10. “Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel / This love is difficult, but it’s real / Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess / It’s a love story, baby just say yes” – ‘Love Story’

9. “Our song is the way he laughs / The first date, man, I didn’t kiss him and I should have / And when I got home, ‘fore I said Amen / Asking God if He could play it again” - ‘Our Song’
8. “I should’ve been there in the back of your mind / I shouldn’t be asking myself why / You shouldn’t be begging for forgiveness at my feet / You should’ve said no, baby, and you might still have me” – ‘Should’ve Said No’

7. “Well you stood there with me in the doorway / My hands shake, I’m not usually this way / But you pull me in and I’m a little more brave / It’s the first kiss, it’s flawless, really something / It’s fearless” – ‘Fearless’

6. “If you’re missing me / You’d better keep it to yourself / ‘Cause coming back around here / Would be bad for your health” – ‘Picture to Burn’
5. “You’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town / I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down / You say you’re fine, I know you better than that / Hey, what ya doin’ with a girl like that?” - ‘You Belong With Me’
4. “I believe in whatever you do / And I’ll do anything to see it through / Because these things will change, can you feel it now? / These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down” – ‘Change’
3. “When you’re fifteen and your first kiss makes your head spin ’round / But in your life you’ll do greater things than dating the boy on the football team / But I didn’t know it at fifteen” – ‘Fifteen’
2. “Drew walks by me / Can he tell that I can’t breathe? / And there he goes so perfectly / The kind of flawless I wish I could be” – ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’
1. “This ain’t Hollywood, this is a small town / I was a dreamer before you went and let me down / Now it’s too late for you and your white horse, to come around” – ‘White Horse’
