License This Song 

• I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
  In the front seat of his car
  He's got a one-hand feel on the steerin' wheel
  The other on my heart
  I look around, turn the radio down
  He says, "Baby, is somethin' wrong?"
  I say, "Nothin', I was just thinkin'
  How we don't have a song"
  And he says
  
  Our song is the slammin' screen door
  Sneakin' out late, tappin' on your window
  When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
  'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
  Our song is the way you laugh
  The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
  And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
  Askin' God if he could play it again
  
  I was walkin' up the front porch steps
  After everything that day
  Had gone all wrong, had been trampled on
  And lost and thrown away
  Got to the hallway, well on my way
  To my lovin' bed
  I almost didn't notice all the roses
  And the note that said
  
  Our song is the slammin' screen door
  Sneakin' out late, tappin' on your window
  When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
  'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
  Our song is the way you laugh
  The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
  And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
  Askin' God if he could play it again
  
  Da-da-da, da
  
  I've heard every album, listened to the radio
  Waited for somethin' to come along
  That was as good as our song
  
  'Cause our song is the slammin' screen door
  Sneakin' out late, tappin' on his window
  When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
  'Cause it's late and his mama don't know
  Our song is the way he laughs
  The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
  And when I got home, 'fore I said amen
  Askin' God if he could play it again
  Play it again
  Oh, yeah
  Oh, oh, yeah
  
  I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
  In the front seat of his car
  I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
  And I wrote down our song Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift

• Ned from AustraliaI love this T.S song, It's so amazing. :))))
• Rikki from Huntington Beach, CaThis song is absolutely adorable and used to be my anthem as a teen! One note to this article though: It is correct in stating that the song was written while she was dating the same boy from her song "Tim McGraw". His name was Brandon, though, not Drew. Drew is who "Teardrops On My Guitar" is written about, whom she never dated. They were just friends, though she wished to be more at the time. Drew DID show up on her driveway a couple of years after the release of the album, and all the following of that story is accurate. Just wanted to clarify that "Our Song" and "Tim McGraw" are not about her and Drew!
