Anthem Lights' cover of Taylor Swift's 'Out of the Woods' reimagines the pop hit with a Christian perspective, using the metaphor of emerging from a dark forest to describe spiritual deliverance and relief. The song reflects on past struggles and the moment of clarity when God's presence becomes evident, turning fears into mere shadows. It captures the longing for assurance and the peace that comes from trusting in God's faithfulness through trials. The repeated question 'Are we out of the woods yet?' becomes a prayer for breakthrough and a testimony of hope, emphasizing that even in uncertainty, God is guiding and sustaining.

[Chorus 2x:]
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet?
Good
Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking�?�
[Chorus 2x]
Looking at it now
Last December (last December)
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided (we decided)
To move the furniture so we could dance,
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinkin'
[Chorus 2x]
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
When you started cryin', baby, I did, too
But when the sun came up, I was lookin' at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out and said, "I'm settin' you free,"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
And when the sun came up, you were lookin' at me
You were lookin' at me
You were lookin' at me
I remember
[Chorus 4x]
