Dear Reader

This is a note on the album's back cover: don't copy me, my script isn't all a model. Haven't you admired someone, then found they also stumbled through?

A near-preachy tone for the sincerest "don't follow me." Taylor says "I'm no guide" cold yet warm, like an elder's pat: walk your own road, hit your own holes.
