In the track So It Goes… from her album reputation, Swift says she and her lover are “Caught up in a moment.” However, as her relationship deepens, so have her feelings deepened past passion. In Cornelia Street , she was afraid of being lied to when they were “card sharks playing games.” The line “Caught up in a feeling, it can be deceiving” suggests that Swift was uncertain about her feelings at the time and acknowledges that emotions can be misleading. Now she needs their love like she needs air to breathe.
