22 Lyrical Reasons You'll Love Taylor Swift's "Lover"

I'm one of those people who's heard every single one of Taylor Swift's albums. When she released "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down" however, I was underwhelmed. "Lover," Swift's seventh full-length studio album, proved those first impressions wrong. Here are 22 lyrics that'll sell you on all the fun, sweet, sad, and loving sides of "Lover."

1. "It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference" --I Forgot That You Existed

2. "There's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear/Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?" --Lover

Giphy

3. "Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes/And if I bleed you'll be the last to know" --Cruel Summer

Giphy

4. "And I cut off my nose just the spite my face/Then I hate my reflection for years and years" --The Archer

Giphy

5. "I'm so sick of running as fast as I can/Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man" --The Man

Giphy

6. "And I scream 'For whatever it's worth/I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?'" --Cruel Summer

Giphy

7. "The whole school is rolling fake dice/You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes" --Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

Giphy

8. "I think he knows/He better lock it down/Or I won't stick around/'Cause good ones never wait" --I Think He Knows

Giphy

9. "Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand/Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans" --Death By A Thousand Cuts

Giphy

10. "They say home is where the heart is/But god, I love the English" --London Boy

Giphy

11. "My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue/All's well that ends well to end up with you" --Lover

Giphy

12. "This ultraviolet morning light below/Tells me this love is worth the fight" --Afterglow

Giphy

13. "Church bells ring, carry me home/Rice on the ground looks like snow" --It's Nice To Have A Friend

Giphy

14. "I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you/I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you" --Daylight

15. "They all warned us about times like this/They say the road gets hard and you get lost/When you're led by blind faith" --False God

Giphy

16. "Windows flung right open, autumn air/Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours/We bless the rains on Cornelia Street/Memorize the creeks in the floor" --Cornelia Street

Giphy

17. "I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings/...I hate accidents, except when we went from friends to this" --Paper Rings

Giphy

18. "I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky/I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try" --Soon You'll Get Better

Giphy

19. "You said it was a great love, one for the ages/But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?" --Death By A Thousand Cuts

Giphy

20. Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down/Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town/Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now" --Daylight

Giphy

21. "And I hate to make this all about me/But who am I supposed to talk to?/What am I supposed to do/If there's no you?" --Soon You'll Get Better

Giphy

22. "I once believed love would be burning red/But it's golden" --Daylight

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
