How did Taylor Swift write Speak Now when she was 18-20. So many good lines and phrases. “Braced myself for the goodbye cuz that’s all I’ve ever known.” “My mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea.” “It turns out freedom ain’t nothin’ but missin’ you.” “…a gown shaped like a pastry.” <— I LOVE THIS AND I DON’T KNOW WHY “Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won’t fall through again.” And “I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day.” THAT’S JUST THE FIRST FIVE!
