Taylor looks back on her life after the split and shares how she craves a sense of normalcy.Īnd I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes 'Cause there we are again when I loved you soīack before you lost the one real thing you've ever known 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me Now you mail back my things and I walk home aloneīut you keep my old scarf from that very first week I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find itĪfter plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it In the third verse, Taylor reveals that her ex broke up with her because of an age gap when she should've been having fun for her 21st birthday. Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night showīut then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to comeĪnd he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one" You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Some actress asking me what happened, you You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fineĪ never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell Taylor calls out possible things that could've led to their split and how ending their relationship made her feel. I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here So casually cruel in the name of being honest Taylor uses this chorus to share more personal moments and reveals the pain she remembers after feeling like she was a secret.Īnd you call me up again just to break me like a promise You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator lightĪnd there we are again when nobody had to know 'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night She accuses her former partner of being unwilling to admit they were in love and reveals that her ex came back after their split, but it was too late. Taylor uses this verse to share deets about her experiences with her ex's family and the fun things they used to do together. He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it wasĬheck the pulse and come back swearing it's the sameĪnd then you wondered where it went to as I reached for youīut all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping townĪnd I was thinking on the drive down, any time now You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was meĪnd you were tossing me the car keys, "fuck the patriarchy" You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bedĪnd your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red She starts off acknowledging the disconnect with her lover, then reflects on a precious moment they shared. The pre-chorus and chorus follow Taylor as she goes through various emotions. You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me 'Causе there we arе again on that little town street The song opens with Taylor reflecting on how her love story began.Īnd I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all We're singing in the car, getting lost upstateĪutumn leaves falling down like pieces into placeĪnd I can picture it after all these days Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze I walked through the door with you, the air was coldīut something 'bout it felt like home somehowĪnd I left my scarf there at your sister's houseĪnd you've still got it in your drawer, even now
