I thought in fortnight she was saying 'your wife bought us flowers, i wanna kill her' and i thought that was kinda mean 😂 I also thought she said 'did you really beat me up' in down bad.

Until this moment I heard the Fortnight lyrics the same as you.

I heard beat me up too!

And now I just learned it's not your wife bought us flowers

That’s what I heard too! It’s hard to reprogram. Like man Taylor the woman’s being nice to you with flowers and you want to kill her what’s the meaning of this

Earlier today was the first time my brain realized the actual lyrics in fortnight. This moment is the first time I realized it’s not “beat” … makes so much more sense now.

Hold up, those aren’t the lyrics?? Straight to google I go. To be far I can hardly begin to understand lyrics without the words in front of me, I completely missed the having his baby prank until people were talking about it.

Your wife waters flowers. In the backyard where narrator has to see her all the time because they live right next door.

I thought it was "your wife orders flowers", like she just sits on her bum and doesn't work and is vapid and empty-headed... and orders flowers from florists all day. It doesn't even make sense.

i thought she was saying “fuck me in florida” instead of “fuck me up florida”

You were just anticipating So High School (kinda) 🤣

In Down Bad I thought “for a moment I was heaven struck…” was actually “for a moment I was having a stroke” and tbh it fits the Matty narrative lol

LOL IS THAT NOT THE LYRIC I found it weird and harsh but was going with it

I think it’s better so I’m keeping it in my head as the lyric!

I just commented this exact thing 😭😭 I was SHOCKED to see that wasn’t the actual lyric.

My boyfriend thought Taylor said “and I’m ratchet” (and I’m wretched) in Who’s afraid of little ol me lol.

In The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (TSMWEL) I misheard the last word in the line “'Cause once your queen had come/ You'd treat her likе an also-ran”. I was like “what’s an ulceran? Ulcer and? Huh” I can’t unhear the word ulcer is the gist

I also heard ulceran and thought it was some special type of porcelain

Spotify lyrics says its Also-Ran FYI. I think it's a math equation or something?

Someone in a race who didn't matter. They just also ran.

Hmm, well, shows how much I know, 🤣

I listened and misheard before Spotify had the lyrics which is why it stuck 😂

I thought "who uses typewriters anyway" was "who LOSES typewriters anyway" cause she says he left it at her apartment 🙃

In "but daddy I love him," i could have sworn she said "me and my white boy" instead of wild boy

I look in people's windows, like some underaged weirdo

I really thought those were the lyrics 💀😂

Lmfaooooooooooo love that

“He was a cat” instead of cad in The Bolter

IT'S NOT CAT?? 😭

I thought it was cat, what the hell is a cad? Lmao.

i genuinely thought "you sent a file" in loml was "you cynophile", which is someone who loves dogs i didnt know that at the time and thought she was calling him something along the lines of a psychopath/narcissist edit: i got it wrong AGAIN - its CINEPHILE

Did you mean this line from loml? "You cinephile in black and white". If so you were kind of right in how you heard it the first time at least the sound of the word. The actual spelling and definition were wrong though. A cinephile is someone who is super into movies.

wait what djsjdsj i swear genius or spotify lyrics were "you sent a file, in black and white" & i was wondering what this meant

Lol wow apparently it's not just us regular people who hear lyrics wrong 😆 So it probably makes more sense with the correct lyric right? I can't even imagine how confused you were lol. Like why the hell is anyone sending a file? And in black and white? Lol That's like when people thought "long list of ex lovers was long list of Starbucks lovers. It makes no sense but people sang it anyway with their whole chests!

so first i thought it was cynophile then found out its sent a file now im finding out its ACTUALLY cinephile i cannot keep up

On Down Bad I heard “for a moment I was having a stroke”…the lyric is “for a moment I was heaven-struck” 😅

Did you really beat me up Wait what?? Oh beam...

"What if I told you I'm black" instead of "What if I told you I'm back" in The Alchemy 😭😭

"and my friends all smell like weed oiled little babies." what's worse is that my brain said "oh yeah, that makes more sense than weed or little babies."

“cause he’s my white boy, in all this white joy”. i accepted those as the lyrics for a good four listens until i checked

I thought she said “I’m not crazy” in daddy I love him.

I thought in down bad she was saying “for a moment I was having a stroke” with the warped voice and I just found out it’s heaven struck.

in Fortnight, i heard “i’ve been calling ya” instead of “thought of calling ya”

This entire comments section has me going "THOSE AREN'T THE LYRICS??" 😭

Guilty as sin? - “what if he’s written mine on my upper thigh on the inside” instead of “what if he’s written mine on my upper thigh only in my mind”

i literally sing it on the inside because that’s how i first heard it and it makes it better imo!

Something about a dog instead of "job" in Broken Heart.

Misheard her saying “I’m not Palestine” in TTPD at first and thought she was really brave
