    Wonderland by Taylor Swift



    Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we
    Fell down the rabbit hole
    You held on tight to me
    Cause nothing's as it seems
    Spinning out of control
    Didn't they tell us don't rush into things
    Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
    Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds
    Didn't it all seem new and exciting
    I felt your arms twisting around me
    I should've slept with one eye opened at night

    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever
    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And life was never worse but never better
    In wonderland
    In wonderland

    So we went on our way
    Too in love to think straight
    All alone or so it seemed
    But there were strangers watching
    And whispers turned to talking
    And talking turned to screams

    Didn't they tell us don't rush into things
    Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
    Didn't you call my fears with the cheshire cat's smile
    Didn't it all seem new and exciting
    I felt your arms twisting around me
    It's all fun and games 'til somebody loses their mind

    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever
    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And life was never worse but never better
    In wonderland
    In wonderland

    I reach for you
    But you were gone
    I knew I had to go back home
    You searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had
    And in the end in wonderland we both went mad

    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever
    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And life was never worse but never better
    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And we pretended it could last forever
    We found wonderland
    You and I got lost in it
    And life was never worse but never better

    In wonderland

    I chose this song since it really matches with the story. Alice fell in a rabbit hole and the she did find wonderland. She did get lost in Wonderland. So overall, I think this book has a great bonding with this song.
