"I keep going back to love when..." - Quote by Taylor Swift
I keep going back to love when I write songs because I can't figure it out.

“Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.”
“For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.”
“There are times when I'm caught up in everything and I have to say to myself, "Please feel good; please feel better; everything's okay; you're fine; things aren't falling apart; take a second; get back to a place where you realize that you don't actually have real problems." That happens. You never know when those tables are gonna turn... For me, confidence is something that can come crashing down in one second.”
More on Love
“Both the artist and the lover know that perfection is not loveable. It is the clumsiness of a fault that makes a person lovable.”
“In this universe we are given two gifts: the ability to love and the ability to question. Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.”
“In fact, everything that emanates from source emanates from a source of well-being. When we take on this ego consciousness, when we take on hate rather than love in our hearts, we create all of this divisiveness, and we create all of the problems, the struggles, the difficulties, the diseases, the poverty.”
More on Songwriting
“Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.”
“A song is a favorite song, not because the singer can hit and hold a high note, but because of the words, their meaning.”
“I really don't know what exactly all the songs mean. Sometimes other people have meanings and when I hear them I think, 'That's really a better meaning than I thought, and perfectly valid, given the words that exist.' So part of what makes a song really good is that people take in different meanings, and they apply them, and they might be more powerful than the ones I'm thinking.”
