The fountain dried up years ago
Now the youth is dying slow
This old truck can't escape the place I'm from
My home looks like a gun
My home looks like a gun
We cover up but our minds rot in the sun

That's why I walked away
From the bridges that pierce the southern sky
The sunshine state is waiting to die, waiting to die

Just pretend we've never met
I'm not ready for it yet
My mouth is dry, the interior's soaking wet
If I forget I'll want to stay
If I forget I'll want to stay
Just pop the trunk and I'll be on my way

Make the drop-off in Gainesville tomorrow night
Put down our feral love before we say goodbye
The sunshine state is waiting to die, waiting to die

Put the cash in my hand
Put the gun back in your pants
Put the car into gear
Drive our love away from here
Put the past in the ground
These everglades are haunted and I want them to burn down

I'll take local roads to the Georgia line
Those ghouls will take whatever you supply
The sunshine state is waiting to die, waiting to die
Don't know why we even try

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.
