White Dress Lyrics
She wears a white dress
She sees the light and it's saying come back
She's out the door but she hasn't left yet
And I start believing her when she says that
The city's gonna save her
Love don't leave her
I know just what she's looking for
Oh but all she knows is
A picture that keeps fading more
But I can't let it go
That's why I'm telling her
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
She wears a gold cross
She sheds her skin but it never comes off
She hears the angels out on the streets at night
As she walks right by
Oh they sing so softly they sing
Oh, love's right behind you, oh
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But they city doesn't talk
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you've got
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk, oh
Oh she floats off
Through a crowded room
She remember the rows and rows of houses
And the streetlights going home
That's why I'm telling her
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
I want to love you more
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
Oh, love's right behind you
She sees the light and it's saying come back
She's out the door but she hasn't left yet
And I start believing her when she says that
The city's gonna save her
I know just what she's looking for
Oh but all she knows is
A picture that keeps fading more
But I can't let it go
That's why I'm telling her
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
She sheds her skin but it never comes off
She hears the angels out on the streets at night
As she walks right by
Oh they sing so softly they sing
Oh, love's right behind you, oh
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But they city doesn't talk
Than all of the things you've got
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk, oh
Through a crowded room
She remember the rows and rows of houses
And the streetlights going home
That's why I'm telling her
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk
Than all of the things you wanted
Than all of the things you're not
You want to have it all
She found it in the city
But the city doesn't talk

I like to think that this song is about Taylor Swift. Here are my reasons: -Taylor and Will (the lead singer) have been friends for a while. -The 'white dress' and the 'gold cross' represent her innocence and christian faith. -The line about 'She's out the door...' is about her constant stream of boyfriends. -'She says the city's gonna save her' Taylor is always hopeful about love. -'She sheds her skin but it never comes off' She's always very put together I really hope Taylor and Will get together, he obviously is in love with her <3
I think it's not about Taylor Swift (although it may be, I'm certainly not the one who penned it) but about a girl the speaker cares about who is dead. I mean white dress and seeing the light? Sounds like the common interpretation for heaven to me.
