This Love (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics

Clear blue water

High tide came and brought you in

And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will

Skies grew darker

Currents swept you out again

And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone

In silent screams, in wildest dreams

I never dreamed of this

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead, oh-oh-oh

These hands had to let it go free and

This love came back to me, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Tossing, turning

Struggled through the night with someone new

Baby, I could go on and on, on and on

Lantern, burning

Flickered in my mind for only you

But you were still gone, gone, gone

In losin' grip, on sinking ships

You showed up just in time

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead, oh-oh-oh

These hands had to let it go free and

This love came back to me, oh-oh-oh

This love left a permanent mark

This love is glowing in the dark, oh-oh-oh

These hands had to let it go free and

This love came back to me, oh-oh-oh

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh-oh-oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh-oh-oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh-oh-oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love)

Your kiss, my cheek, I watched you leave

Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees

When you're young, you just run

But you come back to what you need

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead, oh-oh-oh

These hands had to let it go free and

This love came back to me, oh-oh-oh

(This love) This love left a permanent mark

(This love) This love is glowing in the dark, oh-oh-oh

(This love) These hands had to let it go free and

(This love) This love came back to me, oh-oh-oh

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh-oh-oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love, oh-oh-oh)

(This love, this love, this love, this love)

(This love) This love came back to me, oh-oh-oh

Meaning

In "This Love," Swift weaves a lyrical tapestry of love's cyclical nature, echoing the ebb and flow of emotions. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of clear blue waters and high tides that brought a love in and, just as swiftly, took it away. The haunting echoes of "gone and gone" reflect the transient nature of relationships.

The song's poetic imagery captures the agony of loss, with lanterns burning in the mind for a love that seems irrevocably departed. Yet, in the midst of silent screams and wildest dreams, the theme of resurrection emerges. Swift portrays the resilience to let go, allowing love to be free, and the poignant realization that sometimes, love returns.

The refrain, "This love is good, this love is bad," encapsulates the dichotomy of love's complexities. It's not merely a romantic reminiscence; it's an exploration of the scars and the glowing remnants of a love that persists even in the dark. The permanence of its mark becomes a testament to the enduring power of love, bouncing back from the depths of the past.

In essence, "This Love" is a testament to the enduring and cyclical nature of love—a journey through loss, resilience, and the beautiful possibility of love's return. Swift's introspective lyrics and evocative melodies make this track a poignant jewel in the reimagined 1989 (Taylor's Version).
