Who Wrote These Lyrics – Taylor Swift Or Bruce Springsteen?

Bruce Springsteen

"There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D / I'm laughing at you, you're laughing at me."  


Taylor Swift

"You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables / Left a small town, never looked back."  


"I hold you in my arms as the band plays / What are those words whispered, baby? / Just as you turn away."  


"Man meets woman, and they fall in love. But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough / And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above."  


"Time, mystical time / Cutting me open, then healing me fine."  


"'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night / We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light."  


"I'm drunk in the back of the car / And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar / Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true / I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you."  


From her song, "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince."

"Marching band playing, I'm lost in the lights / American glory faded before me."  


"We went down to the courthouse, and the judge put it all to rest / No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle / No flowers, no wedding dress."  


"So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes / Is that you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise?"  


"Cause in the darkness, there'll be hidden worlds that shine."

"Well I came by your house the other day / Your mother said you went away / She said there was nothing that I could have done / There was nothing nobody could say."

"The time we stood with our shaking hands / The crowds in stands went wild / We were the kings and the queens / And they read off our names."  


But we have to admit, this isn't the best score. That's ok though. Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen are both songwriting geniuses so I can see how it's difficult to tell their lyrics apart!
