Taylor Swift – I'm Only Me When I'm With You lyrics

Taylor Swift – I'm Only Me When I'm With You lyrics

Friday night beneath the stars,
In a field behind your yard,
You and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.

And sometimes we don't say a thing;
Just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.

And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.

[Chorus:]
I'm only up when your not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
The other half I'm only trying to let
You know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

Just a small town boy and girl
Livin' in a crazy world.
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.

And I don't try to hide my tears.
My secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.

And you know everything about me.
You say that you can't live without me.

[Chorus:]
I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
The other half I'm only trying to let
You know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

When I'm with anybody else
It's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.

[Chorus:]
That I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
The other half I'm only trying to let
You know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Oh oh oh
Yeah

Yeah

This song means alot, I would like to dedicate it to my bestfriend, I'm only me when I'm with her, I can do all things, besides of my imperfections and foolishness I'm not shy to show it off, cause I can be my self when I'm with her. So, I would like to say thank you. And best. I love you, I wish I could say it to you, but I know its too late, I wish you luck.

This song is not about a boyfriend! It is about her friends and family who have supported her all her life. The music video is really sweet. So, Unregistered person who commented on March 12, you are very wrong. Very wrong! Sorry, I just get emotional about this, because such an amazing song that really touches your heart, and you're saying that it's just another song about some boy!

This song is the song of my life since I met my bestfriend that I extremely like. I have never been the same without him. He left me for another girl but I could not stop liking him. And he resentlybroke i]up with her and he and I can not stop being with eachother since. This song was the soundtrack of my summer last year and it is the soundtrack to my life right now.

I love this song sooo much. It is very insperational. Whenever I here this song it reminds me of my friend from school. Taylor swift is one of the best song writers, and some of my favorite songs from her remind me of certain people. Never been to one of her concerts before, but I'm hopeing that I go to one soon! I love you taylor! Keep writing those songs! :)

I think that this song means that she can truly just pour out and be herself. Like, she feels like she had to be someone she is not in public, but when she and this boy are alone, she can just be herself and accept herself for who she is on the inside! I love this song so much and this is just what is means to me! Love you taylor!
