Innocent

i have a confession to make.

i absolutely LOVE Taylor Swift's new album.

not gonna lie..i have always loved her.

i remember when she wasn't very famous yet--she came to our city amphitheater and when i touched her hand, i thought i was the coolest person in the world.

anyways..

her new album is amazing.

and i don't really know what it is..

but she is a HUGE IDOL to me.

i look up to her.

and her lyrics and music

speak to me.

i have three favorite songs on her album.

i love all of them.

but my three favorite are:

1. dear john: i love john mayer's music, but i despise him as a person because of all the heartbreak he puts girls through.

2. long live: it makes me feel happy about love. (:

3. innocent.

i was listening to innocent tonight.

and whenever i feel bad about something i've done..

or am not feeling good about myself,

i listen to this song.

it makes me cry.

laugh.

and enjoy life even more.

because lately..life has been SO HARD FOR ME.

just because i'm really having trouble living in the PRESENT.

i've always been a sucker

for

not dwelling on the past

&

not looking at the future all the time.

but living in the present.

well..

here's the lyrics to her fabulous "innocent" song.

i encourage you ALL to listen to it.

it's on my blog playlist! (:

I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
There's some things you can't speak of
But tonight you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you would sing what you know now then
Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never to late to
Be brand new
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
