Snow On The Beach (feat. More Lana Del Rey) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
One night, a few moons ago
I saw flecks of what could've been lights
But it might just have been you
Passing by unbeknownst to me
Life is emotionally abusive
And time can't stop me quite like you did
And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
I'm unglued, thanks to you

[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey]
And it's like snow at the beach
Weird, but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down
No sound, it's all around

[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey, Lana Del Rey]
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow, ah, ah

See Taylor Swift Live

Get tickets as low as $56

[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey]
This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
I searched "aurora borealis green"
I've never seen someone lit from within
Blurring out my periphery
My smile is like I won a contest
And to hide that would be so dishonest
And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it
'Til you do, 'til it's true

[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey]
Now, it's like snow at the beach
Weird, but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down
No sound, it's all around

[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey, Lana Del Rey]
Like snow on the beach (Mmm)
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach (Mmm)
Like snow, ah, ah

[Bridge: Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey]
I (I) can't (Can't) speak, afraid to jinx it
I (I) don't (Don't) even dare to wish it
But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet
Now, I'm all for you like Janet
Can this be a real thing? Can it?

[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift]
Are we falling like snow at the beach? (Snow at the beach)
Weird, but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream (Flying in a dream)
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me (You wanting me)
Tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down
No sound, it's all around

[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey]
Like snow on the beach (Snow on the beach; Mmm)
Like snow on the beach (Flying in a dream)
Like snow on the beach (You wanting me; Mmm)
Like snow, ah
But it's comin' down
No sound, it's all around

[Outro: Lana Del Rey]
Like snow on the beach
Like snow, like snow, uh-huh, yeah

About

Answering to many fans and their wish for Lana Del Rey to take on a more prominent role in “Snow on the Beach,” Taylor Swift got back together in the studio with her co-star to re-record a new version of the Midnights track.

Upon its original release, “Snow on the Beach” received a mixed response among fans and critics due to the fact that Taylor didn’t give Del Rey her own verse and relegated her to only sing background vocals, which made her join a list of previous Swift collaborators (The Chicks, HAIM) that suffered the same fate.

On February 7, 2023, Lana shared on Instagram that before recording their collaboration, she had no prior knowledge of becoming the only featured artist on Midnights, and stated that she “would’ve sung the entire second verse if [she] had known.”

Announced on May 24, this “More Lana Del Rey” version of “Snow on the Beach” is included on the Til Dawn edition of Swift’s tenth studio album, issued seven months after Midnights‘ release, along with a remix of “Karma” and the arrival of “Hits Different” to streaming platforms.
