When Taylor Swift released “Speak Now” in 2010, she was a young adult writing about the pangs of true love, heartbreak, and lessons learned — the recipe of life for a typical teen just about to turn 20. Depending on how old you were at your first listen, we all remember this album a little differently. Some experienced the music as a coming of age and a loss of innocence story, while younger fans saw it as a guide to look forward to when their own time came along. However, all innocence was truly shattered in “I Can See You,” that’s for sure.
The track starts off with an enticing electric guitar and Swift’s crooning voice singing lyrics about inviting an unsuspecting school crush for a romp in a secluded hallway, much to every fan’s delight. The addition of this track gives the album a sexy little nudge we weren’t necessarily expecting but that we’ll happily accept with wide eyes and open palms. With lyrics including “But what would you do / If I went to touch you now / … If they never found us out / … If we never made a sound” and “I could see you / Up against the wall with me … They keep watchful eyes on us / So it’s best that we move fast and keep quiet,” it’s no wonder Twitter is abuzz and the Swifties are in racy-fantasy heaven.
