Lover Lyric Interpretation

''We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January

This is our place, we make the rules

And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear

Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

Specifically in Lover, Taylor makes many "20" references possibly because it was published near 2020, summer of 2019

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out, and take me home

You're my, my, my, my lover

We could let our friends crash in the living room

This is our place, we make the call

And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you

I 've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)

You're my, my, my, my lover

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?

With every guitar string scar on my hand

Taylor has written many songs about her exes. It hurts to write them, and it leaves "scars". Though Taylor has many of these scars, she now knows that it is Delicate but will be Fearless and Speak Now as she watches it Begin Again. She is proud that she has made it this far.

I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue

''All's well that ends well to end up with you

Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover

And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me

And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

In "Sweeter Than Fiction", there is a lyric "This pain you thought would last forever and ever" and "This rain you thought would last forever and ever". Taylor also has a song called, "Forever and Always"

And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)

You're my, my, my, my

Oh, you're my, my, my, my ' 

Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover
