The Prophecy
Taylor Swift
Hand on the throttle, thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Oh, but it's gone again
And it was written, I got cursed like Eve got bitten
Oh, was it punishment?
Pad around when I get home, I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg, but I looked to the sky and said
Please, I've been on my knees, change the prophecy
Don't want money, just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me, who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?
Cards on thе table, mine play out like fools in a fablе
Oh, it was sinking in (sinking in) (aah)
Slow is the quicksand, poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
Oh, still I dream of him
Please, I've been on my knees, change the prophecy
Don't want money, just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me, who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?
And I sound like an infant, feelin' like the very last drops of an ink pen
A greater woman stays cool, but I howl like a wolf at the Moon
And I look unstable, gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table
A greater woman has faith, but even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate, no sign of soulmates
I'm just a paperweight in shades of greige
Spendin' my last coin so someone will tell me
It'll be okay
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Please, I've been on my knees, change the prophecy
Don't want money, just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me, who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy?
Who do I have to speak to to change the prophecy?
Hand on the throttle, thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Oh, but it's gone again
Pad around when I get home, I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg, but I looked to the sky and said
Please
