intro

Meet me at midnight

verse

Staring at the ceiling with you
Oh, you don′t ever say too much
And you don't really read into
My melancholia

pre-chorus

I′ve been under scrutiny (yeah, oh, yeah)
You handle it beautifully (yeah, oh, yeah)
All this shit is new to me (yeah, oh, yeah)

chorus

I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal, the 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze

verse

All they keep asking me (all they keep asking me)
Is if I'm gonna be your bride
The only kinda girl they see (only kinda girl they see)
Is a one night or a wife

pre-chorus

I find it dizzying (yeah, oh, yeah)
They′re bringing up my history (yeah, oh, yeah)
But you weren′t even listening (yeah, oh, yeah)
Ooh, whoa-oh

chorus

I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal, the 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
That lavender haze

bridge

Talk your talk and go viral
I just need this love spiral
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk (get it off my desk)
Talk your talk and go viral
I just need this love spiral
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk

chorus

I feel (I feel) the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal, I′m damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal (no deal), the 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze

outro

Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk
That lavender haze, I just wanna stay
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
Writer(s): Taylor Swift, Jack Michael Antonoff, Mark Anthony Spears, Sam Dew, Jahaan Akil Sweet, Zoe I Kravitz
Meaning
