1. You Belong With Me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend

She's upset

She's going off about something that you said

I'm in my room

It's a typical Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do'

In the middle of the parking lot

Yeah

She said, 

“Fearless doesn't mean you're completely unafraid and it doesn't mean that you're bulletproof. It means that you have a lot of fears, but you jump anyway.”

10. Gorgeous by Taylor Swift

You should take it as a compliment

That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk

You should think about the consequence
