"Still alive, killing time at the cemetery
Never quite buried"
"Who's gonna stop us from waltzing
Back into rekindled flames?
If we know the steps anyway"
This is giving heavy "Style" vibes specifically if the "never quite buried" because they come back every time.
"Holy Ghost, you told me I'm
The love of your life"
"Stitching, "We were just kids, babe"
"Dancing phantoms on the terrace"
"We're not who we used to be"
"We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat"
"Stitching, "We were just kids, babe"
The fact she uses stitching seem honestly random to the point I feel like she definitely added it to indicate his stiches/aka "Out Of The Woods".
Obvious, "love of my life" reference:
"Baby, you were the love of my life"
"You said I'm the love of your life"
"Who's gonna tell me the truth
When you blew in with the winds of fate?
And told me I reformed you
When your impressionist paintings of Heaven
Turned out to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell, too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
But I felt a hole like this
Never before, and ever since"
"You cinephile in black and white"
This whole thing feels like more of a jab at young Harry, he was known as a playboy and he kept playing with her heart. At some point he told her she'd "changed him" because he just wanted her. The talks of paintings, ink bleeding and the "never before, and ever since" all screams at me a mixture of "the rest of the World was black and white but we were in screaming color" and then "Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?" from the male's POV in Coney Island as well as "you've taught me a secret language and you showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else". Also how Harry's entire feed was B&W for a long time on Instagram before 1989 release.
"Mr. Steal Your Girl, then make her cry"
I mean 1D has a song called "Steal My Girl" as well as the fact I do believe he "stole" her from Calvin and probably Joe at some points.
"'Cause something counterfeit's dead"
"Should've let it stay buried"
"A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme"
Both of these give Cowboy Like Me Vibes
