So Long, London Lyrics Translations

[Verse 1]
I saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to
drill the safe

[Chorus]
Thinking how much sad did you think I had, did you
think I had in me?
Oh the tragedy
So long London
You’ll find someone

[Verse 2]
I didn’t opt in to be your odd man out
I founded the club she’s heard great things about
I left all I knew you left me at the house by the Hеath
I stopped CPR, after all it’s no use
Thе spirit was gone, we would never come to
And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth
for free

[Chorus]
For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I’ll find someone

[Verse 3]
And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going
down with it
My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your
quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn’t right to be scared
Every day old love affair, Every breath feels like rarest
air
When you’re not sure if he wants to be there

[Bridge]
So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I
had in me?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you think I’d go ‘fore I’d self
implode?
‘Fore I’d have to go be free?
You swore that you loved, me but where were the
clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
And I’m just getting color back into my face
I’m just mad as hell cause I loved this place for

So long, London
Had a good run
A moment of warm sun
But I’m not the one
So long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
You’ll find someone

About
This song bio is unreviewed

Genius Annotation 5 contributors

“So Long, London” is rumored to be about Taylor’s British


ex-boyfriend, Joe Alywn, whom she dated from 2016 to
2023.

This is the second time Swift has used London in a track


title. The first being “London Boy” off of 2019’s Lover,
which is also about Alwyn.

Famously, Taylor’s track fives are the most personal and


vulnerable tracks on each album, it can be expected that
this track will carry on that theme.
