I Don't Wanna Live Forever (feat. Zayn)

This writes "missing you" as slow consumption: every second with you is too long, yet I can't live without. Haven't you loved in that push-pull of wanting out yet unable to leave?

Zayn's voice and hers are opposing winds. Taylor twists desire and exhaustion into a "I hate this longing but can't stop" sink. You'll feel the bitterest missing is often the most addictive.
