    Lyrics :
    Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
    You know that I caught it
    Bad, bad boy
    Shiny toy with a price
    You know that I bought it
    Killing me slow, out the window
    I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
    Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
    What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
    And it's new, the shape of your body
    It's blue, the feeling I've got
    And it's ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
    No rules in breakable heaven
    But ooh, whoa oh
    It's a cruel summer
    With you
    Hang your head low
    In the glow of the vending machine
    I'm not dying
    You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
    We're not trying
    So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
    I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
    Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
    And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know
    Oh, it's new, the shape of your body
    It's blue, the feeling I've got
    And it's ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
    No rules in breakable heaven
    But ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    With you
    I'm drunk in the back of the car
    And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
    Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
    I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
    And I snuck in through the garden gate
    Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
    And I screamed for whatever it's worth
    "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
    He looks up grinning like a devil
    It's new, the shape of your body
    It's blue, the feeling I've got
    And it's ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
    No rules, in breakable heaven
    But ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    With you
    I'm drunk in the back of the car
    And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
    Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
    I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

    As a Swiftie, this is the first time I'm hearing of Teddy Swims. So glad he covered Taylor's song which led me to discover him. BRB and going to listen to his other songs now!!! He has gained a new fan!

    @parabenfreeeee2479 Год назад +76

    Okay, TS' songs are super hard to sing sometimes and this is especially true when it comes to Cruel Summer. So this is such an amazing cover bc the Cruel Summer vibe is still there, but he definitely was able to make his own rendition. I love it so much!

      But people who cover her songs aren’t necessarily telling HER stories, they can tell their own story with the cover. That’s what we as listeners do as well; when we hear a song, we create our own interpretation of it.

    Do a good TS cover is truly a challenge and most people don´t really capture the essence of the song, but this was pretty good cover, he kept main essence of the song and put his own spin on it which is necessary for a good cover. Great job Teddy.

    Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
    You know that I caught it
    Bad, bad boy
    Shiny toy with a price
    You know that I bought it
    Killing me slow, out the window
    I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
    Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
    What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
    And it's new, the shape of your body
    It's blue, the feeling I've got
    And it's ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
    No rules in breakable heaven
    But ooh, whoa oh
    It's a cruel summer
    With you
    Hang your head low
    In the glow of the vending machine
    I'm not dying
    You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
    We're not trying
    So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
    I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
    Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
    And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know
    Oh, it's new, the shape of your body
    It's blue, the feeling I've got
    And it's ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
    No rules in breakable heaven
    But ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    With you
    I'm drunk in the back of the car
    And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
    Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
    I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
    And I snuck in through the garden gate
    Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
    And I screamed for whatever it's worth
    "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
    He looks up grinning like a devil
    It's new, the shape of your body
    It's blue, the feeling I've got
    And it's ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
    No rules, in breakable heaven
    But ooh, whoa, oh
    It's a cruel summer
    With you
    I'm drunk in the back of the car
    And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
    Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
    I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
    And I snuck in through the garden gate
    Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
    And I screamed for whatever it's worth
    "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
