It has been forever since Taylor Swift has given us new music and we were starting to go through some withdrawals. Thankfully, our prayers have been answered!
Even though the 23-year-old is currently in South Africa filming The Giver, she did take to twitter to announce the release of “Sweeter Than Fiction,”, a song from the upcoming film One Chance.
Taylor wrote the upbeat song with fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff. Jack wrote about the song, “sweeter than fiction is here! http://smarturl.it/STFit very inspired by @taylorswift13 & LOVE working with her. hear the john hughes in it?”
Listen to the full track below and pick it up on iTunes here. PS, the John Hughes reference Jack is pointing out is the hint of “If You Leave,” which was used in the film Pretty In Pink.
Taylor has also just announced a new date on the European leg of her Red Tour. The RED Tour is coming to Berlin’s O2 World on February 7th, 2014! Tickets will be available to purchase from 9am CEST on Friday October 25th, 2013 via www.eventim.de.
“Sweeter Than Fiction” Lyrics
Hit the ground hit the ground hit the ground oh oh
Only sound onlysound that you hear is no
You never saw it coming slipped when you started running
And now you’ve come undone and I I I
Seen you fall seen you crawl on your knees eh eh
Seen you lost in a crowd seen your colors fade
Wish I could make it better someday you won’t remember
This pain you thought would last forever and ever
There you’ll stand ten feet tall
I will say I knew it all along
Your eyes wider than distance
This love is sweeter than fiction
Just a shot just a shot in the dark oh oh
All you got all you got are your shattered hopes
They never saw it coming you hit the ground running
And now you’re on to something I I I I
What a sight what a sight when the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong
And in this perfect weather it’s like we don’t remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
There you’ll stand, ten feet tall
I will say I knew it all along
Your eyes wider than distance
This love is sweeter than fiction
There you’ll stand, next to me
All at once the rest is history
Your eyes wider than distance
This love is sweeter than fiction
I’ll be one of the many saying
Look at you look at you now now
I’ll be one of the many saying
You made us proud you made us proud proud
I’ll be one of the many saying
Look at you, look at you now, now
I’ll be one of the many saying
You made us proud you made us proud proud
And then they call your name and put your picture in a frame
You know that I’ll be there time and again cause I loved you when
When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground oh oh
Only sound, only sound, only sound that you heard was no
And in this perfect weather it’s like we don’t remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
There you’ll stand ten feet tall
I will say I knew it all along
Your eyes wider than distance
This love is sweeter than fiction
There you’ll stand, next to me
All at once the rest is history
Your eyes wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
Sweeter than fiction
It’s sweeter, it’s sweeter, sweeter than fiction
