“Taylor” is the seventh track from Ashe’s highly-anticipated debut album, Ashlyn.
The song itself is about the joys of teenage love and is an acoustic lullaby, making Ashe’s voice stand out, fitting into the vintage aesthetic of the album.

[Verse 1]
Saw myself in you, didn't know who I was
Didn't need a map, didn't think I was lost with you
But you don't stand a chance when you're young and in love
Right out of the gate, don't it all seem great?
Tried to tell my mother that it felt like fate, but she brushed it all off
And she laughed 'cause we're young, and in love
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I hate that she was right
Didn't wanna say goodbye
You loved me, I loved you too
Ooh, maybe in another life
'Cause this one wasn't right
You loved me, I loved you too, ooh, ooh, soon
[Verse 2]
Maybe we could meet when we're thirty-three
It's hard to keep a love you meet at fifteen
Thought my bеst friend was wrong when she said, "You'rе just young, not in love"
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I hate that she was right
Didn't wanna say goodbye
You loved me, I loved you too, ooh, ooh, ooh (You loved me, I loved you)
Ooh, maybe in another life
'Cause this one wasn't right
You loved me, I loved you too, ooh, ooh, soon (You loved me, I loved you)
Taylor was written by Leroy Clampitt & Adam Melchor & Ashe.
Taylor was produced by Leroy Clampitt.
Taylor was the first record that we wrote on the album, so this was like the last song that was written before sort of my entire life was changed, basically forever.

I remember this being one of the last things I said to Taylor before we bro...
