state of grace

taylor swift has come out with yet another single, called, "state of grace."  here's her explaining what the song is about.


the song is truly beautiful, but again, i feel it's pretty different for t.swft.  not WANEGBT different, but like, indie-punkish?  haha.  i have no clue how to describe it.  it just sounds so completely different for some reason, and the drums almost make it sound punky.  {taylor swift is not a punk, just saying.  haha!}  anyway here's the song for you to decide.

State of Grace by Taylor Swift on Grooveshark

"I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know is touch and go
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time

"And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same

"You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball
Now all we know is don't let go
We are in love just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes
So you were never a saint and I love that the shades are wrong?
We learn to live with the pain mostly our broken hearts?
But this love is brave and wild?

"And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right
These are the hands of faith
You're my Achilles heel
This is the golden age of something good and right and real

"And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same
And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right"
{lyrics via}

my favorite line is, "and i never saw you coming, and i'll never be the same."  and i really like the "four blue eyes" part.
 
i feel this is a song that's going to grow on me.  you know?  like when you first hear a song and you're like i like this... {but not a ton} and then you keep hearing it or listen to it, you become obsessed?    i'm pretty sure that's how this song is going to turn out for me, because i like it, but, it's not my favorite... {yet.} 

can't wait for red in less than a week!!!!!!  :D

  4. Also...Also...I have some input. I will be honest. I love each of her songs lately..BUT i don't like that she's changing. I hate that she calls herself country. Because this hasn't been country. And I'm starting to say..."TAYLOR! pleeeasseee come backkk!"
