Taylor Swift

Lyrics
Looking at it now, it all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch, I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered (then discovered)
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good.
Are we out of the woods?

Looking at it now, last December
We were built to fall apart, then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck,
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided (We decided)
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods?
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
When you started crying
Baby, I did too
But when the sun came up
I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up
You were looking at me
You were looking at me
Oh!
You were looking at me.
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods? (I remember)
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet? (Oh, I remember)

Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good"


Ok maybe one comment, this song SUCKS! lol

Let's count how many times Taylor says "Are we out of the woods yet?" and "Are we in the clear yet?" and see if we can't invent a Roxanne-style drinking game around this dud of a song

Are We Out Of The Woods Yet?: 38 times

Are We In The Clear Yet?: 36 times

I've never even considered the other lyrics in this song that I've almost certainly heard double-digit times because at any given time you are listening to this song you are wildly likely to hear Taylor Swift singing "Are We Out of the Woods Yet?" or "Are We In The Clear Yet?". Let's break it down by percentages:

Total word count, lyrics to "Out of the Woods?": 650 words

Total word count, the words "Are We Out of the Woods Yet": 7 x 38 = 266
Total word count, the words "Are We In the Clear Yet?": 6 x 36 = 216
Total word count, Taylor Swift asking the above questions in the song: 266 + 216 = 482

Percentage of "Out of the Woods" lyrics that are Taylor asking if we're out of the woods or in the clear yet: 482 / 650 = 74.15%

Are the bigwigs at Big Machine Records paying Taylor by the word?

The kids bop version of this song should just be 20 children singing "Are we there yet Are we there yet Are we there yet GOOD" over and over for 3 1/2 minutes


PS legit really enjoyed "Ronan", thank u for the tip :)
