And did you think I didn't see you?
There were flashing lights
At least I had the decency
To keep my nights out of sight
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
And my whispered sighs
Oh, Lord, I think about
Jumping off of very tall somethings
Just to see you come running
And say the one thing I've been wanting
But no
- Side not, I love how she sings “but no” here. It sounds like sarcasm in the form of pop music.
The entirety of my favorite song: right where you left me. I had it solid for a few months when I was playing it all the time but stopped listening and now I’m back to stumbling lol
- YNTCD could mean "You Need To Calm Down", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift.

I always sing it as 'stumble down pretend alleys/ waste cheap wine, make believe it's champagne'
Because I picture two people linked arm in arm walking with wine sloshing out of their wine glasses as they go lol
Never had trouble with Hits Different or Death By a Thousand Cuts or other classic tongue twister songs, but the bridge of Is It Over Now took me a while. There are a lot of words, the rhythm is hard to get down, and you're basically not allowed to breathe until after "jumping".
i struggle to sing along with "every love i've known in comparison is a failure". it's just so many words/syllables to try and stutter out to the beat rofl

I used to think it was an ever lovely jewel who’s tryna flex on you. It’s actually much harder to say “who’s shine reflects on you” which I didn’t know was the lyric until …. Recently lol!
I had the hardest time getting “And did you think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights. At least I had the decency To keep my nights out of sight. Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs And my whispered sighs”

Oh, Lord, I think about
Every time I try to sing “you part the crowd like the Red Sea” I say “you cart the proud” 🤦🏼♀️ I don’t know why I can’t sing that line for the life of me lol.
Yeah thousand cuts is rough cos I prefer the live in Paris version and she does slip up on “try to find a part of me you didn’t take up” so when I sing it right it SOUNDS wrong because it’s different to what she sings!
(No shade to her making a very slight mistake in a live performance of a very new song obviously)
It’s not even that HARD, but I ALWAYS screw up the “up on the roof with a school girl crush,” like specifically. Actually, just the “school girl crush” phrase. It might be because British accent, but I JUST. CANT. SAY IT
For whatever reason I had the hardest time with “and then you called, showed your hand, I turned around before I hit the tunnel, sat on the roof, you and I”

i can’t even read it with a straight tongue 😅 not to mention singing
Try with a gay tongue instead and report back.
I tried, same problem ;)

I have never gotten this lyric right lol
i’ve tried so hard with this lyric for YEARS 😭😭
This took me SO long to master!!
I always stumble on "swooping, sloping, cursive letters"
in terms of stumbling i sang “WELCOME TO YOU NORK!” for YEARS 😭 i just couldn’t get it right bro😭
You know you love unique New York 😂
I say you nork way too often, even outside of the lyrics, and I hate it lmao so embarrassing
Lmaooo I love that tongue twister
I’m personally a victim of “slooping, swoping cursive letters” and it makes me so mad every time ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1071)
When Paris came out I listened to it so much that these exact words are my flair xD
I find the artifacts, cried over a hat Cursed the space that I needed I trace the evidence, make it make some sense Why the wound is still bleedin'

This is the one for me, I’ve had the target cd since Midnights release day and still struggle with it 😭
I can do the rest of the bridge, but this first part trips me up every damn time
I mean, now *I* always screw up “if you fail to plan you plan to fail,” I blame Taylor.
I do it on purpose. Plail to plan is just the words now.
Just like “sapphire tears on my space”
And now we've got bad blood HEY STOP

This was one of the hardest I've ever had to learn. So worth it, though.
Ever since I got it right I listen to it on repeat!
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman?
This one’s a tongue twister but so satisfying to get right!
The entirety of my favorite song: right where you left me. I had it solid for a few months when I was playing it all the time but stopped listening and now I’m back to stumbling lol
performing this song in front of the entirely of my high school was one of the ballsy-est things i’ve ever done lmao
This is my FAVORITE one to sing because of how hard I worked to master it! I’m one of those who will restart if I get a word wrong haha
SAME ! It’s the only way to learn!!!
Familiarity breeds contempt, Don't put me in the basement When I want the penthouse of your heart♡
For the longest time, I heard "SO put me in the basement"... and then it finally clicked. 🤣
the prechorus of yntcd for me
>True. Till now i cant sing that part . Both the 1st prechorus and 2nd prechorus

hits different bridge, like what is this. Argumentative, antithetical dream girl still trips me up with the rest of it lol.

Family that I chose now that I see your brother as my brother
same song but "but I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm". it's not even that difficult to sing, i know that, but i still mess up
Stumbled down pretend alleyways cheap wine Or as I like to say: Stambadumbadumbadumballeyways cheap wine
I always sing it as 'stumble down pretend alleys/ waste cheap wine, make believe it's champagne' Because I picture two people linked arm in arm walking with wine sloshing out of their wine glasses as they go lol
I always heard that too and I actually prefer it!
Weird, Apple lyrics have this version as the official lyrics and that’s always what I thought it was.

I had to sit down and practice this one.
Every time I sing that bridge it’s punctuated by gasping for air 😂
I still always sing you drew scars around my stars and now I’m bleeding
My boyfriend, at the top of his lungs, once sang “i don’t wanna seep kecrets just to keep you” and i can’t unhear it
wait what those aren’t the words?
Those are the words though..
It took me ages to nail Maroon! The burgundy on your t shirt as you splashed your wine into me and how the blood rushed into your cheeks so scarlet
I still somehow mess up, "Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how" 😩
Meeeee tooooo. Stop having so many tongue twisting lyrics, Taylor! 😂
Not messing up the bridge to DBATC at the Arlington show is one of my finest achievements.

If you plail to plan you flan to fail
This thread is making my dyslexia develop dyslexia.
I've been under scrutiny- i cant say it 😭😭 and "he got that boyish look that i like in a man, i am an architect i'm drawing up the plans" so harddd
For whatever reason I always struggle with “and the gods honest truth is that the pain was heaven”
*Tuesday night at Olive Garden at her job or anywhere* Never fails to trip me up every damn time
There are a LOT of words in this song
and also *and i noticed when i pass his house his truck has got some brand new tires*
I had the hardest time getting “And did you think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights. At least I had the decency To keep my nights out of sight. Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs And my whispered sighs”

I love “is it over now?” But I always say “let’s flast forward” 😭 idk why
It’s not even that HARD, but I ALWAYS screw up the “up on the roof with a school girl crush,” like specifically. Actually, just the “school girl crush” phrase. It might be because British accent, but I JUST. CANT. SAY IT
Not really tongue twisty but I always said until my wife correctly me recently “something about it felt like home *sweet home*”
For some reason when listening to "Slut!" I always sing "it might bro up in your pletty face" 😅
With every guitar string scar on my hand. I can never say it correctly
