The lowdown: In this mellow torch song, the thirteenth track on Speak Now, Taylor's sorrow over a failed relationship comes alive with intimate details of their time together. Fans speculate that it is about Joe Jonas, among other reasons, for the 27-second instrumental intro, which supposedly references the 27-second phone call in which Jonas dumped her.
The vote: Averaging about 1.1 points higher in the second half of voting as compared to the first, "Last Kiss" shot up twenty spots during the course of balloting period.
Best line: "All I know is that I don't know/how to be something that you miss"
WHAT IN THE HELL?
BEST LINES BTW: I watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep/ And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe..
The lowdown: Taylor sounds hurt but not defeated in this simmering kiss-off to notable douchebag lothario John Mayer, the fifth track on Speak Now. Making her furious pain all the more blistering? A bluesy guitar line that is signature Mayer. Genius.
The vote: Though its overall score was tied with #28, "Dear John" moved ahead because of its thirteen 10's, twelve more than "Get Myself Together" (and among the ten most in this rate). So why is it so low? Blame the eleven scores of 5 or below.
Best line: "I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules everyday/Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight"

I was actually really impressed by the lyricism in that song. There may be better lines that the one I chose, but that one jumped out and hit me in the gut right away, so I went with it.
I must admit: Listening to Speak Now has give me a new appreciation for Taylor as an artist.
