Ryan Adams - Blank Space Lyrics






Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, do you wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

So goddamn reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
I'm your King and you my Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

So goddamn reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
I'll write your name
I'll write your name
I'll write your name

Ryan Adams Blank Space Comments
  1. S.... G....

    There's no point here for Taylor, Ryan could this all his life from everyone from madona to riahanna..
    He would make all of it sound great.
    After all ITS ALL POP (n rock) MUSIC

  2. E.... U....

    Such a womanizer.

  3. M.... O....

    This is so beautiful oh my god i'm crying 😭

  4. E.... S....

    I'm late to the table, literally - both in this song and post in replying. I have seen Ryan Adams and love his music, yet I had not heard this song til tonight. Beautiful!

  5. E.... U....

    In this version, Ryan sounds more like a womanizer, more than Taylor sounded a man-hunter in the original song.

  6. T.... T....

    I stared into space for a good long while when I was reminded that Pitchfork did not review Taylor Swift’s 1989 but did review Ryan Adams’s cover album of Taylor Swift’s 1989.

  7. M.... M....

    A grotesque stunt.

  8. R.... ....

    Why do I love the lyrics more when he sings them? Wow.. holy shit. I feel it. I’m feeling it on a whole new level.

  9. R.... B....

    Got a long list of starbuck’s lovers who’ll tell you I’m insane..that was as written

  10. E.... M....

    sorry but you can't soley contribute your y chromosome and get praised for it

  11. C.... F....

    Sounds like Herbert from Family Guy

  12. S.... P....

    oops..forgot, I played on this tune...absolutely lovely,many thanks to Ryan for asking me to join in the fun, and to Taylor for her gorgeous tune, and the bottle of champagne!

  13. G.... O....

    Dez mil vezes melhor na voz dele...❤

  14. S.... ....

    This whole album is tragically underrated.

    S.... ....

    Servo underrated? The original won AOT at the Grammys

  15. S.... E....

    The lyrics at 0:57 are now profoundly ironic.

  16. L.... w....

    what a snoozefest of a cover

  17. J.... J....

    Haha...This is fucking amazing.

  18. �.... �....

    Man, Im russian, heard a radio programm, that was about you and album 1989 in Estonia radio 4 and.....now Im your true ran....its a truly miracle, what you do.....no matter my soul is happy or crying - you're in my dynamics....your voice and music....thanks, man...go on..

  19. L.... T....

    Okay.. Taylor swift version is way much better

  20. W.... w....

    My ear is come!!!

  21. p.... b....

    Everyone here is from a year and two ago. Idk it makes me depressed

  22. A.... R....

    This is the first song I ever heard of his and it had me sold. Please Ryan sing to me more. Love this song.

  23. s.... ....

    Oh god wow

  24. M.... A....

    Ryan adams's cover + cigarette + whiskey + sunset + ur ex's photos with her new bf = perfection

  25. T.... W....

    My God, how beautiful. I repent for my past sin of dismissing Taylor Swift. These lyrics are beautiful and Ryan gives them a pain-filled life full of love and heartache.

  26. t.... t....

    I wish someone could mash up these albums have T. swizzys production/beats. Yet have Ryan Adams vocals for the whole album

  27. R.... R....

    Will there be a Reputation cover album?? :D

  28. F.... F....

    i signed this band to RCA Records like 20 years ago

  29. v.... e....

    Best version of this son.. 😍😍😍

  30. T.... S....

    He's singing so quiet I can barely hear him and my volume is all the way but he have a good voice nice job

  31. M.... M....

    This whole experiment he did with this album kind of cements how pliable music is and gives legitimacy to covers. A lot of purists piss on covers as devoid of artistry. You can't hear this album and say it's lazy or lacking.

  32. K.... ....

    usually Ryan Adams is really good, but I like Taylor Swift's version of this song more.

  33. D.... ....

    This cover is really nice its shows how different singers can change t he tone of one song
    Taylor sounds careless almost amused, Ryan sounds sad even heartbroken und I prevail sounds mad and angry

  34. M.... W....

    i need to stop listening to this before i get feelings and stuff

  35. D.... ....

    much better than the original song!

  36. N.... N....

    Sounds like Sleeping at Last

  37. M.... H....

    Who is Taylor Swift? Oh I think she was a little kitten in 1989 meowing around looking for kitty titty milk while Ryan was hitting all the Pussy cats y'all

  38. A.... L....

    Brilliant.

  39. F.... Y....

    Who's song is this actually? Ryan or Taylor? how can Taylor copy it?

    F.... Y....

    Foreva Young the originals songs are of Taylor, ryan made a cover of the entire album

  40. E.... N....

    hey guys + girls + non gender confirming folks i love u

  41. G.... P....

    Holy shit, this is heart-wrenching.

  42. M.... M....

    I think it shows how bad ass Taylor is. Ryan Adams is a bad mother fucker. He brought a sadness and desperation to her songs.

  43. J.... T....

    Was this done as a parody?

    J.... T....

    Jonny Taylor No, he said that 1989 was such an incredible album and that all he did after getting divorced was sit around and listen to it all day and decided to do a cover of it. It helped him in his time of hurt so he asked permission to use her lyrics but change the sound of the music.

    J.... T....

    @Minxy Moo Sorry, you're right. I suppose a mental breakdown is the only thing that would lead someone to do this.

    J.... T....

    Minxy Moo there are so many albums and songs that are amazing to listen to in a time of heartbreak. Taylor Swift not one of them..reall??

    J.... T....

    Jonny Taylor no,actually you are the one who has problems not him.

  44. m.... G....

    I don't care for this cover , I prevail blank space cover is the best one as far as I'm concerned..... this sounds like a weird Bob Dylan/ Bruce Springsteen combo

  45. m.... b....

    Esta mejor la canción de Taylor Swift, esta esta de la ching.... La netaa :D

  46. M.... ....

    very nice but I prefer the I prevail version :D

  47. K.... S....

    😵😵😵😍😍😍😵😵😵

  48. v.... ....

    Holy shit, this is better than original

    v.... ....

    Taylor is the best

  49. M.... K....

    Amazing work Ryan. Absolutely amazing!

  50. N.... B....

    taylor swift must be SHOOK

  51. K.... w....

    Jeff Buckley

  52. K.... w....

    Ryan Adam

  53. m.... ....

    An amazing cover - brilliant!

  54. J.... C....

    This almost reminds me of the Taylor Swift music I grew up listening to.

  55. n.... ....

    Springsteen. everywhere you look. Springsteen.

    n.... ....

    you're so right... i was just talking avout this w someone.

    n.... ....

    +Jonny Tonga it's totally a good thing though. very cool all round.

    n.... ....

    agreed...

  56. S.... L....

    Way better than the original but it demonstrates how well written this song is. I'm shocked I like it. Really shocked. Sort of weird for me but goodness it's really good.

  57. M.... D....

    Oh this is the song Taylor covered

  58. k.... o....

    This is beautiful
    I love this so much
    So much better than Tay-Swift's version, I love her but this is awesome! Am I right?

  59. B.... A....

    Now this songs have soul

  60. S.... ....

    I suggest you to listen this song by the EDEN project !!!!

  61. T.... T....

    I think Taylor Swift cover this song?

  62. P.... M....

    Sounds like this song really came out in 1989

    P.... M....

    No it doesn't

  63. V.... B....

    Wow, he really remade this!

  64. S.... A....

    isnt this the same from the voice? OAO

  65. C.... M....

    Anyone else come here from Frank Iero's record suggestion thingy...?



    Nope, just me, thats cool.....mcr trash forever bitches!

  66. J.... H....

    I prefer this version to the Taylor Swift one, just brings the lyrics out to the fore better

    J.... H....

    Jim Howson I agree. Hers was to paint an exhaggerated, extravagant picture of her status in the tabloids/public opinion, but I think his gives it an honest, tortured voice, almost venomous.

  67. Y.... M....

    soooo beautiful...his voice and music is perfect for a bath, some candles, chocolate and just relax listen this awesome cover. love the part with strings!!!

  68. D.... M....

    My Starbucks lovers

  69. A.... T....

    Sounds like the beginning of Breakeven by The Script

  70. A.... T....

    He made a song out of a shallow committee-written nothing.

  71. N.... D....

    I can't stop listening to this song. I must give Taylor credit as i would have never taken her seriously unless presented this way, however she is a surprisingly good songwriter!

  72. M.... N....

    YOU ARE NOT BRYAN ADAMS STOP MAKING YOUR NAME CLOSE

  73. s.... ....

    this is even better than his cover of Wonderwall, and God knows that's a fucking cover

  74. A.... C....

    I thought of Vance Joy when he started singing

  75. C.... M....

    SOOO GOOD

  76. r.... ....

    "I get drunk of Hennessey..."

  77. T.... M....

    nostalgia

  78. S.... ....

    ticketmaster brought me here

  79. m.... t....

    Oh waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw waw !!!!

  80. J.... ....

    This doesn't really sound like The Smiths.

  81. b.... n....

    I'm shocked-sell out. : 9

  82. G.... M....

    The only cover on the album that doesn't work, in my opinion. Which is a shame. Love Ryan's take on the rest of the record though.

  83. s.... ....

    finally, good songwriting from Adams

  84. J.... D....

    Up until now, I thought Ryan to be brilliant. But I have to correct that. He's a genious. Thanks for a brilliant 1989 album. I love it!!!

    J.... D....

    Thanks for Taylor Swift's lyrics.

  85. W.... S....

    Just saw this tape on urban outfitters website and figured I'd look at it. Jesus Christ this is incredible. Reminds me of Elliot Smith. Definitely buying this tape..

  86. T.... ....

    So cool and amazing.. At first it was boring but later on at the part " new magazine ...." It's so freakin' amazing.

  87. A.... H....

    Everyone saying that all of his covers of 1989 are terrible clearly hasn't listened to his version of "This Love". It's beautiful.

  88. H.... L....

    musical genius!

  89. c.... ....

    Every one of these covers is garbage.

  90. C.... E....

    This cover is really peaceful! I love it!

  91. C.... G....

    Very excellent.

  92. N.... H....

    I'm guessing a lot of people when they are told about Ryan Adams think of Bryan Adams and are like, yeah I like him! And they they are shown this garbage....

  93. F.... �....

    Nossa, Taylor Swift conseguiu estragar essa maravilhosa musica.

  94. Z.... ....

    I like this cover more than original !!!

    Z.... ....

    it is pretty fantastic

  95. g.... ....

    The Ryan Adams's version -- either people love it or hate it

  96. j.... c....

    freedom of speech is overrated
