Sparks Fly Lyrics

If you had a young daughter, would you want her to air her relationship woos and wonders to the world? Having her singing about her personal relationships for millions to hear? Yeah, I wouldn’t either. But hopefully Taylor Swift’s parents don’t mind, since that is apparently what she has done in her new much anticipated album Speak Now that comes out on Tuesday.  But since she is now twenty and an adult, does that make it all okay?

Most would say yes, she’s legally an adult and as an attractive young lady, you know she’s going to be busy with the boys. But did these boys know that they’d also become fodder for her songs? On the album there are two songs that are making news. The Story of Us and Sparks Fly.  The Story of Us apparently tells the story of Taylor bumping into an ex romantic interest backstage at an award show and awkwardness ensues. Sparks Fly is about the initial chemistry between Taylor and a suitor. Are both songs about the same person? (Many are guessing that The Story of Us is about Taylor Lautner or maybe Joe Jonas).

Want to see if you can figure it out yourself? Check out the lyrics below….you know Taylor’s parents will!

The Story of Us

I used to think that one day we’d tell the story of us,
And how we met
And how the sparks flew instantly
And people would say they’re the lucky ones

I used to know my place was the spot next to you,
Now I’m searching the room for an empty seat
Cause lately I don’t even know what page you’re on

Oh, a simple complication, Miscommunications lead to far love,
So many things I wish that you knew
So many walls that I can’t break through

Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it’s killing me?
Yeah
I don’t know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Next chapter

How did we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling of my clothes and trying to look busy
And you’re doing your best to avoid me
I’m starting to think that one day I’ll tell the story of us
Of how I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me,
Oh I’m scared to see the ending why are we pretending this is nothing
I’d tell you I miss you but I don’t know how
I’ve never heard silence quite this loud.

(Chorus)
Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it’s killing me?
Yeah
And I don’t know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battles your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you said you’d rather love then fight

So many things you wish that I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I’m standing alone in a crowded room
And we’re not speaking
And I’m dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it’s killing me?
Yeah
And I don’t know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Now, Now, Now

And were not speaking,
And I’m dying to know is it killing you like it’s killing me?
Yeah
And I don’t know what to say since a twist of fate, cause were going down.
Cause the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

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 all 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
Gonna 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
