“The alchemy is about Travis” “the alchemy is about matty” "the alchemy is about the fans" the alchemy is about the feeling of throwing yourself into a relationship after heartbreak!!!! Because this whole album is not about a specific person or relationship (which is why she weaves together details from multiple relationship) but about repeatedly having your heart broken over and over again in the same pattern!!!!! and then finding love again anyways!!!!
move to florida, buy the car you want -> scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer -> what if he's written mine on my upper thigh -> yes, i'm haunted, but i'm feeling just fine -> they don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly -> we were just kids, babe -> babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it -> i can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean -> you'll find that you were never not mine -> changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules -> will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon -> you already know, babe -> it wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill -> cards on the table, mine play out like fools in a fable -> my lost fearless leader -> the time will arrive for the cruel and the mean
