作词 : Taylor Swift
作曲 : Taylor Swift
Writing the song "Lover" was one of those magical experiences
That you sometimes get to have as a songwriter
Um, I wrote it really quick in the middle of the night
As soon as I wrote it, I knew I wanted it to be the album title
And I knew that writing it kinda would
Depict the tone of the entire record
So it was a real catalyst for what this album turned into
And I wrote it alone, so I wanted to go in and play it for Jack Antonoff
Who I knew who would be the perfect person to produce it
And so I walked into the studio and I sat in the piano
And this is what happened
So it is, it's basically
I don't see it as a piano
I think it's that like, kind of, dreamy, guitary, throwback
But not like camp throwback, so...
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze
A mysterious way
About you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds
Or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close
Forever and ever?
And ah, take me out
Take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover...
Yeah, I love the walk down
I love the walk down
I was trying to figure out "what the hell is gonna happen there"
So the, so
My, my, my, my lover
We could let our friends crash on the couches
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey
But I want 'em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close
Forever and ever?
And ah, take me out
Take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover
Okay and then I have this bridge thing
That's um, essentially
Well, no I was
I did, I did it in this key
But it could be like a thing where it's like a key change
So it plays off of the walk down-ish
But it's, this is the melody of it, it goes, it's like
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hands
I take this magnetic force
Oh, f*ck
I take this magnetic force of a man
To be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
Wait so goes like
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat
So goes, and you, it goes
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
My heart's been borrowed your heart's been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat
You like?
Yeah! I've never, I never do these chords
But, I was really at the piano, like, hashing it out yesterday
