In preparation for their break-up album, these are some of my favourite love lyrics Taylor wrote for Joe.
I can still see it all in my head, back and forth from New York, sneaking in your bed,
I once believed love would be, burning red, but it's golden, like daylight
Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other, family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother, is it enough?
Barefoot in the kitchen, sacred new beginnings, that became my religion, listen
And he's passing by, rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky, and he feels like home, if the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go
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
Flashback when you met me, your buzzcut and my hair bleached, even in my worst times you could see the best of me, flashback to my mistakes, my rebounds, my earthquakes, even in my worst lies you saw the truth in me, and I woke up just in time, now I wake up by your side, my one and only, my lifeline, I woke up just in time, now I wake up by your side, my hands shake, I can't explain this
Up on the roof with a school girl crush, drinking beer out of plastic cups, say you fancy me, not fancy stuff, baby, all at once, this is enough
I'm laughin' with my lover, makin' forts under covers, trust him like a brother, yeah, you know I did one thing right, starry eyes sparkin' up my darkest night
