Friday night beneath the stars
In a field behind your yard
You and I are painting pictures in the sky
Sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
Just a small-town boy and girl
Living in the crazy world
Trying to figure out what is and isn't true
And I don't try to hide my tears
My secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do
And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
When I'm with anybody else
It's so hard to be myself
And only you can tell
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
In a field behind your yard
You and I are painting pictures in the sky
Sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
Just a small-town boy and girl
Living in the crazy world
Trying to figure out what is and isn't true
And I don't try to hide my tears
My secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do
And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
When I'm with anybody else
It's so hard to be myself
And only you can tell
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

for me, she's saying that theres this one boy that she can be her total self around. she doesn't worry because he'll accept her. she doesn't want to go through life without him because he completes her.
Friday night beneath the stars

You and I are painting pictures in the sky
Sometimes we don’t say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side
And I know everything about you
I don’t want to live without you
I’m only up when you’re not down
Don’t want to fly if you’re still on the ground
It’s like no matter what I do
Well ya drive me crazy half the time
The other half I’m only trying to
Let you know that what I feel is true
And I’m only me when I’m with you
Just a small town boy and girl
Living in the crazy world
Trying to figure out what is and isn’t true
And I don’t try to hide my tears,
The secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do
And you know everything about me
You say that you can’t live without me
I’m only up when you’re not down
Don’t want to fly if you’re still on the ground
It’s like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I’m only trying to
Let you know that what I feel is true
And I’m only me when I’m with you
When I’m with anybody else
It’s so hard to be myself
Only you can say
That I’m only up when you’re not down
Don’t want to fly if you’re still on the ground
It’s like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I’m only trying to
Let you know that what I feel is true
And I’m only me
Who I want to be
Well I’m only me when
I’m with you
With you
Ooohhh yea

This song is amazing! I love it, it's by far one of my favourite songs by Taylor Swift.
It is really simple to understand the meaning to this song. It's about having this "one" person who you can be yourself with. You are able to be crazy and goofy with them. You are able to tell them anything in the world. In the song specifically, Taylor talks about a boy being that person, however it's clear that the person can be your best friend, family member, etc. If you watch the video it's pretty self explanatory and really funny. It's full of home videos of Taylor's, you see her with family and friends - also her, another girl, and Kellie Picker do the Soulja Boy dance!
