So High School, Taylor Swift



So High School Lyrics
[Intro]
I feel so high school every time I look at you
I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you

[Chorus]
And in a blink of a crinklin' eye
I'm sinkin', our fingers entwined
Cheeks pink in the twinklin' lights
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
I'll drink what you think and I'm high
From smokin' your jokes all damn night
The brink of a wrinkle in time
Bittersweet sixteen suddenly
[Post-Chorus]
I'm watchin' American Pie with you on a Saturday night
Your friends are around, so be quiet
I'm tryin' to stifle my sighs
'Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you
But look at you

[Interlude]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

[Verse 1]
Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? (Kill me)
It's just a game, but really (Really)
I'm bettin' on all three (All three) for us two
Get my car door, isn't that sweet? (That sweet)
Then pull me to thе backseat (The backseat)
No onе's ever had me (Had me), not like you

[Bridge]
Truth, dare, spin bottles
You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
Brand-new, full throttle
Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto
It's true, swear, scout's honor
You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her
Brand-new, full throttle
You already know, babe
[Verse 2]
I feel like laughin' in the middle of practice
Do that impression you did of your dad again
I'm hearing voices like a madman

[Chorus]
And in a blink of a crinklin' eye
I'm sinkin', our fingers entwined
Cheeks pink in the twinklin' lights
Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me
I'll drink what you think, and I'm high
From smokin' your jokes all damn night
The brink of a wrinkle in time
Bittersweet sixteen suddenly

[Post-Chorus]
I'm watchin' American Pie with you on a Saturday night
Your friends are around, so be quiet
I'm tryin' to stifle my sighs
'Cause I feel so high school (Feel so high school) every time I look at you
But look at you

[Outro]
Truth, dare, spin bottles
You know how to ball, I know Aristotle
Brand-new, full throttle
Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto
It's true, swear, scout's honor (Yeah)
You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her
Brand-new, full throttle (Yeah)
You already know, babe
You already know, babe

Genius Annotation

“So High School” is rumored to be about Swifts' most recent relationship, Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs an American Football Team.

Most notably, the track refers to a few lyrics that can be related back to Kelce.

Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? (Kill me)

May be a reference to a “resurfaced interview” from 2016, in which Travis Kelce chose to “kiss” Taylor in a game of Kiss, Marry, Kill.

You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her

May be referencing how Kelce revealed in an interview that he made Swift a “friendship bracelet” with his number on it and attending one of her Eras Tour Concerts.

You know how to ball, I know Aristotle

May refer to the fact that Kelce is a player on the popular American Football Team The Kansas City Chiefs

It is a bonus track from Swift’s 11th studio album, and as such is rumored to be one of the later produced tracks in the timeline as its contents refers to recent events.
