Sparks Fly
Taylor Swift · Speak Now World Tour Live [2011]
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
