one of my favorite things on the album is the equality in the relationship in different ways that she shows through parallels
“you’ll save all your dirtiest jokes for me/and at every table i’ll save you a seat”
“i am an architect, i’m drawing up the plans, it’s like i’m 17 nobody understands” / “he’s so obsessed with me and boy i understand“
“you know i had a long night”/”i know you had a long night”
“i waited my whole life”/”you waited your whole life”
“i love a london boy” / “he likes my american smile”
“i can’t talk to you when you’re like this”/”you can’t talk to me when i’m like this”
“i’m new york city”/”you’re the west village”
“i still do it for you, babe”/”you still do it for me, babe”
“i’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me”/”you’re the only one of you, baby that’s the fun of you”
“maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down/maybe i’ve stormed out of every single room in this town”
i love it because i feel like on taylor’s earlier albums, a lot of the times she would describe her relationships as her being more into them, or she was the crazy one, or the other way around. she doesn’t have that many songs where she describes a relationship as being on equal footing, but now we have a whole album full of them, and it’s good to know her relationship is so balanced
