And I know everything about you, I don't wanna live without you...
Often I relate to parts of a song, a line that really cuts me to my core, a phrase that captures a part of me. This song hits different though. For the first time I feel like the whole song reflects me. I don’t know what it means to be “paintin’ pictures in the sky" with someone, but also… I do. An abstract concept but I get the vision of what it would be to me and it sounds perfect. Sitting with someone and not having to say anything but still being comfortable together is absolutely the love I dream about. Knowing each other and still choosing each other is all I ever wanted.
Being that open with somebody else take real vulnerability, and I’ve always wanted to find myself with someone who could hold that vulnerable part of me. I also always wanted to be able to hold the vulnerable parts of someone else.
When I listened to this song I wrote my husbands name at the top. So many of Taylor’s songs don’t really make me think of my husband, because the relationship ends or is really confusing. Even some of the love songs that end well just don’t feel like they represent our story. Listening to this song was the first time I could see us in a song. I’m interested to see as I continue on through her discography where I see the love story that unfolded for me comes up. Until then I’m thankful that the love I have allows me to be 100% me.
...and you know everything about me, you say that you can't live without me.
I love Taylor Swift’s music and have a deep curiosity about who it is so meaningful to so many people. If you have any thoughts about this song in particular please share it in the comments below so that me and the Swiftie community that finds this space can enjoy your insights.
