Taylor Swift - Paper Rings
[Verse 1]
The moon is high
Like your friends were the night that we first met
Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
Now I've read all of the books beside your bed
The wine is cold
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ayy)
Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night (Oh)
Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright (Uh)
Three times 'cause I waited my whole life (1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)
[Chorus]
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
"Paper Rings" is a love song about the special connection between two people who have gone from being friends to lovers. In the song, she expresses her love and commitment to her partner even though they have simple things like paper rings. She acknowledges their imperfections and difficulties, but recognizes that their relationship is worth fighting for and celebrating. She wants to create a life with her partner that is full of exciting adventures together ("I want to drive away with you") and mundane everyday moments ("I want your dreary Mondays"). The chorus expresses her promise to love and commit to them with all she has, even if it's just paper rings.
