  • There's glitter on the floor after the party
    Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
    Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
    You and me from the night before, but

    Don't read the last page
    But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you're turnin' away
    I want your midnights
    But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day

    You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
    I can tell that it's gonna be a long road
    I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe
    Or if you strike out and you're crawling home

    Don't read the last page
    But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin' mistakes
    I want your midnights
    But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day

    Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
    Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
    Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
    And I will hold on to you

    Please don't ever become a stranger
    Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
    Please don't ever become a stranger
    Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

    There's glitter on the floor after the party
    Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
    Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
    You and me forevermore

    Don't read the last page
    But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin' mistakes
    I want your midnights
    But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day

    Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
    Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
    Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
    And I will hold on to you (hold on)

    Please, don't ever become a stranger (to the memories, they will hold on to you)
    Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere (hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you)
    Please, don't ever become a stranger (hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you)
    Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere (I will hold on to you) Writer/s: Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift
