@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
The street lights start to come on
I know that it's time
Stop what you're doin'
Meet those drinkin' friends of mine
First guy that called me on the telephone
Said get on down but I'm stayin' at home
Now I believe in love
I believe that it's true
That I'm defenseless
When I'm lookin' at you
Sleepy eyes on an angel's face
Don't worry, baby
No one's gonna take your place
*The closer you get the better you look
Throw me a line
The closer you get the more that I see
We'll sure have a good time
Now I know what you're thinkin'
How do I feel
Well there's no rules in my book
Said the closer you get
Oh the better you took
Keepin' one foot on the showroom
One on the side
I've had some close ones
But I'm doin' all right
There's gold on his fingers
It don't mean a thing
He'll do his best
To hear this sweet lady sing
I've got the time if you got the place
We've got the know how
If you got the space
We've got the power, we've got no shame
Come over, baby
Sure do wanna light your flame, you know
* repeat
I know that it's time
Stop what you're doin'
Meet those drinkin' friends of mine
First guy that called me on the telephone
Said get on down but I'm stayin' at home
Now I believe in love
I believe that it's true
That I'm defenseless
When I'm lookin' at you
Sleepy eyes on an angel's face
Don't worry, baby
No one's gonna take your place
*The closer you get the better you look
Throw me a line
The closer you get the more that I see
We'll sure have a good time
Now I know what you're thinkin'
How do I feel
Well there's no rules in my book
Said the closer you get
Oh the better you took
Keepin' one foot on the showroom
One on the side
I've had some close ones
But I'm doin' all right
There's gold on his fingers
It don't mean a thing
He'll do his best
To hear this sweet lady sing
I've got the time if you got the place
We've got the know how
If you got the space
We've got the power, we've got no shame
Come over, baby
Sure do wanna light your flame, you know
* repeat

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.
