  • Took a deep breath in the mirror
    He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do
    Turned the lock and put my headphones on
    He always said he didn't get this song but I do, I do

    Walked in expecting you'd be late
    But you got here early and you stand and wait
    I walk to you
    You pull my chair out and help me in
    And you don't know how nice that is, but I do

    And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
    I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did
    I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
    Is break and burn and end
    But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

    You said you never met one girl who
    Had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do
    We tell stories and you don't know why
    I'm coming off a little shy, but I do

    But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
    I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did
    I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
    Is break and burn and end
    But on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

    And we walk down the block to my car
    And I almost brought him up
    But you start to talk about the movies
    That your family watches
    Every single Christmas and I won't
    Talk about that
    And for the first time
    What's past is past

    'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
    I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did
    I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
    Is break and burn and end
    Then on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

    Then on a wednesday in a café I watched it begin again Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift
