Delicate

Taylor Swift

This ain’t for the best

My reputation’s never been worse, so

You must like me for me…

We can’t make

Any promises now, can we, babe?

But you can make me a drink

Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?

Phone lights up my nightstand in the black

Come here, you can meet me in the back

Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you

Oh damn, never seen that color blue

Just think of the fun things we could do

’Cause I like you

...

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it chill that you’re in my head?

’Cause I know that it’s delicate (delicate)

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it too soon to do this yet?

’Cause I know that it’s delicate

Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Isn’t it?

Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Isn’t it?

Isn’t it... delicate?

Third floor on the West Side, me and you

Handsome, you’re a mansion with a view

Do the girls back home touch you like I do?

Long night, with your hands up in my hair

Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs

Stay here, honey, I don’t wanna share

’Cause I like you...

...

Sometimes I wonder when you sleep

Are you ever dreaming of me?

Sometimes when I look into your eyes

I pretend you’re mine, all the damn time

’Cause I like you

Is it cool that I said all that?

Is it chill that you’re in my head?

’Cause I know that it’s delicate

...

Isn’t it delicate?
