i hate it here / the lakes - taylor swift lyrics

[part 1: i hate it here]

[verse]
quick, quick
tell me something awful
like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy
tell me all your secrets
all you’ll ever be is
my eternal consolation prize
you see i was a debutant in another life but
now i seem to be scared to go outside
if comfort is a construct
i don’t believe in good luck
now that i know what’s what

[verse]
is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
i’m not cut out for all these cynical clones
these hunters with cell phones

[chorus]
take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
i don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you
those windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
i’m setting off, but not without my muse

[part 3: i hate it here / the lakes]

i’m lonely but i’m good
i’m bitter but i swear i’m fine
i’ll save all my romanticism for my inner life and i’ll get lost on
purpose
this place made me feel worthless
lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me
and in my fantasies i rise above it
and way up there, i actually love it
a red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
with no one around to tweet it
while i bathe in cliffside pools
with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
[chorus]
take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die
i don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you
those windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
i’m setting off, but not without my muse

[chorus]
i hate it here so i will go to
secret gardens in my mind
people need a key to get to
the only one is mine
i read about it in a book when i was a precocious child
no mid*sized city hopes and small town fears
i hate it here so i will go to
lunar valleys in my mind
when they found a better planet
only the gentle survived
i dreamed about it in the dark
the night i felt like i might die
no mid*sized city hopes and small town fears
i’m there most of the year
cause i hate it here

[outro]
so, take me to the lakes
i hate it here, so take me to the lakes
take me to the lakes
where all the poets went to die
my beloved neither to you
those windermere peaks, look like a perfect place to cry
so, i’m setting off, but not without my muse
no, not without you
