Taylor Swift

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Midnight
You come and pick me up, no headlights
A long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh
It's been a while since I have even heard from you
(Heard from you)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I should just tell you to leave, 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads, but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time

[Chorus]
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

[Verse 2]
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road, mmm
Takes me home
The lights are off, he's taking off his coat, mmm, yeah
I say, "I heard, oh
That you've been out and about with some other girl"
Some other girl
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "What you heard is true, but I
Can't stop thinking 'bout you and I"
I said, "I've been there too a few times"

[Chorus]
'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (A tight little skirt)
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style (We never go, we never go)
We never go out of style

[Bridge]
Take me home (Ah)
Just take me home (Ah)
Yeah, just take me home (Ah)
Oh-oh, woah-oh, oh (Out of style)

[Chorus]
Oh, you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down (And when we go)
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style

About Style

Style is a smooth yet haunting song that captures the turbulent emotions of a relationship that is just as likely to bring pain as it is love. The song begins with a disjointed beat that gives way to a slow and sultry melody. The opening lines "Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights" immediately set a tone of intensity and passion that builds throughout the song.

The lyrics of the song utilize metaphor and vivid imagery to describe the ups and downs of the relationship between the two people at the center of the story. Lines such as "You've got that James Dean daydream look in your eye" and "Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer" paint a picture of a relationship that is complex, passionate, and at times, confusing.

The chorus of the song is particularly memorable, with its repetition of "Cause we never go out of style" creating a sort of mantra for the couple at the center of the story. As the song progresses, the intensity of the music and the emotion of Swift's voice build to a powerful crescendo, capturing the intensity of the relationship that serves as the song's inspiration.

Swift teased the lyrics of the song in an Instagram post in October 2014, and fans eagerly anticipated the release of the song as a single. As part of the album 1989, which was a departure from Swift's earlier country music sound and embraced a more pop-oriented style, Style was an important showcase for Swift's evolving artistry and ability to experiment with different sounds and styles.

The song's music video was directed by Kyle Newman and features actor Dominic Sherwood as Swift's love interest. The video captures the moody and passionate tone of the song, with stark lighting and close-ups of the two actors emphasizing the emotional intensity of the story.

Style has been widely praised for its use of metaphor and imagery, as well as for Swift's powerful vocals and ability to capture the intense and complex emotions of a troubled relationship. The song has been credited with cementing Swift's status as one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation.

Overall, Style is a powerful and evocative song that captures the ups and downs of a passionate and tumultuous relationship. With its memorable lyrics, haunting melody, and powerful vocals, it is no surprise that the song has become one of Taylor Swift's most popular and enduring hits.
