Taylor Swift - Maroon lyrics

When the morning came we

Were cleaning incense off your

vinyl shelf ‘cause we lost track of time again

Laughing with my feet in your lap

Like you were my closest friend

“How’d we end up on the floor anyway?”

You say

“Your roommate’s cheap-ass screw top rosé, 

That’s how.”

I see you every day now

 

And I chose you

The one I was dancing with in New York

No shoes

Looked up at the sky and it was

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed your wine into 

me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet it 

was

The mark they saw on my collarbone the rust that grew

between telephones the lips I used to call home

So scarlet, it was maroon

 

When the silence came we

Were shaking blind and hazy

How the hell did we lose sight of us again?

Sobbing with your head in your hands

Ain’t that the way shit always ends 

You were standing hollow-eyed in the hallway

Carnations you had thought were roses

That’s us

I feel you no matter what

The rubies that I gave up

 

And I lost you

The one I was dancing with in New York

No shoes

Looked up at the sky and it was (maroon)

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed your wine into 

me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet it 

was (maroon)

The mark they saw on my collarbone the rust that grew 

between telephones the lips I used to call home

So scarlet, it was maroon

 

And I wake with your memory over me

That’s a real fuckin’ legacy, legacy 

And I wake with your memory over me

That’s a real fuckin’ legacy … to leave 

 

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed your wine into 

me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet it 

was (maroon)

The mark they saw on my collarbone the rust that grew 

between telephones the lips I used to call home

So scarlet it was maroon

 

It was maroon (x2)
