What the artist means
There's no body found, so there's certainly no crime, right? Who did it, certainly not Taylor. She's crooning about sipping a glass of wine while so much chaos is going on around her. She's watching, observing, and counting down before she calls him out. She really thinks that he did it, just that she can't prove it just yet. She's crooning about him reporting his missing wife, his mistress moving in, and how it's a matter of time before he's caught. She's telling such a sordid story that doesn't seem to have a positive ending in sight. She's singing about how she learned how to cover up a crime scene, how she's aware of all the evil lurking, and how there's so much treachery on these streets.
What the song means to me
This song is a quintessential example of elite songwriting from one of the best to ever do it. She's painting an ultra-vivid picture of so many nasty crimes occurring, it's so real that you'd think she was present when everything was going down. She sounds crystal clear on the record; the production is superb as her voice doesn't get drowned out at any stage. She's doing lyrical sorcery, she's proving herself once again if though she doesn't need to, and she just crafted an almost flawless effort. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
