Begin Again (Taylor's Version)

Took a deep breath in the mirror

He didn't like it when I wore high heels but I do

Turn the lock and put my headphones on

He always said he didn't get this song but I do I do

I walked in expecting you'd be late

But you got here early and you stand and wave

I walk to you

You pull my chair out and help me in

And you don't know how nice that is but I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who

Had as many James Taylor records as you but I do

We tell stories and you don't know why

I'm coming off a little shy but I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block to my car

And I almost brought him up

But you start to talk about the movies

That your family watches every single Christmas

And I want to talk about that

And for the first time what's past is past

'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again
