You good to go?

All I knew
This morning when I woke
Is I know something now
Know something now I didn't before
And all I've seen
Since eighteen hours ago
Is green eyes and freckles and your smile
In the back of my mind making me feel like

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"
And your eyes look like comin' home
All I know is a simple name
And everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

And all my walls
Stood tall painted blue
But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down
And open up the door for you
And all I feel
In my stomach is butterflies
The beautiful kind, makin' up for lost time
Takin' flight, makin' me feel like

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"
And your eyes look like comin' home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
And you'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feelin' like I've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

All I know is we said, "Hello"
Your eyes look like comin' home
All I know is a simple name
And everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

All I know is we said, "Hello"
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days, I'll know your face
All I know since yesterday
Is everything has changed

    My Interpretation

    i honestly do not think this song is about "reuniting" with an old friend or boyfriend. it is about meeting somebody new that she feels liek she needs to know better becuase it is all she can think about "since 18 hours ago" also when it says "feeling like i ve been missing you all this time" she means that she didnt realize she needed somebody that made her feel like that her whole life and now everything has changed and she needs him.

    I absolutely love this song. It's about seeing someone for the first time and thinking "everything has changed" Wanting to know that person better.

    Lyric Correction

    Obviously these lyrics are wrong. Here are the correct ones:

    All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before And all I've seen since 18 hours ago is green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel right I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you know you know you

    Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and i'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

    And all my walls stood tall painted blue But i'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel right I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you know you know you

    Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and i'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

    Come back and tell me why I'm feeling like i've missed you all this time And meet me there tonight And let me know that it's not all in my mind I just want to know you better know you better know you better now I just want to know you know you know you Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and i'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

    All I know is we said hello So dust off your highest hopes All I know is pouring rain And everything has changed All I know is a newfound brightness All my days, i'll know your face All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

    My Interpretation

    So, the message in her lyrics says "Hyannisport", which is where she hung out with the Kennedy's. It's definitely about Conor.

    Taylor wrote this duet with British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran whilst they were sitting on a trampoline. She recalled to MTV News: "We, for real, [were] sitting on my trampoline in my backyard cause we had been writing a song and I was like, 'Hey, I just got a trampoline. You want to see it?' And so, he brought the guitar for some reason."

    Taylor added: "We ended up writing an entire song out there. For portions of the song, [we were bouncing around] 'cause it's a trampoline and it's fun, and the combined maturity level of both of us is 8 years old."

    Though Sheeran comes from a folk background and Swift a pop-country one, the English singer-songwriter told MTV News their partnership worked as they have a lot in common. "Well, I don't really write so much with other artists," he said. "Like the Taylor session, when we got together and wrote was the second time I've ever gotten with another singer/songwriter and written a song with them. So it wasn't actually too hard of an adjustment. We're very much alike musically and it worked out well, I think."

    Ed Sheeran is one of several songwriters that Swift reached out to write with her on Red. She told Billboard magazine that the people she chose to collaborate with were ones who inspired her. "You look at someone like Ed Sheeran," she said. "He comes from such a sincere place as a writer, and his songs move you in every direction emotionally. That's something I was so inspired by I ended up calling him."

    The song was produced by Butch Walker, who once covered Swift's "You Belong With Me."

    Regarding the song's meaning, Taylor told Digital Spy: "It's about falling in love. It's about meeting someone and all of a sudden your entire perspective on the world changes - you're thinking for two, instead of one."

    Asked by The Sun how Sheeran and her originally met up, Swift replied: "We had both reached out to each other's camps at the same time. I showed up at his hotel in Arizona and we just wrote songs all day. Then he came and hung out at my house in LA and we spent all night sitting on the kitchen floor laughing, writing songs and harmonising."

    Swift first came across Sheeran when she heard one of his singles while traveling abroad. "I was in Australia when I first saw Ed Sheeran's music video for 'Lego House' and I was so blown away by his voice that I found a way to get his album, the entire album, even though it was not on sale in the U.S. yet," Swift told MTV News. "And became a huge fan."

    I heard this song in a cafe today. It resonated with me after hearing the line, "I just want to know you better know you better know you better now" because I have a crush on a guy at work (probably most awful kind of crush!) and we've only recently gone from smiles and 'hellos' to actually having a proper conversation. So it's just like... ahhh I just want to get to know him better now XD Too bad he's gone overseas for about a month. But when he gets back, hopefully we'll have more opportunities to talk :) Even if I only get a friendship out of it, that's fine.

    Probably the first Taylor Swift song I've liked!!!

    My Interpretation

    My thought of this song is that it's about falling in love. Meeting a person that you think of always and that you want to know him/her better. And when you realize that you've fallen in love, everything you know about the world changes.

    My Interpretation

    She met back with her ex after a few years. They hung out and realize that they actually have fun being with each other. Not as exes or boyfriends and girlfriends but just as friends. Their previous relationship didn't work because they were still kids. Who could blame them?;P Now everything is different.. -'Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed

    All these time, they didn't really know much about each other until they sat down together and talk. Enjoying each other's company and having mature conversations~~=pp -I just want to get to know you better.

    The realization came as they grew into maturation. It made them realize, that all these times, there were so much more inside the relationship. Now, they just want to hang out and restart over again. -Making up for lost times.=)

    "All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before And all I've seen since 18 hours ago is green eyes and freckles And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know, you know you know you"

    She wants to know him better AGAIN.

    "'Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed"

    She probably saw him again since a long time ago, and noticed that the "magic" wasn't there anymore. Probably they were big friends when they were kids and now they're like strangers.

    "And all my walls stood tall painted blue But I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you"

    He is trying to "make their relationship" grow again.

    "And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like"

    She is in love with him since they were kids. "butterflies"

    "I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now I just want to know you, know you know you"

    They want to be big friends again.

    "Come back and tell me why I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time And meet me there tonight And let me know that it's not all in my mind"

    She is in love with him. And she thinks he loves her too. So she wants to know if he does love her. "And meet me there tonight and let me know that it's not all in my mind"
