Teardrops On My Guitar - Taylor Swift - American Sign Language

Song: Teardrops On My Guitar© by Taylor Swift from her self-titled album (owned by Big Machine Records, released in the U.S. on February 24, 2007). [Radio Mix version]

Notes: Ah me. I'm not a TS fan (don't get me wrong; I respect her and all that, just not my cup of tea, you know?); this is for my sister, because she is. :) Love you, Liz!

Fun Fact: This is my most interpretive video so far; very little of the song was translated directly (i.e., don't try to use this for reference). (I'm not even going to comment on what I "said" in the beginning xD)

{Lyrics + GLOSS (NEW!):}
Drew looks at me
(I SEE BOY I LIKE, LOOK-AT-ME)
I fake a smile so he won't see
(I FAKE SMILE, PRETEND HAPPY, BUT INSIDE)
That I want and I'm needing
(FEEL SAD, WANT HIM)
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful
(HE TALK ABOUT ANOTHER GIRL)
That girl he talks about
(PRETTIER THAN ME)
And she's got everything that I have to live without!
Drew talks to me
(HE TALK TO ME)
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
(WE TOGETHER, CAN'T SEE OTHER PEOPLE)
That I can't even see
(FUNNY, LAUGH)
Anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love
(HE LOVE OTHER GIRL SO MUCH)
He's finally got it right
(FEEL RIGHT)
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night!
(TONIGHT I WILL THINK ONLY ABOUT HIM)
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
(REASON FOR TEARS ON MY GUITAR (WHAT?)-- HIM)
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
(REASON I CONTINUE WISHING ON STAR-- HIM)
He's the song in the car I keep singing
(REASON I CONTINUE LOVE HIM?)
Don't know why I do
(DON'T KNOW, BUT I CAN'T STOP)
Drew walks by me
(HE [MOVES PAST ME])
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
(HOPE HE NOT SEE I CAN'T BREATHE)
And there he goes, so perfectly
(HE GOES, PERFECT)
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
(I FALL-IN-LOVE, WISH I CAN BE SAME (AS HIM).)
She'd better hold him tight
(HOPE OTHER GIRL LOVE HIM)
Give him all her love
((I HOPE) HE HAPPY)
Look in those beautiful eyes, and know she's lucky 'cause...!
((THAT) ALL I WANT FOR HIM BECAUSE)
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
(REASON FOR TEARS ON MY GUITAR (WHAT?)-- HIM)
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
(REASON I CONTINUE WISHING ON STAR (WHAT?)-- HIM.)
He's the song in the car I keep singing
(REASON I CONTINUE LOVE HIM?)
Don't know why I do
(DON'T KNOW, BUT I CAN'T STOP)
So I drive home alone
(I DRIVE, ARRIVE HOME)
As I turn out the light
(FEEL SAD, ALONE)
I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight!
(BECAUSE HIS PICTURE ALL I CAN HAVE)
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
(REASON FOR TEARS ON MY GUITAR (WHAT?)-- HIM)
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
(ONLY PERSON WHO CAN BREAK MY HEART (WHAT?)-- HIM)
He's the song in the car I keep singing
(REASON I CONTINUE LOVE HIM?)
Don't know why I do
(DON'T KNOW, BUT I CAN'T STOP)
He's the time taken up
But there's never enough!
(HIS PICTURE NOT ENOUGH)
And he's all that I need to fall into
(I NEED HIM)
Drew looks at me
(I SEE BOY I LIKE, LOOK AT ME)
I fake a smile so he won't see...
(I FAKE SMILE, PRETEND HAPPY, BUT INSIDE...)

I think ASL is beautiful. I dont understand most of the things becasue I a in 6t grade and my sister that is a jr in high school doesnt teach me a lot of it. My other sister is older than me and doesnt know how to talk. And I want to learn ASL sooo bad:) I love this video I watch it all the time:)
