“Renegade” describes being with someone who deals with mental health issues, while expressing both sympathy and frustration for how it affects the relationship. Fans believe it may take inspiration from Swift’s relationship with Joe Alwyn, who stayed by her side through the mental health battles she...
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
I tapped on your window on your darkest night
The shape of you was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay, but I stayed anyway
And if I would've known
How many pieces you had crumbled into
I might have let them lay
[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Justin Vernon]
Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history, it’s time
You've come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody
[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Justin Vernon]
Is it insensitive for me to say
"Get your shit together so I can love you"?
Is it really your anxiety that stops you
From giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]
I tapped on your window on your darkest night
The shape of you was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay, but I stayed anyway
You fire off missiles ’cause you hate yourself
But do you know you're demolishing me?
And then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave
[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Justin Vernon]
Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history, it's time
You've come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody
[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift with Justin Vernon]
Is it insensitive for me to say
"Get your shit together so I can love you"?
Is it really your anxiety that stops you
From giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?
[Bridge: Taylor Swift]
And if I would've known
How sharp the pieces were you'd crumbled into
I might’ve let them lay
[Chorus: Taylor Swift]
Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history, it’s time
You've come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn’t be the first renegade to need somebody
[Outro: Taylor Swift, Justin Vernon]
To need somebody, to need somebody
To need somebody, to need
Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history, it's time
Is it insensitive for me to say
"Get your shit together so I can love you"?
You've come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody
Is it really your anxiety that stops you
From giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?
Renegade was written by Aaron Dessner & Taylor Swift.
Renegade was produced by Aaron Dessner.
Big Red Machine released Renegade on Fri Jul 02 2021.
I can’t believe I get to work with Aaron Dessner. When Aaron came into my life, I was ushered into his world of free-flowing creativity where you don’t overthink, you just make music. His generosity of spirit and humility bleeds into every part of his life, and that’s why so many artists have jumped...
Everytime we write a song together we both, sort of, are a little bit dumbfounded by it. Or sort of like, how is this possible? Because it feels like the shoe fits so well, somehow, and I think something about the way that I think or the way that I relate to music emotionally and then her incredible...
“Renegade” debuted at #73 on the Hot 100 during the week ending July 17, 2021.
Aaron Dessner:
We wrote “Renegade” after we finished evermore— I was really specifically writing music for Big Red Machine, and I think Taylor was, too. When she sent me “Renegade,” it was literally another bolt of electricity. Thematically, it’s this idea of the way fear and anxiety and emotional...
