COLLEEN

Easy they come, easy they go I jump from the train, I ride off alone I never grew up, it’s getting so old Help me hold on to you I’ve been the archer, I’ve been the prey Who could ever leave me, darling But who could stay?

The Archer is my new anxiety-is-a-battle-but-I-am-ready-for-combat song. This song is everything.

she got so sick of us whinging about the 10 min of all too well she dug out her diary and said here u fuckin go

ok but imagine "help me hold onto you" to the tune of "and i will hold on to you" from new years day and boom there you have the tour piano mash up that we'll cry over for years to come you're welcome

taylor talking about 13 years of her career for the first time then sharing the lyrics “I’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you,” which parallel “In a box beneath my bed is a letter that you never read,” from the first song we ever heard from her, 13 years ago. yeah, im not okay.

I got chills reading this

Every girl wants to hear those three words. “Producer: Jack Antonoff”

the archer is her saddest and most haunting song because it’s not about a betrayal of a lover, a friend, or the media/greater society. it’s about feeling like you’ve betrayed yourself

This song made me so sad and how I can relate to it 🥺
