We never mentioned this part
The first time you asked me to call
you didn't say you'd stop
hanging out so soon
And I wish I wasn't such a bore
you never said it'd be this tough to forget that you existed So lets get on the highway
and drive through this town at eighty
cause I wanna
just get away

I must of missed it when you told me
I'd be up late nights wondering
where was I? I guess not around
just like you.
So lets get on the highway
and drive through this town at eighty
cause I wanna
just get away
And hopefully someday we'll find a better answer
than maybe but it's tough to say
just when I'll get away.

Get away
Get away
Get away
Get away
Get away

So lets get on the highway
and drive through this town at eighty
cause I wanna,
just get away.
And hopefully someday we'll find a better answer
than maybe but it's tough to say
just when I'll get away.

    Yet to see these guys live, but i love this song. They are from around her and a lot of kids have met them. I just missed them at warped tour. TO bad they changed there name and kicked out the singer.

    They're going on a US tour but aren't playing MA, their home state!!! Oh well im gonna see them in NY. Anyways I agree about the meaning of this song. He's jsut broke up with a girl and realizing he didn't know he'd miss her so much (be up late nights wondering) and that things just wouldn't be the same (you didn't say you'd stop hanging out so soon)

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
