You spoon water like love and I will take it
If you can take it

This is how we know
This is how we go
This is how we know

I don't know what to say
When you're so far from me I can barely make you
I count two two three
Breathe two three

You spoon water like love and I will take it
If you can take it

You spin circle in verse and I will take it
If you can take it

This is how we go

Soft and slowly, don't you know me
Know I count two, I count for you
Given the thought I would have you again
I count two two three, breathe two three

You walk alone, you talk in code
It's a light I can't decipher
But eyes shut is somehow enough
Under trick lighting
Under trick eyelids

Given the thought I would have you again
I count two two three
Breathe two three

You spoon water like love and I will take it
If you can take it

This is how we know
This is how we go
This is how we know

    This whole time I thought he was singing, "You spill water like love." This makes more sense. I fell in love with them when I heard this song.

    somehow, the repetition in this song is what makes it so damn catchy.

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.
