The lyrics are incorrect. Here is the right ones:

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 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!
