Sometime in the 1950s (the boyfriend is compared to Creator/JamesDean and his slicked-back hair and white undershirt suggest a greaser kind of look), the couple met up one night for a joyride/makeout as described in the song. The girlfriend brought up the rumors of her boyfriend's cheating and they argued. They got back in the car and drove somewhere else, but the boyfriend was distracted by their earlier argument and made some kind of mistake, resulting in an accident that killed the couple. Now they're [[OurGhostsAreDifferent the kind of ghosts who are stuck in a "replay"]] of those events that starts with the girl being picked up and ends with the crash, then starts over ("when we go crashing down we come back every time"-- because they can't die twice, the crash just starts the cycle over again.)

* Ignoring the WordOfGod said that it is connected to "tis the damn season", the song is about missing a female close friend who can now only be seen on the tiny screen. Since the song was written during isolation of the 2020 Covid pandemic, it can be inspired by Taylor's feeling that she lost touch with Selena and wondering if they are still as close as they used to. Other details that support this theory: Selena mentioned repeatedly that her favorite movie is the ''Wizard of Oz'', whose main character is Dorothy; she also had a pageant queen past that she didn't pursue, Selena also has a StageMom, she said that her childhood during the time she met Taylor she was on a very on-again-off-again relationship with Creator/JustinBieber, hence the "making a lark of a misery". Of course, with rewrites and embelishment Taylor realized its similar themes to "tis the damn season" and so she plays it up.

* I mean think about it, the narrator is begging this person not to leave her, saying that she thought she had him figured out. The "Fragile line" mentioned in the first verse could allude to the fact that the fiancce in "Speak Now" is still very much in love with his ex-girlfriend and she knows it but she "Never thought she'd see it break" as in the ex comes back and confesses her love to the fiancce in which he accepts and runs away with her down the isle as the bride stands there she "stood there and watched him walk away from everything they had" aka their relationship and she still isn't processing it properly
