  • Our secret moments in your crowded room
    They got no idea about me and you
    There is an indentation in the shape of you
    Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo

    All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation
    My hands are shaking from holdin' back from you (ah, ah, ah)
    All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting
    My hands are shaking from all this (ah, ha, ha, ha)

    Say my name and everything just stops
    I don't want you like a best friend
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Take it off
    Carve your name into my bedpost
    'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Take it off

    Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try
    And if I get burned, at least we were electrified
    I'm spilling wine in the bathtub
    You kiss my face and we're both drunk
    Everyone thinks that they know us
    But they know nothing about

    All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation
    My hands are shaking from holding back from you (ah, ah, ah)
    All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting
    My hands are shaking from all this (ah, ha, ha, ha)

    Say my name and everything just stops
    I don't want you like a best friend
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Take it off
    Carve your name into my bedpost
    'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Take it off
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off

    Flashback when you met me
    Your buzzcut and my hair bleached
    Even in my worst times
    You could see the best of me
    Flashback to my mistakes
    My rebounds, my earthquakes
    Even in my worst lies
    You saw the truth in me
    And I woke up just in time
    Now I wake up by your side
    My one and only, my lifeline
    I woke up just in time
    Now I wake up by your side
    My hands shake, I can't explain this ah, ha, ha, ha

    Say my name and everything just stops
    I don't want you like a best friend
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Take it off
    Carve your name into my bedpost
    'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    Take it off

    There is an indentation in the shape of you
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off
    You made your mark on me, golden tattoo
    Only bought this dress so you could take it off Writer/s: Jack Michael Antonoff, Taylor Alison Swift
