Ever since the wedding I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this poem particularly because of the “And no amount of friends at 25, Will fill the empty seat, At the lunch tables of your past, The teams that picked you last” lines. Reading the poem again I picked up on a couple other lines that have become more relevant recently:

“You knock on wood every time you make plans.” - Wood
“Your superstitions were the lone survivors of the shipwreck.” - So Long London
“If you're anything like me, You never wanted to lock your door, Your secret garden gate or your diary drawer” - I Hate It Here and the wedding being “Secret Garden” themed.

On Wish List Taylor positions herself as separate from the people who want all these materialistic goals because she just wants a life and family with Travis but her first project after Showgirl is an original song for TS5 that’s guaranteed to receive an Oscar push. It wasn’t my favorite song to begin with but it comes across as more disingenuous now trying to distance herself from other people when she obviously wants that too when there’s been all this promo already for IKI,IKY.
