Message In A Bottle (From The Vault)
RED (Taylor's Version) [2021]
Background and Release
On January 21, 2022, a remix of the song called “Message In A Bottle (Fat Max G Remix) (Taylor’s Version)” was released.
Lyrical Theme
«'Message In A Bottle' is such a fun song! It is so catchy and the melody is really contagious. Max Martin, Shellback and I...that was the first song we ever wrote together. We went on to write songs like 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' and '22' and we felt like those songs really represented what we were doing on RED. We kept saying that somewhere down the line we'd put out 'Message In A Bottle' because we loved it so much and this is the first opportunity that we have to show it to the world. We're all really excited about it!»

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know that you like me
And it’s kinda frightening standin’ here waitin’, waitin’
And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied
[Pre-Chorus]
But now you’re so far away
And I’m down feelin’ like a face in the crowd
I’m reachin’ for you, terrified
[Chorus]
‘Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin’ here, hopin’ it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep
And I can be the reason you can’t sleep at night
Mеssage in a bottle is all I can do
Standin’ herе, hopin’ it gets to you
[Verse 2]
These days I’m restless, workdays are endless
Look how you made me, made me
But time moves faster, replaying your laughter, disaster
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause now you’re so far away
And I’m down feelin’ like a face in the crowd
I’m reachin’ for you, terrified
[Chorus]
‘Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin’ here, hopin’ it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep
And I can be the reason you can’t sleep at night
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin’ here, hopin’ it gets to you
[Bridge]
How is it in London?
Where are you while I’m wondering if I’ll ever see you again?
You could be the one that I love (Mmm)
And now I’m standin’ here, hopin’ it gets to you
[Chorus]
‘Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin’ here, hopin’ it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep
And I can be the reason you can’t sleep at night (You can’t sleep at night)
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin’ here, hopin’ it gets to you
[Outro]
You could be the one that I love
You could be the one that I love, my love
And now I’m standin’, here hopin’ this gets to you
