If This Was a Movie (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night, I heard my own heart beatin'
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reachin'
Even though I know you're not there
I was playin' back a thousand memories, baby
Thinkin' 'bout everything we've been through
Maybe I've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you

[Chorus]
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you'd be here by now


[Verse 2]
I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Wrapped up in your arms and our friends are laughin'
'Cause nothing like this ever happened to them
Now I'm pacing down the hall, chasing down your street
Flashback to the night when you said to me
Nothing's gonna change, not for me and you
Back before I knew how much I had to lose

[Outro]
You'd be here by now
It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now
Baby, what about the ending?

Oh, I thought that you'd be here by now
Oh, oh
Thought you'd be here by now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song is the re-recorded version of “If This Was A Movie”, which originally appeared as a deluxe track on Taylor Swift’s third studio album, Speak Now. As a re-recording, it is featured as a track in “The More Fearless (Taylor’s Version) Chapter”.
It is worth noticing that the song was the only track on “Speak Now” not to be written entirely by Swift. Fans have speculated this might be the reason why it’s being now promoted as a Fearless single.
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” is, therefore, completely and solely written by her.
