I prefer to buy the standard on iTunes and just buy the deluxe tracks individually but whenever I pre-order the std new tracks can't be purchased. It's just so messy I revert back to the deluxe
State of Grace: I'm walking fast through the traffic lights, busy streets and busy lives
Welcome to New York: Walking through a crowd the village is aglow, kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
State of Grace: We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts
Welcome to New York: Took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer
She just posted the official lyrics on her Tumblr page:

Welcome To New York
Written by Taylor Swift and Ryan Tedder
Produced by Ryan Tedder
Walking through a crowd
The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats
Under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn’t heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It’s a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It’s been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
When we first dropped our bags
On apartment floors
Took our broken hearts
Put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls
Chorus
Like any great love
It keeps you guessing
Like any real love
It’s ever changing
Like any true love
It drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn’t change
Anything, anything, anything…

The lyrical parallels are so obvious, and yet it doesn't feel like she's just writing the same thing twice.

The production in the beginning was promising but fell short throughout the song
It's because the song never really reaches a climax, which is unusual for Taylor's music.

Do you guys think this has been the worst week of Lord's life?
First GU/TroubleSwift figuring out the track list and posting it on Wiki, then WTNY leaking a few hour early. Her whole world must be crashing down around Her.
