This 1989 track finds Taylor reflecting on romance in a different way to her previous love songs. "I think the way I used to approach relationships was very idealistic," she admitted to Rolling Stone. "I used to go into them thinking, 'Maybe this is the one — we'll get married and have a family, this could be forever. Whereas now I go in thinking, 'How long do we have on the clock — before something comes along and puts a wrench in it, or your publicist calls and says this isn't a good idea?"
