Official “False God” Lyrics
Written by Taylor Swift & Jack Antonoff
We were crazy to think
Crazy to think that this could work
Remember how I said I’d die for you
We were stupid to jump
In the ocean separating us
Remember how I’d fly to you
And I can’t talk to you when you’re like this
Staring out the window like I’m not your favorite town - I’m New York City
I still do it for you babe
They all warned us about times like this
They say the road gets hard and you
get lost when you’re led by blind faith
Blind faith But we might just get away with it
Religion’s in your lips
Even if it’s a false god
We’d still worship
We might just get away with it
The altar is my hips
Even if it’s a false god
We’d still worship this love
We’d still worship this love
We’d still worship this love I know heaven’s a thing
I go there when you touch me
honey, hell is when I fight with you
But we can patch it up good
Make confessions and
we’re begging for forgiveness,
got the wine for you
And you can’t talk to me when I’m like this
Daring you to leave me
just so I can try and scare you,
you’re the West Village
You still do it for me babe
They all warned us about times like this
They say the road gets hard and you
get lost when you’re led by blind faith
Blind faith
Still worship this love
Even if it’s a false god
Even if it’s a false god
Still worship this love

when she said "i'm new york city" is the level of confidence i wanna achieve

I love sensual Taylor. I think this is one of her smartest songs and best arrangements and this performance is so effortless. Can’t believe I couldn’t stand her until this year and was totally sleeping on her song writing abilities. She’s truly one of the best in the business.
so glad you came around, there's soo much to appreciate about her song writing, the depths of her lyrics and performances. Plus now you get to revisit her old eras (that she is rerecording hihi) with this new found appreciation yayayay also
ME TOO. totally relate. i love her so much now it’s crazy
Wife here using my husband’s account :)
I said the exact same thing!
And she’s only getting better with age !
Same...
@@MiguelChavez-jf5mi yes one of the very rare artists who just keeps getting better with age! It’s a super rare quality, the fact that she still has our attention after all these years (more of us than ever before!)
THE WAY SHE IMMEDIATELY SIGNALS TO THE SAXOPHONE PLAYER AS SOON AS THE SONG IS OVER, C L A S S
AND THEN HER BACKUP SINGERS
@@Rebeccaa54687 the keyboard and drummer in the back like 👁👄👁
Humble legend 🙌
WISH HIS PART IS LONGERR AHH
He’s the sax player for the SNL band, Lenny Pickett! Legend respecting legend
I’m still not over with Lover and she released Folklore
Kylo Ren things that stress me out 😂
Same
Soo truue me neither
EXACTLY!! whew
True though. Lover and Folklore conflict so much like tone and sound-wise. It's definitely my most annoying first-world problem at the moment
she sings this with the behaviour of a woman who has topped her boyfriend and I love it
YOURE SO RIGJT
lmfao
And her boyfriend was in the audience💀🥵🔥
Dianna Agron was in the audience on that show! 🤯
..her boyfriend. Yeah top energy but not for her boyfriend 😂
I'm one of those who became a swiftie with the evermore and folklore albums now going through her entire discography and performances. I love and worship her now.
SAMEE
same 😅
Me to. 62 yo man. I have become a full blown Swiftie.
Welcome to the club… And she is only going to get better
EXACT SAME!
i love how tay lets everyone pay attention to the guy with the instrument. this perfomance was great
Ariel Calderón Guy with the instrument? You mean the saxaphone or sexyphone player lol? I’d hope any lead singer would focus everyones attention to the instrumental solist....gotta show that respect.
That's no mere "guy with the instrument", Ariel!
That's the one and only Lenny Picketts, director of music for SNL, and a highly respected SIR in the jazz community, you uncultured swine.
@@amandachadwick3696 calm down lmao
Mrs. Amanda Lee he's amazing... and this song is amazing live
@@amandachadwick3696 somebody was appreciating the guy u talking abt but you going to trash him? Get a load of this person
I keep coming back to this performance. She nailed everything - her clothes, her hair, her attitude, her vocals...and that sax player was fabulous! So sultry!
Yup you said it... it's something about it in live that makes it so much special than the recorded version......
Well, actually she is a little off (vocals) in some parts but that’s just the human in her
@@sadeofficial I feel like she started off a little rocky (for her, still great, just a little off), and then after the sax solo just found her rhythm and nailed it.
@@sadeofficial I mean I feel this live version more than the recorded one that is what matters ......the feeling .... she is perfect at making you feel things for the first time. I don't care for the vocals ...
I love it though, let’s you know she can 100% sing live, I’d rather have a few pitchy lines than know that it’s all overly autotuned or lip synching
these pants really live in my head rent free
That "Religions in my lips " and "altar is my hips" for me..... She's definitely a lyrical queen 👑😭❤️
She’s had country, pop, and now indie albums. I would love to see her make a full jazz album!
Also broadway!
Don't forget Rock (Speak Now, and maybe a few red tracks)
YES YES YES
I'LL SIMPLY PASS AWAY IF TAYLOR MAKES AN ENTIRE ALBUM LIKE THIS
@@adiehardthestoryofusfan1621 Yeah the story of us or better than revenge kind of sound. I'm here for Rock or Punk Taylor
Her expression when she says “I’m New York City” THE POWER
👑👑
👑👑👑
Me: I'm gay
Mom: How?
Me: shows this video
Mom: I'm gay
The USERNAME HAHAHAHAJAJAJJA
@@cowboylikeme854 ikr, i feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t have a Taylor swift related username
@@lolad308 mine is my fav t swift song from evermore lol
Wait why?
Haha, mode
She has such range as a writer and performer. If she writes a west end musical - it will probably be another masterpiece
I hope her artistic vision goes more jazzy in the future
it suits her A lot
YAS
i mean Eh
yah, her voice is full of so much soul and emotion plus she sounds great doing this style
I don’t see how this is jazz... it’s more like soft pop, it just a jazz backs and a sax intro. That doesn’t make it jazz.
Katherine Evans Yeh, I love this style tho.
Song number 13 on the album for a reason !!
HARSH RACHWANI wdym
@@waakemeupdreamer7361 13 is our favorite number ;)
literally what
13 is Taylor's lucky number
Imo, Soon You’ll Get Better should have been track 13 considering she put Epiphany (Grandfather) and Marjorie (Grandmother) at track 13
I just love how when she performs live, she immediately gestures towards the backup singers and instrumentalists and appreciates their efforts. like that's really humble and thoughtful of her. I really do stan a QUEEN
damn it so many likes 😭😭😭 I don't wanna be that person but this is the most likes I've got. like, ever.
This is what I see Tortured Poets Dept sounding like. Sultry, passionate, a bit reserved
NO CAUSE THATS MY SECOND HOPE
(first is synthpop)
Fingers crossed 🤞 I am really hoping for a jazz or soft rock vibe
i heard it’s like a mix of red and folklore!!
I hope so omg😭
@@maddog9265im praying for a folklore midnights mix tbh
she's seriously a lyrical genius
too bad she always chooses the wrong songs to be singles
@@iqlalf8435 FRRR 😭😭
@@iqlalf8435 well she choose cardigan and willow and still didnt perform well cries
@@SeanZraft cardigan isn't single worthy...
@@iqlalf8435 yes it is what😭
I love the song more after seeing this performance
Me toooooooooooooo
You and I both
Abhi One Nine same i actually didnt like it now i love it
She should of sang Daylight or Cornelia street
@@marcod440 I also love those songs
This is definitely one of Taylor's best performances. Everything about this is perfection. I hate that people sleep on this track, it's a masterpiece!
Thank you!!!!!! My thoughts exactly
this cannot be. her vocals were not the best.
her stage presence is UNMATCHED
I love this song. Reminds me of the dark songs from Reputation era like "dress", "dancing with our hands tied" or maybe "so it goes"
💯
All my favorites!
ME TOO, OMG THIS HAS THE SAME VIBES AS THE DARK SONGS FROM REP AND I'M JUST REALIZING THAT-
Surprised you didn’t include don’t blame me in your list 😭
all of her gayest songs so true bestie
I would’ve been glad with any song off Lover, I’m glad that she chose this one because it’s so different from anything she’s ever done and showcases exactly how versatile of an artist she truly is! Lover is truly a masterpiece of an album and definitely her best work so far!🇿🇦❤️
No. Red was the best one
Marco Diaz they can pick their faves, staph this ghad 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Uzayr Dinath 100000% agree with you
Her evolution as an artist is incredible!
@@marcod440 truth❤
The way she snaps the jacket backwards when she sings “the alter is my hips” made me GAY
DIDN'T WE ALL 🤩
As a man I’ve never seen anything hotter tbh
And it made me straight lol
@@sasha-ii7ql 😂😂
dianna agron was in the audience😳🥵
Underrated song, underrated album.
this song is so underrated and it's my favorite of the album
Mine too I think for me it because it hit me at home because my little sister play the sax in middle school band and high school , I remember going to game watch her play.
The end is my favorite. Love the instruments
Same here. It plays thousand times when i listen to it
Mine too!
laarson me too! I think it’s very relatable to people in long term relationships. Love love love this song
Lenny Pickett's sax solo at 1:40 is utterly sublime. Totally transforms the whole performance. TS knows it. Bravo.
You must listen to Brendon Ross's instrumental cover of these song... Its mind blowing
when you think one is not your fav song, she comes with a live performance and makes you change you mind.
03:37 I LITERALLY FELT THE HEAVEN
I'm happy she sang this live, but I'm still waiting for Cruel Summer and Corneila street😻
Maggie telles she already sang Cornelia Street live.
The man ? miss americana and the heartbreak prince ?
Aiman Sahouli I want Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince, Cruel Summer and The Man to be one of her next single coz if not I’m suing. I’m still made that I Did Something Bad was not a single and Don’t Blame Me but we get what we get
@@ryann_connors17 I LOVE I did something bad. I want all the songs lol
@@aimansahouli8103 I want them all lol
I'm so excited to see Taylor performing Afterglow
YES
Well in my opinion not really, sorry
She'll have me crying
@@anhmai8369 well no one asked for your opinion, sorry.
me too😭😭😭
One of my favorite Taylor's performances ever. The stage, the lights, the performers, the saxophone, the song itself. Gives me chill everytime I watch it. So intense.
Let's talk about the live band. They are so brilliant. They added a new, but a better flavour to the song. They are so amazing. Let's applause them. Geniuses.
As a jazz listener, this is the best song I’ve ever heard from Taylor where she can sing in jazz style...
It's got that R&B sound too. I've always wanted more of her R&B vocals after hearing So It Goes... so this is a whole serve.
Yea I’m a jazz listener & performer. This was really cool! I’m a trumpet so I am trying to learn the solo in it’s nice to have a friend
@Sarah Barton NO
YAAAAAS! This and "Don't blame me" are the best vibe I've ever heard from Taylor
Terrible signing...u should be honest about that.
Why is no one talking about the amazing saxophone player in the comment section?
Turns out he's the band director for SNL and around since the 70s
Dude's a legend.
the sax is my fav part of the song!
Absolutely, he deserves to be mentioned and talked about. Who is he anyway? I like that he says so much and speaks so little. Fantastic man!
You're already talked about him :) hihi
This is one of my fave taylor performances ever.
👍
Same!!!!
This and the cmt red
My music player app everytime I open it: 0:04
Sameeee
I LOVE HOW EXTRA CONFIDENT SHE IS NOW YOURE DOING AMAZING QUEEN
She really is a queen👸👸👸
I’m glad she isn’t controlled by BMLG anymore she can freely upload performance vids on her channel!!!!
She even put up the whole album's official audio on CZcams for free 😭💜
Nice
I'm pretty sure Republic Records signees do get this benefit for all their artists.
Yup I'm so glad I can watch her full performances now😭😭❤️❤️
Aaliyah Foster they aren’t douchebags trying to dismantle her career. What Up Scooter?
So Taylor Swift’s parents named her after the great recording artist James Taylor. And wow! She has really owned up to that name. Her music is sublime, as she is already one of the greatest recording artists of all time. Immanuel!
3:32 omg that voice range
I love how pointed at the sax guy and her band.
Urghhh she's *The Man*
😂I see what ya did there😂
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Her band? Lenny Pickett is part of the Saturday Night Live house band. I don't know who's idea was it to put in those solos, but it was nice.
Say what you want about Taylor Swift, there's absolutely NO WAY anyone can deny this is musical creation at its highest level. The lyrics still Taylorish, talking about some sort of romance - this IS her style and it's always been and always will be - but even when the theme is similar, the way she talks about it keeps evolving as the years go by. In my opinion, this and Out of the Woods live and accoustic are her best performances ever, proof of her crazy talent to write, sing and even act accordingly to the song she's singing. Her success is not by chance whatsoever.
At its highest level? I’m pretty sure classical music is more complex to put together
@@ShoSho-cq7ct She is one of the few artists whose stuff will be played 200 hundred years from now and will be seen as classical music by that generation. Remember Mozart was considered trash by many of that time..
@@ShoSho-cq7ct perspectives change over time, people only appreciate what they no longer possess.
'Musical creation at its highest level' hahahaha.
The grammy acoustic of OOTW!! YESS!! I finally found someone who appreciates that cover 🤩💕
I hate how underrated this song is
Taylor is amazing but can we also appreciate the saxophone player? He did fantastic, I loved his solo moment!
One of the best and most underrated songs on Lover 💗
Jaclyn lockwood the album literally was released 2 minutes ago. Too soon to make such statement
@@oritbc4578 it was released several weeks ago..
Abigail Grace it’s a figure of speech 🤦♂️
@@oritbc4578 I thought that might've been it, but I think it's pretty easy by this point to see which ones are more popular than others...just a personal opinion 😉
Abigail Grace 🙋♀️
The 'eh' sound makes it 100X better.
Ikr..one of the reasons this is my favourite song
What "eh"??
@@sparkledaulat1814 the sax sounds like ehs lol
@@karyncobra5989 ok I get it now and it better
@@karyncobra5989 no..there were background singers for that part
I love this song by Taylor, for me she should explore more of these more R&B musicalities in her albums, it would be perfect!
Otherwise she is great live in a song that is not at all easy to sing!
This is the same guy sitting in the back with a saxophone during her snl monologue 10 years ago.. crazyyy
3:37 Queen with her vocals and right after the sax CHILLS
ughhhhhhhhhhhh
I love how at the end she appreciates the people who helped her with the sound
That part reminded me of how she does this on her tour and it literally warms my heart!
am i ever getting over this performance? i will be in my deathbed thinking about this.
The way this performance lives rent free in my brain.
Ten years ago Taylor was here please performing her monologue and here she is now...... ARTIST OF THE DECADE
💛
GLOW UP OF THE DECADE
I bet she WILL be talking about this in her monologue
I want her to host SNL again. She has great comedic timing
@@missmarreynolds or maybe not 😂
I'm a 42 year old guy & Pink Floyd has been my favorite band for years. I've got to say Taylor Swift really is a genius...
As if your opinion was more valid for being a 42 year old man who likes pink floyd
@Annika Stolpestad well, judging by the way he wrote that, didn't seem like it... What was the purpose of mentioning that he's a male and he's 42 years old? He could've just said he's a hardcore Pink Floyd fan and leave it there
@@nilssjoberg8437 I think it was just a subtle comment on how he is outside her typical fan base of young females. Perhaps he had an idea of her music based on her targeted demographic but surprised himself when he dived into her discography. I applaud him for his open-mindedness.
Fake comment lol
@@nilssjoberg8437 I'm sorry for your brain troubles..
Love how she grooves with the sax player.
Best song on Lover. This performance was/is a blessing.
Wow. The saxophonist though. I really FELT it. It was exquisite. Thats what saxophone should sound like.
1:20 "The altar is my hips" and the way she moved her suit gIRL I-
My sexuality is TS flicking her jacket back while singing about hips
THE VIBE IS REAL on this song.
THE WAY SHE LITERALLY FINGERS THE AIR PLS
HAHHAHAHA
She's pretty wise, this song actually fit the show and saxophone. Honey, you're born to shine.
She respects every musician. In fact everyone. Such a sweet person she is but I can't understand why people hate her. She's a perfect role model, pal and inspiration.
Lots of love❤💕💕.
Right!?! Its so sweet of her to always acknowledge the people on stage with her
People are just naturally insecure
They hate her because of the image media has built about her.
She's so talented and such an amazing person.
She just doesn't deserve all the hate people throw at her.
They hate her because she is perfect in every way and they aren’t. They are jealous
Its how manufactured her public persona is. I dig her, but aside from the chauvinist pigs who should just be ignored, for most its the falseness. Like how everyone was talking constantly about her exes (because she wrote a ton of songs about them) so she basically created the lena dunham girl group out of thin air.
one of my favorite songs ever. taylor is the genius you need to make you feel things
An absolute hidden gem from Lover, astonishing song, incredibly underrated.
The guys shouting “OH!!” and ferociously clapping at the end is me
You said what everybody was thinking 🤣
Taylor should've included the sax solo part into the song!!!!!
lol
@@shera1402 we- 💀💀💀
True! It would've spiced up the song much more than it already is, but it's still my favorite song on the Lover album so it's okay lmao
How is no one talking about the lights all over the place? It’s absolutely majestic!
best snl perfermance to ever exist by taylor
Other singer: High note is everything!!!
Taylor: *use low note
Taylor's vocals were not low in this it's mostly the 4th octave.
K A R T H I K well, we talking 'bout she use low note. Not about how low her note in this...
I agree. I also love high notes but my voice aren't high for that to make. Like Michael Jackson. I love his song but when I sing it, i make it a lil bit lower. Taylor's voice is everything! She knows how to balance the notes.
Love this one too... can't recall if there has ever been a Taylor song I didn't love.
Awwwe. Love you!
Lynn Moorhead yeahhhhh
I'm on the same boat, this song it's like SO IT GOES from Reputation, very underrated yet one of the best songs on each album (Reputation and Lover).
@@AngelPerez-yn1vj Miss Americana sounds more like So It Goes IMO :)
Kathleen Hermoso And both of them are Track 7 hehe
She has a GORGEOUS voice!!!! This is one of my favorite songs!
she could tap into jazz anytime in the future with an album and i would still be keen to listen :)
She's feeling it. Like REALLY feeling it.
"I can't talk to you when youre like this, staring out the window like I'm not your favorite town, I'm New York city"
She's pure genius songwriter, aint it?
Anthony Alexander i dont get this lone. help me bro
*lines
@@imanilyas4115 it basically means that newyork is their favorite city just like Taylor is his favorite thing ....and he starring out meaning he isnt impressed by the city or Taylor anymore.....
Best in the business.
NO
It’s been years and I just keep coming back for more.
Im gonna tell you something guys, i did not stand Taylor but since she released evermore I listened to the album and her other albums and I think she is absolutely amazing and I consider myself as a swiftie
Why didn't you like her before??
Evermore is my favourite album
@@deveshadhikari716 media
They just paint her in all of the grey colors
They show her like how she is in blank space which is also an inspiration from them
Reputation did this to me, she was never on my radar and then I was dragged to the reputation tour , and yea I’m a swiftie
Wow, so polished, so elegant, SO New York, and yet definitively Taylor. Loved this performance
This song doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and it shows
the fact that dianna was there just makes everything better
Argon? Wdym
So true. Imagine her reaction!
I'm stock with this comment
@@Cutiemaan they dated
@@Maria-gj8lc no they didnt and they literally haven't been seen together in like a decade.. this song is not ab her lmfao
for the first time in my life, i feel song is expensive. THIS ONE, THIS SONG, THIS PERFORMANCE ARE EXPENSIVE,PRICEY. i feel like my ears cannot afford this song like its too expensive,luxurious
Does anyone else get overwhelmed by how incredible she is
ME! ALWAYS!
ME!
me on a daily basis
Yes
Me. All the time really.
That moment when she finishes her song and points to her back up singers and the guitarist shows how much respect she has for her team !! 💕💖
She's such an incredible live performer - so emotionally present.
That staccato was just wow! Her vocals have improved so much! And I love her storytelling too- it feels more like a story as opposed to general pop/ country.
She is such a lady. She can do anything. Too much talent in one scene, because the saxophone player was just amazing.
didnt know this song could be SEXIER until that damn sax solo at 1:40. DAMN sir
dianna agron in the audience is so chaotic
why?
@@carmel8440 many swifties believe they used to date and this song and performance were extremely gay so
is she actually in the audience omg
@@sylviehoward3156 Yeah she was, when I found out I was like, is karlie there too it can be a reunion
@@user-zo9wb6cr1j OHHHHH I WAS SO CONFUSED LMAOOO.. that makes sense why everyone kept commenting that now

She should wear this kind of outfit more often, it suits her perfectly🤩
did you just-- I--
@@yzhassan2606 i dont understand, my english is not the best, did i say something bad?
@@puchipu2509 I think they were just referring to the pun. The suit 'suits' her perfectly
@@Simmi_ okay hahahahaha thanks
she looks so gay in this outfit
her sexiest song so far and no one can tell me otherwise
Along with Dress
watching in 2022 still DYING over the sax performance! Taylor and jazz!!!! IM OBSESSEDDDD
Lyrically, this song is too sophisticated, mature and deep to gain insight into...in the realm of my own limited comprehension, I am not prepared to fully understand it but the live singing I enjoyed immensely as a 1st time listener.....This song for me would require another listening and hopefully a more vivid view of the picture painted by her heartfelt words....
anyone can explain the meaning of these lyrics pls? english is not my first language🥲
Can I just say how happy to see people like you? So open minded and authentic, I salute you
Idk why it makes me feel like I’m dressed up and having a formal dinner in a posh restaurant (probably outdoor) while in a corner under a beautiful intricately designed pavilion, a band plays this tune.
YES
She’s so talented and effortlessly captivating. She can grab the attention of everyone in the room; better than anyone I’ve ever seen
Apparently not everyone..im more interested in comments than her weak vocals 🤣
true
Auntie Snixx She doesn't come anywhere close to the attention grabbing charisma that is (was) the Beatles.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse no one cares shut up. This is a Taylor Swift video
Then you aint seen much lol
one of my favourite taylor swift songs
the talent this girl has 🛐
