Notes About The Poem
TAYLOR SWIFT ROCKS
My Crazy Dream
My crazy dream is to begin again
back when I ran breathless in fields of green,
enchanted and well past the age of ten,
yet back when my slate of life was still quite clean.
Back when I ran breathless in fields of green,
a woman child, and not so innocent,
yet back when my life’s slate was still quite clean,
crazier I’d be, never hesitant!
A woman child, and not so innocent,
sweeter than fiction I’d make each romance.
Crazier I’d be, never hesitant.
I’d jump then fall, and always I would dance.
Sweeter than fiction I’d make each romance.
My Superman I‘d know this time around!
I’d jump then fall, and always I would dance.
Much smarter now, I’d still be safe and sound.
My superman I’d know this time around.
At men more treacherous I now would scoff.
Much smarter now, I would be safe and sound,
and every woe - I’d simply shake it off!
At men more treacherous I now would scoff.
The lucky one, I’d see life through new eyes,
And every woe - I’d simply shake it off.
Inside my wildest dreams, I could be wise.
The lucky one, I’d see life through new eyes.
Everything has changed. I want to be
inside my wildest dreams! I could be wise -
yet back when starlight still shone bright for me!
Everything has changed. I want to be
enchanted and well past the age of ten,
yet back when starlight still shone bright for me.
My crazy dream is to begin again!
