Peace

Taylor Swift

Our coming of age has come and gone

Suddenly this summer it’s clear

I never had the courage of my convictions

As long as danger is near

And it’s just around the corner, darlin’

’Cause it lives in me

No, I could never give you peace

But I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm

If your cascade ocean wave blues come

All these people think love’s for show

But I would die for you in secret

The devil’s in the details

But you got a friend in me

Would it be enough

If I could never give you peace?

Your integrity makes me seem small

You paint dreamscapes on the wall

I talk shit with my friends

It’s like I’m wastin’ your honor

And you know that I’d

Swing with you for the fences

Sit with you in the trenches

Give you my wild, give you a child

Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other

Family that I chose now that I see your brother as my brother

Is it enough?

But there’s robbers to the east

Clowns to the West

I’d give you my sunshine

Give you my best

But the rain is always gonna come

If you’re standing with me

But I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm

If your cascade ocean wave blues come

All these people think love’s for show

But I would die for you in secret

The devil’s in the details

But you got a friend in me

Would it be enough

If I could never give you peace?

Would it be enough

If I could never give you peace?

Background

“Peace” is a track on Taylor Swift’s 2020 album “Folklore.” The song talks about being there for her lover all the time, sometimes which would be conceived as violating his “peace.” She mentions that she would rather be happy in secret than have her personal life publicized all over the media.
