Taylor Swift’s lyrics relate able to quarantining/self-isolation and covid-19.
I’m just sitting here (picture to burn)
Even though I’m not the only one, who feels the way I do (a place in this world)
I’ve got nowhere to go, I tried to take the road less traveled by but nothing seems to work (the outside)
I’ve never been on the outside (the outside)
But no one notices until it’s too late to do anything (the outside)
You should’ve gone home (should’ve said no)
All there’s left to do is run (love story)
I’m in my room it’s a typical Tuesday night (you belong with me)
How’s life, tell me how’s your family? I haven’t seen them in a while (back to December)
You gave me roses and I left them there to die (back to December)
So if the chain is on your door, I understand (back to December)
So glad you were around (speak now)
I walk with my head down trying to block you out (mean)
Same old tired, lonely place (enchanted)
Dancing around all alone (enchanted)
Our lives would never be the same (long live)
The stakes are high, the waters rough (ours)
Put your lips close to mine as long as they don’t touch (treacherous)
I can’t decide if it’s a choice (treacherous)
Time won’t fly (all too well)
We’re happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time (22)
We hadn’t seen each other in a month (we are never getting back together)
And right before your eyes, I’m aching, run fast, nowhere to hide (the last time)
We had this big wide city all to ourselves (holy ground)
We both wake in lonely beds in different cities (sad beautiful tragic)
I know something now, know something now I didn’t before (everything has changed)
Turn the lock and put my headphones on (begin again)
It drives you crazy but you know you wouldn’t change anything (welcome to New York)
We’re young and we’re reckless (blank space)
It’ll leave you breathless (blank space)
Could end in burning flames or paradise (style)
And I should just tell you to leave (style)
All you had to do was stay (all you had to do was stay)
Got nothing in my brain (shake it off)
Stand back where you stood (I wish you would)
You live like that, you live with ghosts (bad blood)
I never dreamed of this (this love)
I know places we can hide (I know places)
There was nothing left to do (clean)
And life was never worse but never better (wonderland)
You can hear it in the silence, you can feel it on the way home, you can see it with the lights out (you’re in love)
We’re all bored, we’re all so tired of everything, we wait for trains that just aren’t coming (new romantics)
I don’t wanna touch you (endgame)
If you walk away I’d beg you on my knees to stay (don’t blame me)
Guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats, alone (gorgeous)
I was lying to myself (getaway car)
I live on my own (king of my heart)
I’m better off being alone (king of my heart)
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it, I had a bad feeling (dancing with our hands tied)
Our secret moments in your crowded room (dress)
Inescapable, I’m not even gonna try (dress)
I’m locking the gates (this is why we cant have nice things)
Making forts undercover (call it what you want)
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t and it was so nice, so peaceful and quiet (I forgot that you existed)
Killing me slow, out the window, I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below (cruel summer)
This is our place, we make the rules (lover)
Can we always be this close forever and ever? (lover)
All’s well that end well to end up with you (lover)
I ride off alone (the archer)
Who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay? (The archer)
It’s like I’m seventeen, nobody understands (I think he knows)
So where we gonna go? (I think he knows)
American glory faded before me (miss Americana and the heartbreak prince)
I saw the scoreboard and ran for my life (miss Americana and the heartbreak prince)
I counted days, I counted miles to see you there (miss Americana and the heartbreak prince)
It’s you and me that’s my whole world (miss Americana and the heartbreak prince)
Now I’ve read all of the books beside your bed (paper rings)
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe (paper rings)
Memorize the creaks in the floor (Cornelia street)
Barefoot in the kitchen sacred new beginnings that became my religion (Cornelia street)
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts (death by a thousand cuts)
I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not (death by a thousand cuts)
I dress to kill my time (death by a thousand cuts)
I didn’t tell you I was scared (soon you’ll get better)
I just pretend it isn’t real (soon you’ll get better)
Who am I supposed to talk to? What am I supposed to do (soon you’ll get better)
We were crazy to think crazy to think that this could work (false god)
Staring out the window (false god)
Tell me that we’ll be just fine (afterglow)
I never leave well enough alone (me)
Stay in bed the whole weekend (it’s nice to have a friend)
