verse

If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
Ef ég vildi vita með hverjum þú varst að hanga
While I was gone I would have asked you
Á meðan ég var farinn hefði ég spurt þig
It′s the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
Það er svona kalt, þoka upp gler í framrúðu
But I felt it when I passed you
En ég fann fyrir því þegar ég gekk framhjá þér
There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me
Það er sársauki í þér sem þú setur þar af verkjum í mér
But if it′s all the same to you
En ef það er allt eins hjá þér
It's the same to me
Það er eins hjá mér

chorus

So we could call it even
So we could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
You could call me babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
"Það er fjandans árstíð, skrifaðu þetta niður
I′m stayin′ at my parents' house
Ég er heima hjá foreldrum mínum
And the road not taken looks real good now
Og vegurinn sem ekki er farinn lítur mjög vel út núna
And it always leads to you in my hometown
Og það leiðir alltaf til þín í heimabænum mínum

verse

I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
Ég lagði bílnum mínum rétt á milli Methodistsins
And thе school that used to be ours
And thе school that used to be ours
The holidays linger like bad perfume
Hátíðin situr eftir eins og slæmt ilmvatn
You can run, but only so far
Þú getur hlaupið, en aðeins svo langt
I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave
Ég slapp við það líka, manstu hvernig þú horfðir á mig fara
But if it′s okay with you, it's okay with me
But if it′s okay with you, it's okay with me

chorus

We could call it even
We could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
You could call me babe for the weekend
′Tis the damn season, write this down
"Það er fjandans árstíð, skrifaðu þetta niður
I'm stayin′ at my parents' house
Ég er heima hjá foreldrum mínum
And the road not taken looks real good now
Og vegurinn sem ekki er farinn lítur mjög vel út núna
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Tíminn flýgur, sóðalegur eins og leðjan á vörubíldekkjunum þínum
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
Nú sakna ég brossins þíns, heyrðu í mér
We could just ride around
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
Og vegurinn sem ekki er farinn lítur mjög vel út núna
And it always leads to you in my hometown
Og það leiðir alltaf til þín í heimabænum mínum

verse

Sleep in half the day just for old times′ sake
Sofðu hálfan daginn bara fyrir gamla tíma sakir
I won′t ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
Ég mun ekki biðja þig um að bíða ef þú biður mig ekki um að vera
So I′ll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
Svo ég fer aftur til LA og svokallaðra vina
Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it
Hver mun skrifa bækur um mig, ef ég næ því einhvern tíma
And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I′m fakin'
Og velta fyrir mér einu sálinni sem getur sagt hvaða bros ég er að falsa
And the heart I know I′m breakin' is my own
Og hjartað sem ég veit að ég er að brjóta er mitt eigið

bridge

To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
Að yfirgefa heitasta rúmið sem ég hef kynnst
We could call it even
We could call it even

verse

Even though I′m leavin′
Jafnvel þó ég sé að fara
And I'll be yours for the weekend
And I'll be yours for the weekend
′Tis the damn season
'Það er fjandans árstíð

chorus

We could call it even
We could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
You could call me babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
"Það er fjandans árstíð, skrifaðu þetta niður
I′m stayin' at my parents′ house
Ég er heima hjá foreldrum mínum
And the road not taken looks real good now
Og vegurinn sem ekki er farinn lítur mjög vel út núna
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Tíminn flýgur, sóðalegur eins og leðjan á vörubíldekkjunum þínum
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
Nú sakna ég brossins þíns, heyrðu í mér
We could just ride around
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
Og vegurinn sem ekki er farinn lítur mjög vel út núna
And it always leads to you in my hometown
Og það leiðir alltaf til þín í heimabænum mínum

outro

It always leads to you in my hometown
Það leiðir alltaf til þín í heimabænum mínum
Writer(s): Aaron Brooking Dessner, Taylor A. Swift
