My Interpretation I love that Taylor's growing up here, it's nice to see that she's taking a route that doesn't involve stripping her clothes off for a magazine.

She's a keeper. I feel like this sentiment has been expressed quite a bit already, but I guess I'll repeat it. This song is great for her younger fans with a memorable hook, singable chorus, and the ability to relate with her audience. However, I feel like that there's not enough growth musically. The song is like a clone of all her other songs. Maybe it's just because it's the lead single but it still sounds like a cross with a fairytale like Love Story and a definite hit like Jump then Fall and a storytelling like Fearless.

You don't need a full band behind you all the time. While it starts drawing back into country, it lost the charm that Tim McGraw and Our Song had with country audiences, but into the charm that formulaic and simple songs like Should've Said No had with kids.

White Horse was an absolute gem as it combined the Taylor quality with a really meaningful, yet simple, concept. I seriously expected maturity to come with musical talent associated with more songs like that, and not just a song about how she's just growing up in age. So, to the song.

This is a definite country theme coming out here that's covered a lot. The main girl character is now careful in everything she does because she's been scarred with parents who have apparently failed to successfully show true love exists in a stable relationship.

She meets a boy who's in college suggesting that she is also? She, however, is a bit unstable but is a good match for him as she is also grounded, hardworking, and takes responsibility for herself. But, she's got a fear of falling, a double meaning as she's scared of falling in love but also that she's scared of failing herself.

I feel like that IS a double meaning here, anyone? They are obviously going through some tough times financially but have got each other for support and always dream of times when things are more stable. They remember their young love this was what Fearless was all about, how to fall fearlessly into any kind of love, have that sweet blindness that would eventually carry them into a relationship when they "sat by the water", and all their beginning dates, etc.

The chorus here says that she's a rebel, but it doesn't necessarily mean teen angst or something like that, but that she'd never expect to fall into love because she never wanted the kind of mismatched love that her parents had. She's a rebel because she rebelled against her own beliefs and loved. Fast forward to when they're out of college. They're still together but are now officially on their own and "taking on the world together".

Apparently they haven't moved in together, but they're sharing the same situation with "bills to pay" and really have nothing figured out about life financially and generally. It's hard, but she thinks of the young love that they had in the beginning and holds on to the belief that the innocence of it is still in both of them even though they've both matured.

She's got a drawer of things at his place and eventually he learns about her history. He says that "we'll never make my parent's mistakes" which could have several interpretations whichever way you think about it.

Some fans who love her for her innocence will believe that they'll never have sex before they're married, or others will say that they won't mess up their relationship with sex until they're ready mentally with their current situation. I do think it's about sex because this all ties into the line with a careless man, and seeing that this is a love song, I doubt it could mean anything else.

Anyway, she's guarded and they're gonna wait, and this shows that he really does love her for her. They're going on with life and are past the beginning hopeful stages and are beginning to doubt their own dreams and beliefs of making it in life.

Everything seems to be falling apart and their fighting takes a precedence in their lives. She remembers the crucial fight that they had that really turns her into a rebel and her previous notions of unstable love around. He says that "everything's slipping out of their hands", another double meaning that she takes to mean that while their financial situation is slipping, their love is also dying and slipping out of their hands.

She takes it to heart and runs out crying. He goes after her, and while she's guarded for a breakup, maybe something along the lines of "we need to take a little time off" as she's heard that so many times in other relationships when things get hard, he surprises her by saying that he's staying by her side.

This is probably the best part in the song that is truly hopeful about love and really echoes Taylor's own sentiments that true love is out there. True love isn't just about finding someone that you have an attraction with, but something that both sides need to work on and search out and find that balance. Here, their love isn't mismatched because they're on the same level, and she finally realizes it. His feelings are directly parallel to what she feels as they both remember and hold onto that young love and know that simplest and most innocent form of it is still in them I know, I'm so mushy.

He remembers the SAME things as her when they both feel pressured and unable face life, and loves her because he knows that she's there. So, together they've both reached an understanding and a new level in their relationship and both are gonna hold on. She finally sees the same vision of stability that she had before, but it has better base and more meaning to it.

This is a really good "coming of age" song for her, and she did the smart thing by making it her lead single, reminding her fans that she's growing up. I still hold strongly to my beliefs that I said before that it lacks maturity in musical talent.

It's catchy, but it needs another element to it that would really say that she is growing as an artist. Here, she expresses her views on relationships beautifully, but I feel that she rushes into the story telling because the chorus is emphasized too much.

Everyone said she was "wise beyond her years" because of her ability to story tell in Mary's Song on her first album, but musically, the song still reminded us that it was a 16 year old telling us the story of old love. It sounds like that here. She's a teenager that's telling the story of year olds. Just because she's telling their story doesn't mean that she IS years old. I fully believe that she has the capability to grow musically, and not necessarily lose her audience in any way.

She's got the incredible gift of writing hooks and I know she can use that to write great songs with a great amount of musical maturity and variety which will show that she's growing as an artist. There was an error. Though her father seems to be seen very rarely. But that could very well have to do with his job. But on the other side most artists are driven to do their art by some sort of personal pain so maybe some kind of rift between her parents in the past or still existing in some form i actually there.

I never bought this theory. First of all because she specifically states that the guy was in college waiting tables so I don't think he was famous and I think he may actually have been a fan she met and gave her phone number to while college hunting with Austin but I'm not sure and not only that but she was dating John Mayer at the time and who sits by the water in January? Even if they had been hanging out until April and she wasn't with John I think they were just friends their hug on their bowling "date" with Selena looked really awkward lol and not only did she say she barely knew the guy but I think it would be cutting it kinda close to write the lead single just a few months before it was released.

Those things are usually planned way in advance and not only that but the time period makes more sense being in spring or summer when she was single before dating Taylor Lautner and liking Adam Young which makes a convincing case for that random fan guy because she did really do that and it would've been at that time that Austin was looking at colleges because he was nice and they got to talking and she loved that he looked like Denny from Grey's anatomy who she had a crush on so she wrote her number on his hand but she said nothing ever happened with him because after she did it she thought "Get a hold of yourself, you just wrote your number on a fan's hand!

Not to mention the fact that he was in college and local and she lives by a lake and could've been a waiter. There were reports coming out about that a year or two ago and they said they'd been separated for two years before that and if you think about it they make a lot of sense. They are hardly ever seen together anymore although they come together at times for her and she bought them two houses one right after the other in Who buys such an expensive house and then decides it's not good enough and buys another one shortly after?

Couple that with things people have heard and seen from meeting Scott and the fact that one of them wasn't there in the beginning and came later to the webchat that was filmed at "their" house and it all makes sense. Also, I googled her dad once for some other reason entirely and he came up as being the only person living at his house. I just found that interesting and I'd imagine they just haven't mentioned it because she likes to keep her personal life personal and similar to her friend Jeff Lang dying right after Speak now came out I think she'll never release a song about it although I'm sure she's written about both events because she doesn't want people to know they happened and never wants to talk about it since it's something even more painful than a breakup.
