Lover

"Lover" is a romantic and sentimental love song. In the song, Swift speaks of the deep connection she has with her lover, declaring that even if they have known each other only twenty seconds or twenty years, their bond will last forever. In the chorus, she asks if they can always remain this close, "forever and ever". The bridge speaks to her desire to commit to the one she loves, and show him all of her true colors. The song speaks to the timelessness of a romantic love that transcends time, committing to being with the one you love for eternity.

[Verse 1] We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January And this is our place, we make the rules And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years? [Chorus] Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? Forever and ever, ah Take me out and take me home You're my, my, my, my lover [Verse 2] We could let our friends crash in the living room 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 [Chorus] Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? Forever and ever, ah Take me out and take me home (Forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my lover [Bridge] Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? With every guitar string scar on my hand 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 And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover [Chorus] Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? Forever and ever, ah Take me out and take me home (Forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my Oh, you're my, my, my, my Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover
