You belong with my by Taylor swift is about a girl that is in love with her neighbor. They are total opposites. He is a star football player ;she plays in the school band. The problem is that he has a girlfriend who is a cheerleader and doesn't treat him very well.Throughout the lyrics, Taylor Swift's compares herself to his neighbor's girlfriend.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Although she doesn't have her status, she understands her neighbor.
By stating her reasons, she is making her point- they understand each other and are meant to be together.The music throughout the song has a very moderate beat, but her tone and the beat slow down when she shows her neighbor the paper- I love you. It is because she is unsure of what his response is going to be. This scene passes, and there is a return to surety and confidence in her tone and the beat as they feel the same way about each other.
You analyzed this song very well! I've heard this song many times but have never really stopped to think about what it all means- like when the music slows down at the end as you stated.
