Lyrics of
Our Song

Our Song was penned by Taylor Swift for her debut studio album. Taylor wrote the song for a high school talent show during her freshman year about a boyfriend she did not have at the time. She wanted a song that talked about her scenario of not having a personal song with someone, so she created Our Song.

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don’t have a song
And he says

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”
And when I got home before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again


I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin’ bed
I almost didn’t notice all the roses
And the note that said

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”
And when I got home before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

Da da da da

I’ve heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song

Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we’re on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it’s late and his mama don’t know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss him, and I could have”
And when I got home before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Play it again Ho yea ho yea
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
