Dark Blue Tennessee
Taylor Swift · Other Songs - Taylor Swift
In a city wouldn't you have hated that?
I'm getting by with the broken heart you left me with'
He hangs up the phone and she whispers back
'Missing you, like this is
Such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me
I'll be here
Today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee'
He was lying when he said he moved to L.A.
He's just hiding out on the othe side of town
With his head in his hands and she's just
Seven miles away
Staring out the window he puts her picture down
Saying
'Missing you, like this is
Such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me
I'll be here
Today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee'
She almost called him on the night that he won't
These simple words on his goodbye note...
'Missing you, like this is
Such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me
I'll be here
Today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee'
In dark blue Tennessee
Dark Blue Tennessee
