i was a functioning alcoholic
[AH vid- brand Taylor doing shots]
’til nobody noticed my new esthetic
[when nobody noticed the funeral vibe in the middle of the lover Era, she became a full-on alcoholic]
All of this to say I hope you're okay
But you're the reason
and no one here’s to blame
[DBM/Reputation]
but what about your quiet treason
[crook who was caught ITTG/evermore; TSMWEL/TTPD]
chorus
And for a fortnight there, we were forever
Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather
Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
[Good Neighbors is a book and movie adaptation:
Welcome to Maple Street, a picture-perfect slice of suburban Long Island, its residents bound by their children, their work, and their illusion of safety in a rapidly changing world. “Behind every house with white picket fences, every plastered-on smile, and every phony wave, there are dreadful secrets and barely repressed trauma and guilt, and all of this comes to a head in Sarah Langan’s Good Neighbors. Think Big Little Lies and your favorite psychologically demanding suburban noir. Beneath the surface of a suburban utopia, madness lurks.The veneer of civility among close neighbors disguises hypocrisy, envy, and hatred. The richly complex main characters reveal flawed pasts and duplicitous natures as the story transforms into a witch hunt. . . . Intricate and edgy, Good Neighbors is a descent into depraved suburban drama. Love and betrayal.
Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her
all my mornings are Mondays
[I want all your dreary Mondays (said by muse to Taylor) Paper Rings/lover]
stuck in an endless February
I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary
And I love you, it’s ruining my life
[denial Playlist]
(I love you, it's ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight
(I touched you) but I touched you
[It's a defense to gaslighting that it wasn't a serious relationship? Similar to ATW/Red repeated phrasing:
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well]
And for a fortnight there, we were forever
Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather
[cold, freezing, lightning, rain, sky, snow, storms, sun, wind]
Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors
Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her
And for a fortnight there, we were together
Run into you sometimes,
comment on my sweater
[cardigan/folklore]
Now you're at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors
My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him
Chorus
I love you, it's ruining my life
(I love you, it's ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight
(I touched you) I touched you
I love you, it's ruining my life
(I love you, it's ruining my life)
I touched you for only a fortnight
(I touched you) I touched you
[similar structure to YLM-
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore
For you
'Cause you're losin' me
'Cause you're losin' me
Stop (stop) 'cause you're losin' me
My heart won't start anymore ('cause you're losin' me)
My heart won't start anymore ('cause you're losin' me)]
Thought of callin' ya, but you won't pick up
'Nother fortnight lost in America
move to Florida
[tie to Florida/TTPD]
, buy the car you want
[(a nickname Karlie Kloss goes by is Kar)."I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car" Hits Different]
But it won't start up till you touch, touch, touch me
["All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life
And I want you now, wanna need you forever
In the heat of your electric touch" Electric Touch (TV)]
Thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up
[you're losing me]
'Nother fortnight lost in America
Move to Florida,
[where trump/Karlie moved to evade]
buy the car you want
But it won't start up till I touch, touch, touch you
