Swift wrote “Ronan” about a three-year-old boy named Ronan Thompson, who died of neuroblastoma after an eight-month battle in 2011. Ronan’s mother, Maya Thompson, who gets credit as a co-writer on the song, wrote about Ronan’s journey and the progression of his illness on a blog called Rockstar Rona...
[Verse 1]
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the Moon and back
I remember your blue eyes lookin' into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancin' before bedtime
Then jumpin' on me, waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand, little man
And even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
[Chorus]
"Come on, baby, with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years"
[Verse 2]
I remember the drive home when the blind hope
Turned to cryin' and screamin', "Why?"
Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say
About a beautiful boy who died
And it's about to be Halloween, you could be anything
You wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
And whispered in your ear
[Chorus]
"Come on, baby, with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room and this hospital gray
We'll just disappear
Come on, baby, with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years"
[Bridge]
What if I'm standin' in your closet trying to talk to you?
And what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
And what if the miracle was even gettin' one moment with you?
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Come on, baby, with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
[Outro]
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the Moon and back

Thompson shared on Twitter in August 2021:
I still can’t believe I’m not dreaming or this isn’t something I made up in my over active imagination. I honestly thought ‘Ronan’ was going to be left in someone else’s hands, but he’s not because of your heart and bravery. Thank you for keeping him safe.
In an email to Maya Thompson, Ronan’s mother and the co-writer of the song, which was released prior to the re-recording of RED, Swift wrote that:
I’ve recently completed the re-recording of my 4th album, Red. It’s really exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and one of those ways is that I tho...
