Treacherous Lyrics

Cover art for Treacherous lyrics by Taylor Swift

To me, it sounds like she has a purely physical relationship with this guy - a booty call, if you will. She knows that there is no room for advancement with him, but she enjoys what they have together even if it's all that she will get.

"I'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand." - she knows that she would be better off with someone else that will actually give her the time of day, but there is something so addicting about this guy that she can't walk away from

"I can't decide if it's a choice, getting swept away." - in some ways, she got herself into this situation, she made the choice to continue it, but it feels beyond her control to keep it going, it's just natural to her.

"Two headlights shine through the sleepless nice, and I will, get you, get you alone." - she will drop everything to be with this guy, leave in the middle of the night if it means fulfilling what they can get from each other.

Everything culminating into one situation is pretty treacherous. She knows it's dangerous, there's the risk of her falling head over heels for this guy, but it's not something that is very easy for her to give up.
