The nostalgia that comes from 2 years ago when this album was released.

Anyways what is the single best lyric on the album? Not song, but 1-5 lines that really had an impact on you

I love:

"Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home"

"I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it" is one of my favorites, although there are many I consider better.

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it.

Came here to say this.

Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise.
So casually cruel in the name of being honest.
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well.

"I bet it never, ever occurred to you
That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye"
-I Almost Do

You call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest

The whole of State of Grace. I can't choose a single line, it's a masterpiece.

If we ignore All Too Well since it's just not fair to the other songs my favourite is second verse in Red

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
And I see your face in every crowd

Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late.

I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night.
I threw my phone across the room at you.
I was expecting some dramatic turn-away,
But you stayed.

This morning I said we should talk about it.
'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved.
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet and said "okay, let's talk."

And you got your demons and darlin they all look like me. (Or something like that)

The entirety of All Too Well and Begin Again


There's something so brilliant about the simplicity of the "but I do" structure throughout the verses, and the way it changes to reflect the different guys (Begin Again).

The first time I heard All Too Well, I literally gasped when ha scarf reappeared and "plaid-shirt days and nights," it's just so perfectly evocative of New England.

The effortless cute storytelling in Slay Slay Slay

Lemme stop before I just list the entire album tbh.

There's so many amazing lyrics on Red but my fave has to be

You call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Cause I remember it all, all, all too well
