Sparks Fly Lyrics

The way you move
Is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby
And I fall in love in an empty bar

And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well, I don't need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby
Bring on the movie star

'Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful
I could wait patiently, but
I really wish you would

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Keep your beautiful eyes on me
Let's strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

Cover art for Sparks Fly lyrics by Taylor Swift

I think this is about a one-night stand that she wished would have developed into a longer relationship. A night that she will never forget, and a guy that will haunt her with his unforgettable presence. And it's like she wants him so bad (you can hear it in how she sings), but she knows she probably won't get him forever. So she's savoring every moment, all the while wanting more, wanting him to take away all the pain that's making her ache. She's excited about the sparks that fly in between them, intoxicated by him and everything he does.

It's a very catchy and lovely song.

Yep.

Yeah its like what u think

Speak Now album version:

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm And I'm a house of cards You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running But I kinda know that I won’t get far

And you stood there in front of me Just close enough to touch Close enough to hope you couldn't see What I was thinking of

Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause' I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

My mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea You touch me once and it’s really something You find I’m even better than you imagined I would be I’m on my guard for the rest of the world But with you I know it’s no good And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would

Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair And watch the lights go wild Just keep on keeping your eyes on me It’s just strong enough to make it feel right And lead me up the staircase Won't you whisper soft and slow I’m captivated by you baby Like a fireworks show

Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

this is the version I hear and I like it alot better then the lyrics that are up. =)

It's almost like she knows that this relationship won't work and she's just trying to take in every moment

I really wish she wouldn't have changed this for the album.

Agreed. But at least it got recorded! :)

I love this song. I think its about a girl who feels a deep connection with someone she justs meets. She wants him to confess his feelings to her."Drop everything now, Meet me in the pouring rain, Kiss me on the sidewalk, Take away the pain." She means take the pain away from them not being together. She wants him to come sweep her off her feet.

Cover art for Sparks Fly lyrics by Taylor Swift

This song means that she met a guy that totally blew her mind. He was the kind of guy that she knew that she shouldn't be with, but she couldn't help but fall for him. He was the guy that he would kiss her and tell her goodnight and she would miss him the minute that he left her side. He had a smile that just melted her heart and when he looked at her it was as if no one else in the world exsisted.

My Interpretation

so the way i know this song is the one that has the line "My mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea" and thats for sure my favorite part. I can really relate to it. Sometimes theres that guy who just makes you think that youve finally found the one thats "different" from the rest. To me this song is about that feeling. Its about that guy who puts butterflies in your stomach and a goofy smile on your face. Its about the guy that says all the right things at all the right times. The guy who makes you feel special and beautiful and irreplaceable. Its about how at the end of even the worst of days just having that boy in your life makes everything okay. Its like your best dream comming true.

I think this is about how a boy totally blows her mind. She is totally attracted to him and wants him to feel the same way. She can't get him out of her head. It could be at their prom maybe, at least they're dancing somewhere..

this is taylor's best song.

Cover art for Sparks Fly lyrics by Taylor Swift

I remember this song from the Taylor Swift show I went to three years ago. I loved that original version, and I kept waiting for it to be on an upcoming album. I was very excited to hear it when I played "Speak Now" for the first time yesterday.

I interpret the song as being about a girl who goes out for an evening by herself, perhaps because she's feeling down about something in her life, and meets this guy by accident. She can't help being attracted to him, even though she can tell getting involved with him will probably wind up being a bad idea in the end, and she desperately wants him to feel for her what she is feeling for him. She wants to lose herself in the moment, wants him to make her forget everything that's going wrong, even if for just one night.
