โIโve got a lot to live without / Iโm never gonna meet / What couldโve been, wouldโve been / what shouldโve been you.โ Those lyrics hail are excerpted from the ๐ฟ Midnights bonus cut, ๐ต โBigger Than The Whole Skyโ, the 15th track. Here, ๐ Taylor Swift recalls some sort of loss, thatโs open to interpretation. As always, the ๐ Grammy winning singer/songwriterโs pen is sharp โ fierce!
โSalt streams out my eyes and into my ears,โ Swift sings in the first verse, adding, โEvery single thing I thought becomes sick with sadness / โCause itโs all over now, all out to sea.โ Dang, thatโs sad ๐ข. ย Taylor complements the lyrics in the first verse with those in the second: โEvery single thing to come has turned into ashes.โ Sounds morbid, which, again makes the loss seem subject to interpretation. Of course, the centerpiece of this beautiful record, produced by Swift and ๐ Jack Antonoff is the chorus.ย Here, Swift makes the assertion that โYou were bigger than the whole sky / You were more than just a short time.โ The big question is who is the You. What there is no doubt about is how awesome ย ๐ต โBigger Than The Whole Skyโ, a bonus cut ๐คฏ, truly is.
