Blank Space
Tay Watts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
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?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you 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
It'll leave you breathless
Or with 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

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
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?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you 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
It'll leave you breathless
Or with 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

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

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you 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
It'll leave you breathless
Or with 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift is about the thrill and excitement of a new relationship, but also about the warning signs of a potentially toxic pairing. In the first verse, the singer meets a new person and is drawn in by their attractive qualities, but the line "You look like my next mistake" hints at the possible dangers ahead. The chorus speaks to the idea that this relationship could either last forever or end in disaster, which is only heightened by the singer's history of tumultuous relationships.


The second verse goes on to address the rumors that likely surround both parties in the relationship. The singer acknowledges their own reputation but still invites the other person to take a chance on them. The bridge of the song contains some ominous lyrics, like "Keep you second guessing like 'Oh my God, who is she?'" This line speaks to the idea that the singer may be intentionally manipulative in the relationship, using jealousy to keep the other person interested.


Overall, the song can be seen as a commentary on society's glorification of toxic relationships, and how both parties can play a role in perpetuating the cycle. It's a cautionary tale of what can happen when we get caught up in the thrill of a new romance without taking the time to consider the potential consequences.
