"The one people put wedding rings on"
I have often seen these lines heavily criticized.
"At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one
People put wedding rings on
And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding"
I don't get why they are so heavily criticized. I know some people think the "The one people put wedding rings on" is clunky, and "ring finger" would make more sense, but I think Taylor Swift is intentionally being dorky here. This part of "The Tortured Poets Department" is supposed to be a warm and fuzzy part, and being dorky on purpose would also fit the "tattooed golden retriever" and "modern idiots" sections. She does not need to be that refined, elegant person she is in public all the time. Privately, at dinner, she can be dorky with the person she cares about.
What do you think? I think the "the one people put wedding rings on" fits the intentionally awkward yet heartfelt dinner scene, how the two of them may not put it into words the most concisely there, but they care about each other very much and want to be together.
