“I Think He Knows” by Taylor Swift

“I Think He Knows” is a song that is based on Taylor Swift being infatuated with a certain romantic interest.

She is seemingly admiring minute details about him from afar, as in not stating her love forthrightly.  This is not necessarily an indication of her being intimidated or shy. Rather she is in complete control, as in the relationship is moving at a pace that she has established. Moreover Taylor appears pretty convinced that, despite once again never kicking to dude like that, “he knows” of her feelings and intentions and is going along with the game.

Overall it is clear that this is someone the singer truly cares about. Indeed thinking about this fellow gives her a giddiness reminiscent of her teens. Moreover she insinuates that if he does not take advantage of the situation by making a formal, long-term commitment, a quality woman like herself is going to move on with her life. So in one way or another, we can say she is clearly keen on the prospect of marriage. And clearly the addressee has strong feelings for her also. And Taylor Swift, being the person that she is, completely understands why.
