​l​ong story short Taylor Swift ​L​ONG STORY SHORT LYRICS [Verse 1] Fatefully I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me Misery Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep [Refrain] And you passed right by I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides The knife cuts both ways If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break [Chorus] And I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time Pushed from the precipice Clung to the nearest lips Long story short, it was the wrong guy [Post-Chorus] Now I'm all about you I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Actually I always felt I must look better in the rear view Missing me At the golden gates they once held the keys to [Refrain] When I dropped my sword I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door And we live in peace But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready [Chorus] 'Cause I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time Pushed from the precipice Clung to the nearest lips Long story short, it was the wrong guy [Post-Chorus] Now I'm all about you I'm all about you, ah Yeah, yeah I'm all about you [Bridge] No more keepin' score Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm) No more tug of war Now I just know there's more (Know there's more) No more keepin' score Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm) And my waves meet your shore Ever and evermore [Verse 3] Past me I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things Your nemeses Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing [Refrain] And he's passing by Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky And he feels like home If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go [Chorus] And I fell from the pedestal Right down the rabbit hole Long story short, it was a bad time Pushed from the precipice Climbed right back up the cliff Long story short, I survived Lyrics by: https://genius.com/Taylor-swift-long-story-short-lyrics Produced ByAaron Dessner Written ByAaron Dessner & Taylor Swift Release DateDecember 11, 2020
