He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
[Chorus]
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
[Chorus]
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
[Chorus]
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
[Chorus]
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

Taylor Swift told That's Country the story of this song: "I got this idea for a song about being in a relationship with a nice guy who is punctual and opens up the door for you and brings you flowers... but you feel nothing. The whole time you're with him, you're thinking about the guy who was complicated and messy and frustrating. So I brought that idea, the title and where I thought the song should go to John. He was able to relate to it because he is that complicated, frustrating messy guy in his relationships. We came at the song from different angles. It was just so cool to get in a room and write with him because he really is an incredible writer."
He lived in the United Kingdom so it was a jet lag. But we loved each other so much. We'd stay up all throughout the night talking to each other. Sometimes I didn't get sleep for my college classes. I'd text him during class when he'd got out of work. We both had depression but when we were together we promised to never be sad and never to hurt ourselves again. It worked. It was the best 6 months I've ever had. We both started talking about were we wanted to live because we both didn't like were we live. We both said Australia. I said it as a joke because I can't stand the sun. But we both agreed to it. We'd one day meet and move there. We both have a creative mind so we daydreamed about our life together. Meeting each other for the first time. Having kids. Which would look like who. Having a cute dog and a tire swing connected to a big tree next to a house with a big porch. Everything was descriptive. Everything was perfect. I was so high up in love I didn't suspect anything wrong. One day something happened and I don't what started it. He changed and got angry. After 30 minutes of him arguing he dumped me.
30 minutes of him yelling. 30 minutes of confusion. 30 minutes of tears. 30 minutes of the last time I'd hear or see his face again. 30 minutes. Gone
That was it. I was heart broken for a year and a half. For some reason even when I don't know the date I still get depressed whenever it's the 28th because that's the day we met.
I miss staying up till 7am and struggling to stay awake in class. Texting him during classes. Being weird and fun whenever we video chatted. I miss those memories. I miss him so much. I don't know what went wrong. I feel haunted by him at times..
Anyway this song is pretty easy to find the meaning.
A girl can't get over an ex boyfriend. No matter what. His image still haunts her.
The second is her ex, who wasn't perfect at all. Their relationship was full of fighting and anger but it was also full of passion and excitement (Its a roller coaster kind of rush).
She feels that although her new boyfriend is perfect they have no connection so she has to fake her happiness. (He can't see the smile I'm faking and my heart's not breaking cause I'm not feeling anything at all)
I love this song because I have been in a similar situation so I know exactly how it feels <3
chorus- second person, "You"
underlined by the music
verse calm
chorus "wild and crazy"
for me she chosed this use of pronouns on purpose where i come to that she sings about two boys in my opinion
only thing confusing me is the "are" in "you're so in love that you act insane"- if shes singin'bout her ex there should be somethin like "you WERE" - But you were hasnt a shortform.. wouldn't fit in speed and so on.. my argument: artistic lisence ;)
it's about two guys!
