Lyrics to Sparks Fly:

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby
And I fall in love in an empty bar

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes
Baby, as the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well I don't need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby bring on the movie star

Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful
I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes
Baby, as the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Just keep your beautiful eyes on me
Gonna strike this match tonight

Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes
Baby as the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me
when you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Sparks fly, baby smile, sparks fly



Description:

"Sparks Fly" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, from her third studio album, Speak Now (2010). The song was written and produced by Swift, with additional production handled by Nathan Chapman. Swift penned the song when she was sixteen years of age; before she had broken out into the music scene with her debut single "Tim McGraw" in 2006. Following a 2007 live performance of the song, the song grew in popularity among Swift's fans. While Swift was working on Speak Now, she had a lot of requests from fans to include the song on the album and she complied. The song speaks of falling in love with somebody that may not be appropriate to fall in love with.
"Sparks Fly" has been met with mostly positive reviews by critics. Some critics believe the song could turn things around for Swift and praise it for its upbeat tempo, as well as her vocals. Other claims have praised Swift's lyrics of the song and have also claimed that the song crosses the line between country and pop. Prior to its single release, the song debuted at number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100 due to strong digital sales. Also prior to the single release, the song debuted at twenty-eight on the Canadian Hot 100. The song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at eighty-four, after its single release. It peaked at number one at the Hot Country Songs Chart. The song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
