1989: Perfect Fight Song 2.0

(Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York)

I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, “This is it, I’ve had enough,” ‘cause like
We hadn’t seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space
I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can’t make them stay
At least that’s what people say, mmm-mmm
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm mmm-mmm (What?!)
Oh, it’s so sad to think about the good times, you and I
(And you can want who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls)

(Hey)
So it’s gonna be forever
Or it’s gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it’s over
If the high was worth the pain
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (They’ll tell you I’m insane)
But we are never ever ever ever (Shake it off, I shake it off)
And I’ll write your name

(hey hey hey)
People like you always want back the love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you (Ah Ah)
when you say you’ve changed
“Oh my God, who is she?”
I get drunk on jealousy
But you’ll come back each time you leave (Ah Ah)
'Cause, darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream
I guess you didn’t care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
(I, I, I, I, I, I wish, I wish)
Without me, without me, without me
(I, I, I, I, I, I wish, I wish)
Woo, didn’t it all seem new and exciting?
I felt your arms twisting around me
(I, I, I, I, I, I wish, I wish)
I should have slept with one eye open at night
(I, I, I, I, I, I)
And I remember thinking… (Eh eh)

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet?
Good
I, I know places we can
(Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?)
Hide, oh oh
(Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?)
In the clear yet?
Good
Stay
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay
We are too busy dancing (Eh-eh-eh-eh)
To get knocked off our feet (Eh-eh-eh-eh)
Baby, we’re the new romantics (Eh-eh-eh-eh)
The best people in life are free (Eh in wonderland)
All you had to do was stay (Ah ah ah ah ah)
All you had to do was stay (And I’ll write your name)
Now we got problems (Oh oh)
And I don’t think we can solve them (Trouble, trouble, trouble)
(Just take me home)
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
And, baby, now we got, now we got, now we got, now we got
And, baby, now we got bad blood (Trouble, trouble, trouble)
Hey

You can hear it in the silence
Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
(You can feel it on the way home)
And I used to think that we were forever ever
(You can see it with the lights out)
And I used to say, (You’re in love)
“Never say never…”
I said, “I’ve been there, too, a few times.”
You’re in love

(Hey)
You can hear it in the silence, silence (this love, this love, this love, this love)
Anything, anything, anything (this love, this love, this love, this love)
(Hey)
You can feel it on the way home, way home (this love, this love, this love, this love)
Oh, all you had to do was stay (this love, this love, this love, this love)

(Wildest dreams ah ha)
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it (Eh eh eh)
(Wildest dreams ah ha)
And life was never worse but never better
Eh eh
'Cause we’re young and we’re reckless (And by morning)
We’ll take this way too far
Gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
It’s how it works!
And that’s how it works
It’s how you get the girl, get the girl
Oh-oh (Shake it off, I shake it off I,I,I Shake it off, I shake it off)
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet? (Welcome to New York)
Good
Wildest Dreams ah ha (Ah ah ah ah ah)
(That’s how you lost the girl)
