“Message In A Bottle (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]” is Swift’s admission of fascination and admiration for a new potential lover. Although frightening, this new infatuation carries with it hopes of being true love. The song seems to be connected thematically to “Come Back… Be Here,” which talk...
[Verse 1]
I know that you like me
And it's kinda frightenin' standin' here waitin', waitin'
And I became hypnotized
By freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied
[Pre-Chorus]
But now, you're so far away and I'm down
Feelin' like a face in the crowd
I'm reachin' for you, terrified
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep, and I
I could be the reason you can't sleep at night
A mеssage in a bottle is all I can do
Standin' herе, hopin' it gets to you
[Verse 2]
These days I'm restless
Workdays are endless, look how you made me, made me
But time moves faster
Replayin' your laughter, disaster
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause now, you're so far away and I'm down
Feelin' like a face in the crowd
I'm reachin' for you, terrified, 'cause
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you (It gets to you)
You could be the one that I keep, and I (Ah)
I could be the reason you can't sleep at night (At)
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you
[Bridge]
How is it in London? (London)
Where were you while I'm wonderin' (Wonderin')
If I'll ever see you again?
You could be the one that I love, mm-mm
And now I'm standin' here, hopin' it gets to you
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be the one that I love (Yeah, yeah)
I could be the one that you dream of (Of)
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you (It gets to you)
You could be the one that I keep, and I
I could be the reason you can't sleep at night (I can't sleep at night)
A message in a bottle is all I can do (Yeah, yeah)
Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
(Love) You could be the one that I love
(Love) You could be the one that I love
(Love) My love
And now I'm standin' here, hopin' this gets to you
