Wonderland (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics

Flashing lights

And we took a wrong turn

And we fell down a rabbit hole

You held on tight to me

'Cause nothing's as it seems

And spinning out of control

Didn't they tell us "Don't rush into things"?

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?

Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?

Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?

I felt your arms twistin' around me

I should have slept with one eye open at night

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it

And we pretended it could last forever (Eh, eh)

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it

And life was never worse, but never better (Eh, eh)

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

In Wonderland

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

In Wonderland

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

In Wonderland

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

In Wonderland

So, we went on our way

Too in love to think straight

All alone, or so it seemed

But there were strangers watchin'

And whispers turned to talkin'

And talking turned to screams, ooh

Didn't they tell us "Don't rush into things"?

Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?

Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire cat smile?

Ooh, didn't it all seem new and exciting?

I felt your arms twistin' around me

It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind

But darling

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it

And we pretended it could last forever (Eh, eh)

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it

And life was never worse but never better (Eh, eh)

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

In Wonderland

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) Eh, eh

In Wonderland

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

In Wonderland

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh) Woah

In Wonderland

I reached for you, but you were gone

I knew I had to go back home

You searched the world for somethin' else

To make you feel like what we had

And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad

Ooh

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it

And we pretended it could last forever (Last forever; Eh, eh)

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it (Got lost in it)

And life was never worse but never better (Never better; Eh, eh)

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

And we pretended it could last forever (In Wonderland)

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it (Lost in it)

(Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)

And life was never worse but never better

In Wonderland

About

"Wonderland (Taylor’s Version)" is the fourteenth track on Taylor Swift's re-recorded album "1989 (Taylor's Version)," released on October 27, 2023, through Republic Records. This re-recording is part of Swift's ongoing initiative to reclaim control of her early discography.

Meaning

"Wonderland" draws inspiration from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and offers a metaphorical exploration of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics vividly describe the ups and downs, capturing the essence of a fantastical journey filled with twists and turns.

The opening lines, "Flashing lights and we took a wrong turn," set the scene for an unpredictable and disorienting experience. The reference to falling down a rabbit hole alludes to Alice's journey into Wonderland, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of the relationship.

Throughout the song, Taylor Swift uses elements from the classic tale to convey the complexities of love and the challenges faced in navigating its uncertainties. The lyrics reference the Cheshire cat smile and the whimsical yet unpredictable nature of Wonderland, creating a rich tapestry of imagery.

The chorus reflects the idea of finding oneself lost in the enchanting yet chaotic realm of Wonderland with a romantic partner. The repeated refrain emphasizes the temporary and illusory nature of this fantastical escape.

As the narrative unfolds, the lyrics reveal the aftermath of the Wonderland experience, expressing the realization that reality is different from the fantastical realm they ventured into. The lines "I reached for you, but you were gone" and "In Wonderland, we both went mad" suggest the ephemeral nature of the fantastical escape and the potential toll it takes on individuals.

"Wonderland" effectively combines elements of fantasy with the complexities of real-world relationships. Taylor Swift's use of vivid imagery and clever references to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" creates a captivating narrative that resonates with listeners, adding depth to the emotional landscape of "1989 (Taylor's Version)."
