the 1 Lyrics » Taylor Swift
[Verse 1]
I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit
Been saying “yes” instead of “no”
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn’t though
I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know the greatest films of all time were never made
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you never know, never know
And if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed
And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow
And it’s alright now
[Chorus]
But we were something, don’t you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would’ve been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would’ve been fun
If you would’ve been the one
(Ooh)
[Verse 2]
I have this dream you’re doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

FAQs About the 1
What have the artist said about this song?
On a conversation with
Aron Dessener
for
folklore: the long pond studio sessions
, they said this:
Aron:
It was funny because I feel like you captured the spirit of the whole record with that song. With “the 1” in the sense of, just the way it opens, “i’m doing good, i’m on some new shit, been saying yes instead of no”, and i was like “is she talking about writing songs with me and everything else at the same time or something?”
Taylor:
I think it has a double meaning. Opening the album with those words, it applies to the situation that the song is written about, where you’re updating a former lover on what your life is like now and trying to be positive about it. But it was also where I am creatively, where it’s, like, “i’m just saying yes, I’m just putting an album out in the worst time you could put one out, i’m just making stuff with someone who i always wanted to make stuff with as long as I’ve been a fan of
The National
, i’m just gonna say yes to stuff, and it worked out.
