this morning am also obsessed with “you and I go from one kiss to getting married” because one interpretation of it is a whirlwind romance, jumping in feet first consequences be damned (the “one glimpse” of it all), but another is just about how quickly the years go by. One day you’re kids caught up in the rush of new love, the next it’s a decade later and you have a whole life together. The years may be long but they also go by in the blink of an eye and there’s a whole lot of life that happens in between that feels like it flew by and slipped through your fingers (the “I gave you all that youth for free” of it all). It just says so much in such a simple phrase.
people who weren’t part of the fandom pre-swearing freely taylor will never understand how shocking ‘if a man talks shit then I owe him nothing’ was at the time
