Stretch past the edge and now I feel like breaking
My back against the wall
There's little left and nothing's here to faze me
Still summer fades to fall
When the meaning feels so far from healing
It's still my one cure-all

Still
Dreams collide where words can't describe
All the distance waiting outside
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine

So
Stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine

Let's paint the town a thousand conversations
So many names to know
Drift through the crowd and take my hand to go now I've got to let you know
A thousand lights shine in the valley below
We're still a brightest star
My brightest star

Still
Dreams collide where words can't describe
All the distance waiting outside
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine

So
Stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine

Don't you love the way
A little quiet solves everything
When you can't help wondering
How's it gonna be?

Stretch past the edge and now I feel like breaking
With my back against the wall
There's little left and nothing's here to faze me
Still summer fades to fall
When the meaning feels so far from healing
It's still my one cure-all
My one cure-all

Still (dreams collide)
Dreams collide where words can't describe (can't describe)
All the distance waiting outside (outside)
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine

So (stay with me)
Stay with me where whispers suffice (whispers)
To say all the secrets we hide (we hide)
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it?
We'll let our light shine

So
Stay with me where whispers suffice
To say all the secrets we hide
Will we burn that bridge when we come to it
We'll let our light shine

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
