Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve ( Midnights , 2022)
Who was it about: John Mayer
Lyrics: “If clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die?… Years of tearing down our banners, you and I… Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts… Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first”
Story behind the lyrics: Taylor’s “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” is like a time machine set to music, whisking us back to her days as a 19-year-old navigating the complexities of love with an older beau, John. This song is Taylor’s way of painting a picture of lost innocence and the yearning to reclaim a part of her life that was overshadowed by an emotionally charged romance. It’s as if she’s reaching through time, trying to retrieve the carefree moments of youth that slipped away amidst the intensity of this relationship.
