Paperweight (with Schuyler Fisk)

Joshua Radin

Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what's on your mind
I've been this way with so many before
But this feels like the first time
And you want the sunrise to go back to bed
And I want to make you laugh
Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers I'm waiting
Every word you say I think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight
Happy to lay here
Just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song
Your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue
Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket
Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers I'm waiting
Every word you say I think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight
And no need to worry
That's wastin' time
And no need to wonder
What's been on my mind
It's you
It's you
It's you
Every word you say I think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight
And I give up
I let you win
You win cause I'm not counting
You made it back
To sleep again
Wonder what you're dreaming

    "just happy to be here i'm happy to know you" It's amazing when you meet someone who's presence alone can make you happy. And, take it from me, it can hurt a lot if that person walks away

    this song is love. everything about it is love, and not first high school love...but love "i've been this way with so many before but this feels like the first time" it makes you remember that one person that made you feel that way and you can't help but smile..."please leave your taste on my tongue"

    i posted the same thing on schuylers page for this song...but its currently my favorite song. i absolutely love it. the beauty of the lyrics is wonderful. its self explainatory..these two people are absolutely in love with each other...just being together makes them happy. "and no need to wonder what's been on my mind it's you it's you" i love that line...because its so true when youre in love with someone...and thats why i like this song so much-its so real.

    I love this song. It's amazing. "happy to lay here. just happy to be here. i'm happy to know you." might just be some of my favorite lyrics ever. So simple, so sweet, so beautiful.

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.
