and thats the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings

and longing stares

theyre born from just one single glance but they die,

and they die,
and they die, a million little times

leave the perfume on the shelf,

that you picked out just for him
so you leave no trace behind,
like you dont even exist
take the words for what they are
a dwindling mercurial high
a drug that only worked

the first few hundred times

My all time favorite Taylor swift song. When I listen to this song I feel in captured in it. The music is so flawless and I love the lyrics even though I don't really relate to it. I listen to this song every single night which is 353 times on Spotify which doesn't count for the times I've listened to it on my record player, other people's phones, and other music platforms. Although I listen to this song all the time I NEVER have gotten sick of it which is weird cause I get sick of songs easily. I just love this song. The small background details, acoustics, live performance, the delivery and emotion of the bridge, and of course the IMMACULATE vocals make this such a beautiful song. Favorite on Folklore, favorite on her discography I love this song.
Hey what's your favorite song on folklore?
Oh definitely illicit affairs!
