《dust》的詞曲由美國藝術家兼歌手Taylor Swift完成,其歌詞如下:
Oh-oh, oh-oh
The shadow I leave will follow me,
In the dark I can't tell you what's me or what's dust,
So let the light from the window fade,
Oh, I won't cry, I won't break,
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm a shooting star, I'm a flash in the dark,
So many times that I took you for granted,
I apologize for all the wrong that I've done,
Oh, you ain't heard, 'til I've said it aloud,
Chorus:
This dust, it won't settle,
Not even when the sun comes up,
Oh, I can't love you enough to clear all this dust,
So let it cloud up,
Cloud up the truth,
Cloud up the sun and rain.
Oh-oh, oh-oh
This time around, there won't be no fussing and oohing and ahing,
So I hope you like this new version of me now,
This ain't where we're meant to be now,
Oh, don't ask why I never answered your calls or responded to emails or texts.
Chorus:
I thought about apologizing for the less than wonderful ways,
The butterfly-like feels in your face when I give up my name.
So baby please don't let me down.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Bridge:
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you know I was a little lost in the dark.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, don't want you to see my face anymore.
I won't be long now, my story's all laid out.
But dust don't settle so easily.
Chorus:
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, it won't be easy to clear all this dust.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I ain't seen the sun and rain yet.
