[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
When the morning came
Verse 1 to “Maroon” Lyrics by Taylor Swift
We were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf
‘Cause we lost track of time again
Laughing with my feet in your lap
Like you were my closest friend
“How’d we end up on the floor, anyway?” you say
“Your roommate’s cheap-… screw-top rosé, that’s how”
I see you every day now

[Chorus/ Bridge/ Outro: Taylor Swift]
And I chose you
Chorus to “Maroon” Lyrics by Taylor Swift
The one I was dancing with
In New York, no shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was
The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the … rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was
The mark thеy saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew bеtween telephones
The lips I used to call home
So scarlet, it was maroon
And I wake with your memory over me
Bridge to “Maroon” Lyrics by Taylor Swift
That’s a real … legacy, legacy (It was maroon)
And I wake with your memory over me
That’s a real … legacy to leave
It was maroon
Outro to “Maroon” Lyrics by Taylor Swift
It was maroon

[Verse 2]
When the silence came
Verse 2 to “Maroon” Lyrics by Taylor Swift
We were shaking, blind and hazy
How the … did we lose sight of us again?
Sobbing with your head in your hands
Ain’t that the way … always ends?
You were standing hollow-eyed in the hallway
Carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us
I feel you, no matter what
The rubies that I gave up
