If This Was A Movie

If This Was A Movie

Song byTaylor Swift

in AlbumSpeak Now

Last night I heard my own heart beating

Sounded like footsteps on my stairs

Six months gone and I'm still reaching

Even though I know you're not there

I was playing back a thousand memories, baby

Thinking 'bout everything we've been through

Maybe I've been going back too much lately

When time stood still and I had you

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

I know people change and these things happen

But I remember how it was back then

Wrapped up in your arms and our friends were laughing

'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

Not before I knew how much I had to lose"

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

If you're out there

If you're somewhere

If you're moving on

I've been waiting for you

Wary since you've been gone

I just want it back the way it was before

And I just wanna see you back at my front door

And I say

Come back, come back, come back to me like

You would before you said it's not that easy

Before the fight, before I locked you out

But I take it all back now

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

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 you'd be here by now, whoa

Thought you'd be here by now
