Sparks Fly

Taylor Swift · Speak Now World Tour Live [2011]

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 runnin'

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



(Chorus:)

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

Gimme 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 somethin'

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



(Chorus:)

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

Gimme 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 keepin' your eyes on me

It's just wrong 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



(Chorus:)

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

Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile



And the sparks fly

Oh baby, smile

And the sparks fly
