It's about a person who doesn't really know how great they are.
When she says
"I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay..."
It means that the "extra change" is love, and the person is giving it all away. The person loves someone but they don't love them back. "leaves you out like a penny in the rain".

Its a great song.

It was about Taylor's friend who suffered of bulimia. I read it on her official fan site here it is:

Today's Fan Question: "You wrote "Tied Together With a Smile" about a friend who suffers from anxeoria. Would you ever want to raise funds for eating disorder awareness by using your talent?" Brittany MacNealy, Starkville, MS

Taylor: That is a really good question. Yeah, I wrote the song "Tied Together With a Smile" the day after I found out that one of my best friends who, a little back story on her, she's gorgeous. All the guys want to date her and all the girls want to be her. She is literally a pageant queen. I wrote this song the day I found out that she was bulimic and, you know, that is one of those moments when your heart kinda stops. How can somebody that seems so strong have such a horrible, horrible weakness? Something that is killing her. Luckily, I have talked to her about it and she has gotten help and she is fine now.

Eating disorders affect people all over the country. I always thought that one of the biggest overlooked problems American girls face is insecurity. Whether insecurity spurs anxeoria or whether it spurs some other eating disorder or not liking yourself, suicide, or hurting other people. It is all based from insecurity, and not being OK with yourself. I think that if people could just be confident about who they are and what they stand for, I there would be fewer problems in the world. I would love to help out societies that help eating disorders. That is a really, really good question.

Fearless"

There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Oh yeah

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

So baby drive slow
'til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger's seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture it, remember it

Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

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.

Oh yeah
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

Yeah
I don't know how
Oh yeah yeah




"I don't know why but with you i'd dance in a storm in my best dress, Fearless." This is a verse from the song I picked called, "Fearless," by Taylor Swift. The specific verse I just used stuck out to me while reading,annotating and listening to this song. This verse stuck out to me because its the chorus of the song for one and for two I think that this verse really gets the whole point acrossed of what this song really is about. This specific verse is telling us that she has no fear when she is with this 'special someone' and she'll do anything cause her fears are no longer there because she is fearless when she is with him. This is the way I think because obviously she would not wear her best dress in a storm if she did or did not fear it because she doesn't fear anything as long as she's with him.
