So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and cut ‘em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby, I’m the one to be
‘Cause the sign on your heart
Said it’s still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
These blokes warm the benches
We’ve been on a winning streak
He jokes that «It’s heroin, but this time with an E»
‘Cause the sign on your heart
Said it’s still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
In this extended version of the chorus, Taylor adds more terms from her boyfriend’s sport: blokes, benches and winning streak. Also, he talks about other players waiting their turn to be with them, but Tayvis are at their best. The line about the drug may be a joke about Matty Healy’s addiction to this substance.

Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads
Beer stickin’ to the floor, cheers chanted ‘cause they said
There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league
Where’s the trophy? He just comes runnin’ over to me
More references to the dynamics of American football. In the victory celebrations there are raised players, beers and trophies, reminiscent of the day the Kansas Chiefs won the 2024 Superbowl and Taylor was there to support them. But here it seems that Taylor is referring to to the achievement of having been together and that they are both very successful in their careers.
