin’ with you
[chorus]
it was good
i’m never lookin’ down
and right there where we stood
was holy ground

[post+chorus]
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+oh
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+oh
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+oh
ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, ooh+ayy, oh+oh

[part v: the albatross]

[chorus]
so i crossed my thoughtless heart
spread my wings like a parachute
i’m the albatross
i swept in at the rescue
the devil that you know
looks now more like an angel
i’m the life you chose
and all this terrible danger
oh, oh+oh, woah

[part vi: holy ground]
[outro]
tonight, i’m gonna dance
for all that we’ve been through
but i don’t wanna dance
if i’m not dancin’ with you
tonight, i’m gonna dance
like you were in this room
but i don’t wanna dance
if i’m not dancin’ with you
