  • He said, "Let's get out of this town
    Drive out of the city away from the crowds"
    I thought, "Heaven can't help me now"
    Nothin' lasts forever
    But this is gonna take me down

    He's so tall and handsome as hell
    He's so bad but he does it so well
    I can see the end as it begins
    My one condition is

    Say you'll remember me
    Standin' in a nice dress
    Starin' at the sunset, babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you'll see me again
    Even if it's just in your
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha

    I said, "No one has to know what we do"
    His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
    And his voice is a familiar sound
    Nothin' lasts forever
    But this is gettin' good now

    He's so tall and handsome as hell
    He's so bad but he does it so well
    And when we've had our very last kiss
    My last request is

    Say you'll remember me
    Standin' in a nice dress
    Starin' at the sunset babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you'll see me again
    Even if it's just in your
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha (ha, ha)
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha

    You'll see me in hindsight
    Tangled up with you all night
    Burnin' it down
    Someday, when you leave me
    I bet these memories
    Follow you around
    You'll see me in hindsight
    Tangled up with you all night
    Burnin' (burnin'), it (it), down (down)
    Someday, when you leave me
    I bet these memories
    Follow (follow), you (you), around (around)
    (Follow you around)

    Say you'll remember me
    Standing in a nice dress
    Starin' at the sunset, babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you'll see me again
    Even if it's just pretend

    Say you'll remember me
    Standin' in a nice dress
    Starin' at the sunset babe
    Red lips and rosy cheeks
    Say you'll see me again
    Even if it's just in your (just pretend, just pretend)
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha (ah)
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha
    Even if it's just in your
    Wildest dreams, ah, ha
    In your wildest dreams, ah, ha Writer/s: Johan Karl Schuster, Max Martin, Taylor Alison Swift
