If This Was A Movie

This bonus track from the Deluxe edition of Taylor Swift's third studio album Speak Now was released as a promotional single for digital download to iTunes and Amazon on November 8, 2011. Taylor wrote the song with Martin Johnson, who is lead singer of Boys Like Girls. Previous collaborations between the pair include "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home " from the soundtrack of Hannah Montana: The Movie and the Boys Like Girls single "Two Is Better Than One."

Here, Taylor Swift daydreams of her lost love's return, just like they do in romantic movies. The lyrics reference many classic movie tropes, such as Swift's lover waiting in the rain for her, a flashback to carefree times together, and a happy ending.

You would, you would if this was a movie Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out The chorus parallels Swift's 2008 Fearless track "Breathe" where she sings: Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie, It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see And also Swift's 2021 Fearless (Taylor's Version) cut, "Bye Bye Baby": It wasn't just like a movie The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin I'm drivin' away and I, I guess you could say
