Begin Again

"Begin Again" is a song recorded by American recording artist Taylor Swift. It was written by Swift. Initially released as a promotional single on September 25, 2012 by Big Machine Records, the song will serve as the second single from Swift's fourth studio album Red (2012) on October 1, 2012. Swift told that the song is "about when you've gotten through a really bad relationship and you finally dust yourself off and go on that first date after a horrible breakup, and the vulnerability that goes along with all that". She previewed it on Good Morning America on September 24, 2012, while it was released digitally on iTunes the next day, September 25. The song serves as a promotional single, the first of four tracks to be released during the four weeks preceding the release of Red. It was later announced that the song would be the second single from Red. A music video for Begin Again will be released later this year. Photos have been released showing that the video will be shot in Paris. The official music video premiered on October 24th, 2012 after 2 days released of her Album Red and it premiered on Taylor Swift's VEVO account. The music video began filming on September 30, 2012 in Paris.

[Verse 1] Took a deep breath in the mirror He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do Turn the lock and put my headphones on He always said he didn't get this song but I do, I do Walked in, expecting you'd be late But you got here early and you stand and wave I walk to you You pull my chair out and help me in And you don't know how nice that is, but I do [Chorus] And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did I've been spending the last eight months Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again [Verse 2] You said you never met one girl who Had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do We tell stories and you don't know why I'm coming off a little shy, but I do [Chorus] But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did I've been spending the last eight months Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again [Bridge] And we walked down the block to my car And I almost brought him up But you start to talk About the movies that your family watches Every single Christmas, and I will talk about that And for the first time, what's past is past [Chorus] 'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did I've been spending the last eight months Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again [Outro] But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again
