"Making Up for Lost Love" is an unreleased song by American singer and songwriter Taylor Swift. The song is rumored to be an outtake of Taylor Swift, especially since a T-shirt from her merchandise at the time contained lyrics from the song's bridge.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I need you more than I know how to mention
And I'd give forever to get your attention
Be your summer midnight with starry, blue eyes
That only see you and are yours every night
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, love's like this
It's something I missed
Ooh, ooh, love's like this
[Chorus]
And that small town daydream lasted all night
'Cause tonight, all those bright city lights
Just look at you, look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
[Verse 2]
All of the days that I couldn't get it right
It all disappeared, lying here by your side
With your dirty blue jeans and my crooked smile
You make it look easy changing my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, love's like this
It's something I missed
Ooh, ooh, love's like this
[Chorus]
And that small town daydream lasted all night
'Cause tonight, all those bright city lights
Just look at you, look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
[Bridge]
Heaven had quite the time
To figure this life out
But, baby, I've got mine
To give you everything you dream about
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, love's like this
It's something I missed
Ooh, ooh, love's like this
[Chorus]
And that small town daydream lasted all night
'Cause tonight, all those bright city lights
Just look at you, look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
[Chorus]
And that small town daydream lasted all night
'Cause tonight, all those bright city lights
Just look at you, look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
