Question...?
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good girl, sad boy, big city, wrong choices
We had one thing going on
I swear that it was something 'cause I don't remember who I was
Before you painted all my nights a color I've searched for since
But one thing after another, lost in
And I have to say, by the way
I just may like some explanations
Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room?
And every single one of your friends was making fun of you
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping, too?
Then, what did you do?
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? (Oh)
Did you wish you'd put up more of a fight? (Oh)
When she said it was too much
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It's just a question
Half-moon eyes, bad surprise, did you realize?
Out of time, she was on your mind
With some dickhead guy that you saw that night
But you were on something
It was one drink after another, caught in politics and gender-roles
And you're not sure and I don't know got swept away in the gray
I just may like to have a conversation
Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room?
And every single one of your friends was making fun of you
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping, too?
Then, what did you do?
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? (Oh)
Did you wish you'd put up more of a fight? (Oh)
When she said it was too much
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It's just a question
Does it feel like everything's just like second-best after that meteor strike?
And what's that, that I heard, that you're still with her?
That's nice, I'm sure that's what's suitable
And right, but tonight
Can I ask you a question? (Can I ask you a question?)
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room? (In a crowded room)
And every single one of your friends was making fun of you? (Making fun of you)
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping, too?
Then what did you do? (Do)
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? (Oh)
Did you wish you'd put up more of a fight? (Oh, more of a fight)
When she said it was too much
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It's just a question
The song "Question..." by Taylor Swift tells a tale of a girl who is reminiscing about a past relationship that ended due to miscommunications and circumstances. The lyrics portray the girl asking a series of questions to her former partner, most notably "Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room, and every single one of your friends was making fun of you?" The song showcases the confusion and regret that comes with the end of a relationship, but also highlights the longing for answers and closure.
The lyrics delve deep into the emotional turmoil that comes with romantic relationships - from the initial passion and excitement to the confusion and heartbreak that follows. The use of imagery such as "painting all my nights a color I've searched for since" and "swept away in the gray" showcase the intensity of the emotions felt by both parties involved. The questions posed by the girl in the song, while specific to her own relationship, are ones that many can relate to, making the song both personal and universal.
