Blank Page

A Parody of: Blank Space by Taylor Swift

Dedicated to the Harvard College Debating Union
Written in 2015 with Nick O'Connor

Nice to meet you
Where've you been?
I could show you amazing rounds
Logic, charisma, vigor, flow
You saw me there and I thought "I got it all"
Look at that case, you look like my next 28
Debate's a game, wanna play?

New Harvard, sweater holes
You can read me like a magazine
Ain't it funny rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's debate
I'm dying to see how this round ends
Grab a flow pad and some pens
I can make a bad case good for a weekend ;)

So it's gonna be a 5-0?
Or it's gonna go down in flames?
By the MG it's over
Was the LO worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-partners
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the collapses
And you hate to lose!

Cause we're young and we're reckless
We've driven way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a broken car
Got a long list of ex-partners
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank page baby
And I'll write a case

Estate taxes
Judicial duels
I can talk about ridiculous things
Signing statements, private ex
You're the king baby I regret
To have then declared
Independence for so long
But the best is yet to come
OH. YEAH.

Screaming, crying, malevolent moon!
I can make all the arguments turn
U-ganda, S-E-C
Keep you second guessing like what the f#ck
Is that a trap?! I got drunk, I lost my flow
But we come back each time we speak
'Cause darling we're a nightmare dressed like a daydream

Yale only wants TOTY if it's easy
Don't say we didn't say we didn't warn ya
Yale only wants TOTY if it's easy
Don't say we didn't say we didn't warn ya
