Taylor Swift 'Toyed With the Idea' of Changing This 'Lover' Lyric
The 30-year-old singer broke down her songwriting process during an interview with"I've never really been able to fully explain songwriting other than it's like this, like, little glittery cloud floats in front of your face, and you grab it at the right time and then you revert back to what you know about the structure of a song in order to fill in the gaps," she told the newspaper for its"Diary of a Song" segment.
Swift had been wanting to write a song like"Lover" for years; however, it wasn't until a night in Nashville that inspiration struck. "I'd been thinking for years, 'God it would just be so great to have, like, a song that people who are in love would want to dance to—like slow dance to,'" she said."In my head, I had, like, the last two people on the dance floor at 3:00 a.m. swaying."After stumbling out of bed and making her way over to the piano, Swift started to put the pieces together. It was the line"Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close?" that got stuck in her head.
"I wanted the chorus to be these, like, really simple, existential questions that we ask ourselves when we're in love," she explained."'Can I go where you go?' is such a heavy thing to ask somebody. 'Can we always be this close?' has so much fear in it but so does love." "I've always liked that word, but I've never used it in, like, everyday life, you know?" she said.
When the interviewer pointed out that"lover" can be a"polarizing" word, Swift said,"Well, anything I do is polarizing. So, I'm used to that."
