The Middle Of The Light (Taylor Swift, Wayne Warner)
I found this song co-written by Taylor Swift and Wayne Warner in August 2005. He talks about writing it in his book Backstage Nashville. She also appeared in his music video for "God Bless The Children" in February 2006.
Lyrics:
Life’s up, life’s down
That’s the song it sings
And the thunderin’
And the troubled clouds
Your love reached out
And took me in
A candle in the wind
It won’t burn out
See, the time that you understand
My world is well when I hold your hand
In the middle of the light
Oh, you take me there
Like an answered prayer
In the darkness of the night
In the middle of the light
Drown away our cares
With the love we share
In the river of your life
We’ll live in rain ‘till sun shines through
‘Cause I’m with you
I’m in the middle
Yeah, the middle of the light
Your embrace
That’s the place that I wanna go
When my world gets cold
You make it bright
And your face
That’s the place where heaven shows
It takes us both
It makes it right
Since I’ve met you I understand
My world is well when I hold your hand
In the middle of the light
Oh, you take me there
Like an answered prayer
In the darkness of the night
In the middle of the light
Drown away our cares
With the love we share
In the river of your life
We’ll live in rain ‘till sun shines through
‘Cause I’m with you
I’m in the middle
Yeah, the middle of the light
In the middle of the light
Oh, you take me there
Like an answered prayer
In the darkness of the night
In the middle of the light
Drown away our cares
With the love we share
In the river of your life
We’ll live in rain ‘till sun shines through
‘Cause I’m with you
I’m in the middle
Yeah, the middle of the light

Your Heart's Somewhere Else (2003) - Taylor Swift
I used to know everything you were thinking
But now I just know you’re thinking ‘bout someone else but me
I count the days, I count the words you say
I need to know you’re alive and hoping I’ll be by your side
Can’t help but think that I’m driving you away
Don’t let me think it’s real, don’t make me think you’ll stay
I don’t know if you’re with me
I know you’re standing here
I always turn around just to know you’re there
And I deny it
Here, I’m crying
It’s hard to tell myself
Your heart’s somewhere else
I see you now, I don’t see happiness
Don’t want to hold you back but I still want you for myself
You look around, do you like the things you see?
You’re in a cage but I can’t stand to let you free
I can’t help but know that I’m driving you away
Don’t let me think your love won’t someday go away
I don’t know if you’re with me
I know you’re standing here
Sometimes I turn around to see if you’re still there
And I deny it
Here inside, I’m crying
It’s hard to tell myself
Your heart’s somewhere else
I never thought your eyes would lose their happiness
I know the longer you stay, the more you love me less
I don’t know if you’re with me
I know you’re standing here
I always turn around just to know you’re there
And I deny it
I am crying
It’s hard to tell myself
Your heart’s somewhere else
Your heart’s somewhere else
Your heart’s somewhere else

Beautiful Days (2003) - Taylor Swift
Link to song
A moment just passed
And I know it’s hard to believe, but it could have been something
And I could have smiled your way
Maybe you’d see there’s something in me that loves you
I’ve been waiting for that sweet second that never was
That period of time, that vision in my mind
That feeling of melting into you
The time I could’ve lived it, but I didn’t take a chance
Keep it on your mind, you’ll always like to dance
Living like you love it, you love it just the same
‘Cause life is made up of those moments
That you let slip away
Life is just beautiful, beautiful days
What if I hadn’t turned around?
And I’d kept walking, and looked through your starry eyes
Well, I would have known it then
Instead of just waiting to find out if I love you
I’ve been waiting for that sweet second that never was
That period of time, that vision in my mind
That feeling of melting into you
The time I could’ve lived it, but I didn’t take the chance
Keep it on your mind, you’ll always like to dance
Living like you love it, you love it just the same
Well, life is made up of those moments
That you let slip away
Life is just beautiful, beautiful days
Will you love me when tomorrow comes?
It’s just another Monday, baby won’t you come with me?
And see me in a different light?
I could be your angel if you want to take a chance
Baby, if you knew me, you’d know I’ll always dance
Love me like you need me, and I’ll be yours, true
All that matters to me is you, babe
You’re never gonna slip away
Life is just beautiful, life is just beautiful
Life is just beautiful, beautiful days
Beautiful days
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful days

Half-Way To Texas (2003) - Taylor Swift
When I got mad at you, I always said I’d move to Texas
As a crazy little girl, what was I supposed to do?
And I’m still crazy and I guess I haven’t gotten much better
You’re getting complicated, so I’ll hit the road for someplace new
Well, I’m halfway to Texas, enjoying this roadside view
Just clearing my head, trying not to think back on you
And I’m trying to be strong
Maybe this whole thing is wrong
So I’ll focus on the winding road leading to Texas
The wind in my hair is reminding me of the way you held me
Back home is far, I won’t give up just yet
Right now you’ll probably call wondering what I’m doing
And a voice in the wind will tell you I’m a long time gone
Well I’m halfway to Texas, kinda thinking back on you
There’s a thought in my head saying my best option is you
And I hope I can stay strong
I’m starting to think this is wrong
I’ll just focus on the winding road leading to Texas
I’ve stopped the car, all I can think of is you
Maybe you were right, now I know how much I love you
I’m halfway to Texas, I’m turned around ‘cause I love you
I’m coming back to you darling, wanna spend my life with you
And I know I have this wrong
I’ve stayed away from you this long
I’m taking you with me next time I go to Texas
I’m taking you with me next time I go to Texas

Smokey Black Nights (acoustic and mix) (2003) - Taylor Swift
Let's watch the tide chase the waves onto the sand
I wonder if a broken heart can feel the warmth of my hand
And I wonder what a piece of driftwood has seen all through his lifetime
Let's walk away the past through the smokey black nights
I've seen a million things
Spoke a million words
Now I only want to speak to you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
There's nothing I'd rather do
On the smokey black nights
Still through the haze I can make out constellations
I'll make one of you and me as we sit in the sand
And I saw that sunset gleaming as my eyes went wild
Let's walk away the past through the smokey black nights
I've played a thousand songs
Sang a thousand words
Now I only want to sing to you
Waited on a wire
Staring at the fire
There's nothing I'd rather do
On the smokey black nights
Yeah, I've walked a thousand miles
Smiled a thousand smiles
Now I only smile when I'm with you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
There's nothing I'd rather do
On the smokey black nights
So walk with me as the sweet wind dances
I'll write a song for you and me on the smokey black nights

Ride On (2003) - Taylor Swift
Think of an angel tonight
Think of something, my baby
‘Cause everyone needs something to believe in
Somebody’s watching you tonight
You’ll never know it now
But you’re that one that they can’t live, live without
As far as we know, we only live once
And this could be your masterpiece
And you never know what lies ahead
Life is made of falling down and getting back up again
The sun falls down every night and gets back up at dawn
Ride on
And think of beginnings tonight
Believe in so much more than you can ever try to imagine
And look at the sunset tonight
Believe in something that’s greater than your tiny world
Or broken heart
As far as we know, we only live once
And this could be your masterpiece
And you never know what lies ahead
Life is made of falling down and getting back up again
The sun falls down every night and gets back up at dawn
Ride on
Some people waste it all looking for heaven
Maybe there’s heaven, but what if
What if this is that heaven we’re waiting for?
Buddy, you don’t know
You’ll never know
Baby, I’m watching you tonight
You never saw it before
But you’re that one that I can’t live without
And I could go with you tonight
But love is a one-sided street
Don’t know and I’m not brave enough to find out
As far as we know, we only live once
And this could be your masterpiece
And you never know what lies ahead
Life is made of falling down and getting back up again
The sun falls down every night and gets back up at dawn
Ride on

One-Sided Goodbye (2003) - Taylor Swift
You said it, then you walked away
But you don’t know what goodbye means
Baby, I’m sorry, didn’t ever mean to hurt you
Please save it for a rainy day
‘Cause you don’t know what crying’s like
When the world keeps spinning and I can’t take it alone
And you’re so different from all those other people
I thought it would be different with you
But I can’t see you crying without me
So I guess I’ll have to make it through without you
I wasn’t ready for your one-sided goodbye
You walked around like you loved me, I
Notice how the world tries to mask that word
“See you later,” “gotta go,” oh no
I don’t care what they would say
If you love someone don’t let them go
Do you believe in taking chances?
So tell me why you walked away
‘Cause I can’t see through your heart
Everything’s hazy and you’re making me crazy for you
Well, I thought you were different
Maybe I’m crazy
I know I wasn’t numb with you
But I can’t hear you crying without me
So I guess I’ll have to make it through without you
I wasn’t ready for your one-sided goodbye
You walked around like you loved me, I
Notice how the world tries to mask that word
“See you later,” “gotta go”
Why can’t you see, why can’t you be
Madly in love with me, too?
Past emotion, but you’ve already spoken
I guess I’ll have to make it through without you

A Little More Like You (2003) - Taylor Swift
Think of something you can’t touch
I see angels start to blush when they look at you
When I went to my guitar to write this song I fell apart
‘Cause I’m counting every second like time in a jar
And these words are just words, that’s not what you are
Would you rather me say what I really mean?
I love you but it won’t get through if I try too hard
Honestly, what I really mean
Is I want to be a little more like you
Drag a pen across a page
Take a look at what you made- you made me, me
Turn around and watch me live
Learn again that to forgive is to believe
And to thank is to bless
I’m drawing the curtain, ‘cause now I’ve been blessed
Would you rather me say what I really mean?
I love you but it won’t get through if I try too hard
Honestly, what I really mean
Is I want to be a little more like you
Yeah, I want to be a little more like you
There seems to be something I can’t see
That keeps you from falling apart
It’s safe to say you’re far away
And anybody else, oh anybody else
Would you rather me say what I really mean?
I love you but it won’t get through if I try too hard
Honestly, what I really mean
Is I want to be a little more like you
Yeah, I want to be a little more like you, like you
Yeah, I want to be a little more like you

Why Do You Tell Me? (2003) - Taylor Swift
I tried to impress you
It didn’t matter to you, I don’t matter to you
But you tried to make me think I was crazy
“Put all these dreams on hold,” that’s what I was being told
Tugging at my heartstrings
Every little part sings, “Ooh, you’re gonna bring me down”
But I don’t need to know what you don’t need to show
Well I don’t wanna go down
So why do you tell me you believe in heaven?
Then you get me where it hurts just when I turned around
And I try to fight this hole inside, it’s tearing me to pieces
Why do you tell me you believe in me?
You believe in me
It hurts so bad to hear you say it
Did I really go so wrong? Tell me now, what’s going on?
Hearts fall like a broken angel
Did you mean to break me down every time I turn around?
Tugging at my heartstrings
Every little part sings, “Ooh, you’re gonna bring me down”
But I don’t need to know what you don’t need to show
Well I don’t wanna go down
So why do you tell me you believe in heaven?
Then you get me where it hurts just when I turned around
And I try to fight this hole inside, it’s tearing me to pieces
Why do you tell me you believe in me?
You believe in me
Why do you tell me you believe in heaven?
Then you get me where it hurts just when I turned around
And I try to fight this hole inside, it’s tearing me to pieces
Why do you tell me you believe in me?
You believe in me

Houston Rodeo (2003) - Taylor Swift
Shooting star flew across the sky
A light turned on in the barn
Nine-year-old boy and a stream of joy
Just sitting there trying to keep warm
A soon-to-be-mama quarter horse
Looked up at the sky
Then came a foal and he set a goal
Then tears came to his eyes
Little boys, they dream big dreams
And some just might come true
And if he rides, that young foal's strides
Are bound to take him to...
He's going to the Houston rodeo
Ooh, on that horse you ride
Put on his daddy's cowboy hat
With a little Texas town pride
Houston rodeo
Every night, that boy would ride on that horse in moonlight
Black and white, he was a bumpy ride
But that boy was gonna make him right
Through heat and snow, they rode and rode
Soon they were best friends
By light of dawn, they were always gone
Following trails that never end
Little boys, they dream big dreams
And some, they have to come true
If he rides that yearling's strides
Are bound to take him to...
He's going to the Houston rodeo
Ooh, on that horse he'll ride
Put on his daddy's cowboy hat
With a little Texas town pride
Houston rodeo
And when he was eighteen
Made it to the rodeo
And as the gate released
He took on the Houston rodeo
He's going to the Houston rodeo
Ooh, on that horse he'll ride
Put on his daddy's cowboy hat
With a little Texas town pride
Oh that boy, he's gonna ride
Houston rodeo, oh

Point Of View (2003) - Taylor Swift
Time is passing slowly for the eight-year-old next door
But mama's watch is ticking off the wall
Jillian and Bobby think that they're a perfect pair
The girls could say he's just a bit too tall
You don't have to do to win big
You just have to think it
Some folks say the glass is half full
Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side ain't far away
But I say that old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesn't stay
Some say, "I love you"
Some say love needs proof
It's all in your point of view
He hated pink, so she threw out her favorite clothes
His NFL was turned to TLC
Baby's got an attitude and thinks they just don't know
But they all do and wish that she could see
You don't have to do to win big
You just have to think it
Some folks say the glass is half full
Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side ain't far away
But I say that old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesn't stay
Some say, "I love you"
Some say love needs proof
It's all in your point of view
In the least, a masterpiece
Depends on one's opinion
Worst of all, they never call
But don't think that they weren't wishing
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side ain't far away
But I say that old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesn't stay
Some say, "I love you"
Some say love needs proof
It's all in your point of view
It's all in your point of view
Point of view
It's all in your point of view

Lucky You (acoustic and mix) (2003) - Taylor Swift
There's a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around
"Live forever. Never say never
You can do better," that's what she says
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit’s foot in her pocket
She dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says
"Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do"
Lucky you
Lucky you
She sings her little song, she walks along
A little pathway headed for the skies
Left to travels, lives they unravel
"Mind over matter," that's what she says
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit’s foot in her pocket
She dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says
"Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do"
Lucky you
Lucky you
Lucky you
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Maybe she'll sing you "Do do do do"
Maybe she'll bring you up to the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you ain't so far away
Her mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit’s foot in her pocket
She dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says
"Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do"
Lucky you
Lucky you

I Used To Fly (2003) - Taylor Swift
I… I used to fly
Didn't matter where I'd been
'Cause I'd seen the sky
I wanna tell you why
But somehow I know I
Would break down and cry
I know you can't see me here
But I am not alone
I'm lying here in invisible arms
And I won't be alone tonight
You… you know I would die
Before I let them see me
See me cry
Please don't leave tonight
Oh let me down slowly
Show me the light
I know you can't see me here
But I am not alone
I'm lying here in invisible arms
And I won't be alone tonight
Oh let me think I'm strong
Please don't bring me down
I need you tonight
I know you can't see me here
But I am not alone
I'm lying here in invisible arms
And I won't be alone tonight
I… I used to fly
Didn't matter where I'd been
'Cause I'd seen the sky

Kid In The Crowd (2003) - Taylor Swift
Little girl, she looks around
She’s standing in the open ground
Looks up at the girl alone
Singing through the microphone
Girl gives girl a little smile
And just one wink that could have run a mile
But life is full of empty days
But the little girl said, “I’m gonna be like that someday”
I remember the eyes
Of the kid in the crowd who cut me down to size
And realizing is crying out loud
For every kid on stage, there is a kid in the crowd
Girl on stage holds her hand
Backed up by a country band
Looking down with eyes of grace
Looked upon that young girl’s face
And when she smiled at that 8 year old
Endless thoughts that can never be told
Wiped away those empty days
And the little girl said, “I’m gonna be like that someday”
I remember the eyes
Of the kid in the crowd who cut me down to size
And realizing is crying out loud
For every kid on stage, there is a kid in the crowd
Answered why’s are like moonlit skies
And loving eyes are like fireflies
One of these, they really can be
But that little girl, that little girl was me
I remember the time
I was a kid in the crowd
With a dream in my eyes
Realizing is crying out loud
There was a kid on stage, I was a kid in the crowd
I’m still the kid in the crowd
