Imgonnagetyouback has no BLANK SPACES [TTPD]

Imgonnagetyouback  [it’s written all in one word as a hint-she BLANKED out the SPACES]

Thesis:  sequel to Blank Space as a bearding song:

 But I've got a blank space, baby/And I'll write your name

In Blank Space, Taylor mocks the media’s image of her as a crazy ex-girlfriend.  She simultaneously shares her bearding modus operandi.  She manages to get a THIRD layer into this song by talking about getting drunk on jealousy.  She doesn’t wanna share her actual lover. 

[Intro]

Yeah [there’s been an agreement]

[Verse 1]

Lilac short skirt, the one that fits me like skin

'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

Did your research, you knew the price goin' in

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya/Boys only want love if it's torture

And I'll tell you one thing, honey

I can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean

Standin' at the bar like something's funny, bubbly

Once you fix your face, I'm goin' in (Yeah)

Saw you there and I thought/"Oh, my God, look at that face/You look like my next mistake/Love's a game, wanna play?" Ay

New money, suit and tie/I can read you like a magazine/Ain't it funny? Rumors fly

[Chorus]

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or

Gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

Whether I'm gonna curse you out or

Take you back to my house, I haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

I'm dying to see how this one ends…/So it's gonna be forever/Or it's gonna go down in flames/You can tell me when it's over, mm/If the high was worth the pain

[Post-Chorus]

I, I hear thе whispers in your e-e-eyes

I'll make you wanna think twice

Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no…/Screaming, crying, perfect storms/I can make all the tables turn/Rose garden filled with thorns/Keep you second guessing like/"Oh, my God, who is she?"

You'll find that you were never not mine

(You're mine)

Find out what you want/Be that girl for a month…/But I've got a blank space, baby/And I'll write your name

[He's signed a contract]

[Verse 2]

Small talk, big love, act like I don't care what you did

I'm an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch

Then ran and hid

[This man that agreed to a bearding contract with Taylor wasn't happy with the results of their little set-up.  He ran the fake relationship into the ditch doing something he knew she wouldn't like, ruining the illusion.  Then ran and hid.]

But you'll come back each time you leave…/'Cause we're young, and we're reckless (oh)/We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mm (oh)/Or with a nasty scar/Got a long list of ex-lovers/They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)

And I'll tell you one thing, honey

I can take the upper hand and touch your body

Flip the script and leave you like a dumb house party

Or I might just love you 'til the end (Ah)

So it's gonna be forever/Or it's gonna go down in flames/You can tell me when it's over (over)/If the high was worth the pain

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

[Bridge]

I can feel it comin', honey, in the way you move

Push the reset button, we're becomin' something new

Stolen kisses, pretty lies/You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen…/I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

Say you got somebody else, say, "I got someone too"

Even if it's handcuffed, I'm leavin' here with you

[This speaks to the bearding contract directly.  Each person in this fake relationship has a partner (that isn’t palatable to the media/public) already.  Even if I’m handcuffed shows a contract is the blank space that was signed.  Even if these two start to hate each other, they have committed to acting like the IT couple for the cameras.]

Bygones will be bygone, eras fadin' into grey (Fading into grey)

[This line is for the Gold Rush muse (Karlie) and “'Cause it fades into the gray of my day old tea” Taylor is saying she had a beard and Karlie had a beard, which complicated the Kaylor relationship to the point it faded into gray and now it’s like their very real relationship never existed.]

Back to the twin songs:

We broke all the pieces, but still wanna play the game (Oh)

Told my friends I hate you, but I love you just the same

Pick your poison, babe, I'm poison either way (Ha)

'Cause you know I love the players/And you love the game

[Chorus]

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or

Gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

Whether I'm gonna curse you out or

Take you back to my house, I haven't decided yet

But I'm gonna get you back

[Post-Chorus]

I, I hear the whispers in your e-e-eyes

I'll make you wanna think twice

You'll find that you were never not mine

You can tell me when it's over (over)/If the high was worth the pain/Got a long list of ex-lovers/They'll tell you I'm insane (I'm insane)/'Cause you know I love the players/And you love the game/'Cause we're young, and we're reckless/We'll take this way too far (ooh)

[Outro]

I'm gonna get you back

It'll leave you breathless, mm/Or with a nasty scar (leave a nasty scar)/Got a long list of ex-lovers/They'll tell you I'm insane/But I've got a blank space, baby/And I'll write your name

[Sounds like Joe fucked up the ruse and ran away, now she'll sic the Swifties on him as punishment]
