Treacherous

This is one of the most overtly sexual songs Swift has ever written as she sings of heavy petting leading her down a treacherous slope. "That song was about a person that I knew," she told USA Today. "From the minute I saw him, that it would end in fiery, burning wreckage. There's something about that magnetic draw that doesn't really let up. You walk toward it anyway."

Swift penned this tune with former Semisonic frontman Dan Wilson, who also co-wrote Adele's "Someone Like You." Wilson is one of several songwriters that Swift reached out to write with her on Red. She told Billboard magazine: "Dan Wilson, back to his Semisonic days, has been a huge inspiration. When your inspirations become your collaborators, it becomes something really true to the music that you like."

Swift sings of a sensual moment where she is drawn in close: Put your lips close to mine as long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye, till the gravity's too much Her co-writer Dan Wilson explained: "It's like deliberately putting yourself so close to someone that you will inevitably fall into their arms. Taking command of the situation by letting go of all command."
