What the artist means
The track starts with tender strings, she's crooning about being like the water that her lover sips through at night. She's crooning about how priceless she is, it's quite clear that he's going to be the one losing if he walks away. She's painting a picture of an erstwhile lover sneaking into their room at night, after messing up for another time. She's letting us know what she could do for love, as long as it is reciprocated. Life could be so simple if everyone keeps to their side of the bargain, the track also sees her arrange a meeting to trash out their issues once and for all. She's begging him to stay faithful, take her hand, and go home once and for all.
What the song means to me
The track is super soft, ultra-beautiful, and squeaky clean. It's a work of art that shows off Taylor's superb songwriting which is already looking like a superpower. She's crooning so effortlessly, riding the beat tantalizingly, and finding multiple pockets of space to work magic on the track. She's narrating a sordid ordeal, but you wouldn't notice how much pain she's going through because she has mastered the art of creating magic while going through turmoil. The track is contemplative, it makes me look deeper, and I couldn't have asked for a better opening track. I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
