taylor swift gets it right

forgive me for being lame but i'm going to pull one of those -- "oooh my gosh this song is SOOO me" things that we all do. It's from Taylor Swift's recent album "Speak Now" - which I shamelessly love.

One of her songs, "Last Kiss" reaaaally got to me and connected with some feelings of loss I experienced that I could not put words to for the longest time. Anyways, I've added the lyrics to the whole song here, but it's the lyrics to the chorus that got to me:

so now i'll go

sit on the floor wearing your clothes

all that i know is: i don't know

how to be something you miss

yeah you got that right Ms. Swift. she knows her heartbreak well it seems! 

Here's the song:

Before we all come to the conclusion that I'm still anchored to the past and being emo -- that's not the case. I'm appreciating a song that I connected with. (Probably would have had me in tears if I had heard it a couple of months earlier.)

enjoy!

(the lyrics below)

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go
Away?

I do recall now
The smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

And now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember
The swing in your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did

Because I love your handshake
Meetin' my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

So I watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in the weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind

So
I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
