I Know Places (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I, I, I (I, I)

You stand with your hand on my waistline

It's a scene and we're out here in plain sight

I can hear them whisper as we pass by

It's a bad sign, bad sign

Somethin' happens when everybody finds out

See the vultures circling, dark clouds

Love's a fragile little flame, it could burn out

It could burn out

'Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes and guns

They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run

Baby, I know places we won't be found

And they'll be chasing their tails tryin' to track us down

'Cause I, I know places we can hide

I know places, I know places

Lights flash and we'll run for the fences

Let them say what they want, we won't hear it

Loose lips sink ships all the damn time

Not this time

Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, my love

They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run

Baby (Baby), I know places we won't be found

And they'll (They'll) be (Be) chasing their tails tryin' to track us down

'Cause I, I know places we can hide

I know places

They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run

Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, my love

Baby (Baby), I know places we won't be found

And they'll (They'll) be (Be) chasing their tails tryin' to track us down

'Cause I, I know places we can hide

I know places

(I) They take their shots, but we're bulletproof (I know places)

(Hide) And you know, for me, it's always you (I know places)

(I) In the dead of night, your eyes so green (I know places)

(Hide) And I know, for you, it's always me (I know places)

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I (I, I)

About

"I Know Places" is the twelfth track on Taylor Swift's re-recorded album "1989 (Taylor's Version)," released on October 27, 2023, through Republic Records. This re-recording is part of Swift's initiative to reclaim ownership of her early catalog following the 2019 masters dispute.

Meaning

"I Know Places" is a song that explores the theme of escaping and evading the scrutiny and judgment that often comes with fame and public attention. Taylor Swift, along with co-writer Ryan Tedder, uses the metaphor of being hunted like foxes to describe the invasive nature of media and public interest in celebrities' personal lives.

The lyrics depict a relationship under constant surveillance, where the couple is aware of the outside world's attempts to intrude. Swift acknowledges the challenges faced by those in the public eye, emphasizing the need to find secret places to escape the relentless pursuit of the media.

The chorus, with the lines "Baby, I know places we won't be found, and they'll be chasing their tails tryin' to track us down," suggests a sense of empowerment and control. The singer asserts that, despite external pressures, they have identified safe havens where their love and privacy can endure.

The bridge further reinforces the theme of defiance and resilience. The imagery of being "bulletproof" and the acknowledgment that, even in the dead of night, the connection between the couple remains strong, adds layers to the song's narrative.

"I Know Places" is not just a reflection on Swift's own experiences but a broader commentary on the challenges faced by public figures dealing with the invasive side of fame. The song's anthemic and cinematic production contributes to its portrayal of a couple navigating the complexities of being in the public eye while seeking refuge in each other.

The repetitive rhythm and haunting melody capture the urgency of the narrative, making "I Know Places" a standout track on "1989 (Taylor's Version)."
