  • The moon is high
    Like your friends were the night that we first met
    Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
    Now I've read all of the books beside your bed

    The wine is cold
    Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
    Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
    Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe

    (Hey) Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night
    (Oh) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
    Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life
    (One, two, one, two, three, four)

    I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
    Uh huh, that's right
    Darling, you're the one I want, and
    I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
    Uh huh, that's right
    Darling, you're the one I want
    In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
    Oh, you're the one I want

    In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool
    When you jumped in first, I went in too
    I'm with you even if it makes me blue
    Which takes me back
    To the color that we painted your brother's wall
    Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws
    We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so

    (Hey) Kiss you once 'cause I know you had a long night
    (Oh) Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
    Three times 'cause you waited your whole life
    (One, two, one two three four)

    I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
    Uh huh, that's right
    Darling, you're the one I want, and
    I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
    Uh huh, that's right
    Darling, you're the one I want
    In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
    Oh, you're the one I want

    I want to drive away with you
    I want your complications too
    I want your dreary Mondays
    Wrap your arms around me, baby boy

    I want to drive away with you
    I want your complications too
    I want your dreary Mondays
    Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
    Uh huh

    I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
    Uh huh, that's right
    You're the one I want
    I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
    Uh huh
    Darling, you're the one I want

    I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
    Uh huh, that's right
    Darling, you're the one I want, and
    I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
    Uh huh, that's right
    Darling, you're the one I want
    In paper rings, in picture frames, in all dreams
    You're the one I want
    In paper rings, in picture frames, and all my dreams
    Oh, you're the one I want

    You're the one I want, one I want
    You're the one I want, one I want Writer/s: Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift
