music in the air

 

In the documentary film Muscle Shoals (2013) they touch on the idea that music comes out of the the soil, the river, landscape -- like, certain places have an energy for art.

        Recently I started listening to Taylor Swift's songs, and I was thinking, Maybe her music comes out of the clouds.

State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy

I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me

So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy

That's fine, you won't mind if I say

By the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

There's no time for tears

I'm just sitting here planning my revenge 

There's nothing stopping me

From going out with all of your best friends

And if you come around saying sorry to me

My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be

'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

And if you're missing me, you'd better keep it to yourself

'Cause coming back around here would be bad for your health

'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

In case you haven't heard, I really, really hate that

Stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn

Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn

Just another picture to burn

Baby, burn
