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.
Seems like the other day
My baby, he went away
He went away across the sea
It's been two years ago
That's when my baby go
That's when this letter it came to me
He said that we were through
He'd found somebody new
Oooh, let me think
Oooh, let me think
What can I do?
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no no no no no
Walking in the sand
Walking hand in hand
The night was so exciting
His lips were so inviting
Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew
The boy who said he'd be true
What will happen to
The life I gave to you
What will I do with my heart now
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
My baby, he went away
He went away across the sea
It's been two years ago
That's when my baby go
That's when this letter it came to me
He said that we were through
He'd found somebody new
Oooh, let me think
Oooh, let me think
What can I do?
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no no no no no
Walking in the sand
Walking hand in hand
The night was so exciting
His lips were so inviting
Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew
The boy who said he'd be true
What will happen to
The life I gave to you
What will I do with my heart now
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand
(Remember) walking in the sand
