Themes and composition
Lyrically, Taylor described it as a love song, stating:
"Song #3" is actually about a certain kind of love that I don't think songwriters really talk about. It's that strong passionate love but also that undying love. That really, really good shit, you know? Everybody talks about the sappy stuff, everybody talks about the sexy stuff, but there's that middle section where one meets the other and you just never know which way it's going to tip at any given moment.[7]
