about
Taken from: 1989 (Jamie's Version) available on 27/10/23
Inspired by both the Taylor Swift original & Ryan Adams versions and in celebration of the release 1989 (Taylor's Version).
1989 (Jamie's Version) is both a pastiche and a love letter to my favourite pop album of the last decade and marks the beginning of a new chapter in both my musical and personal life.
lyrics
Midnight
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view,
It's been a while since I have even heard from you
And I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads, but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road,
Takes me home
The lights are off, he's taking off his coat,
I say, "I heard that you've been hangin' 'bout with some one new, some one new, someone new"
He says, "What you heard is true,
I can't stop thinkin' about you and I've been there far too many times"
'Cause you got that Moonage Daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (a tight little skirt)
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style (we never go), we never go out of style
'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, (we never go) we never go out of style
