“I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car. He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel. The other on my heart. I look around, turn the radio down. He says, baby is something wrong? I say, nothing. I was just thinking how we don’t have a song. And he says, our song is the slamming screen door, sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window. When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow ‘cause it’s late and your mama don’t know. Our song is the way you laugh. The first date, man, I didn’t kiss her, when I should have. And when I got home before I said, amen, asking God if he could play it again.”

— Our Song by Taylor Swift

“My winter nights are taken up by static, stress, and holiday shopping traffic. But I close my eyes, and I’m somewhere else, just like magic. In my heart is a Christmas tree farm where the people would come to dance under sparkles and lights. Bundled up in their mittens and coats and the cider would flow. And I just want to be there tonight. Sweet dreams of holly and ribbons. Mistakes are forgiven. And everything is icy and blue. And you would be there too. Under the mistletoe, watching the fire glow and telling me, I love you. Just being in your arms takes me back to that little farm, where every wish comes true.”
