Have you ever misheard a song lyric and then proceeded to sing it that way for decades? I think it’s a universal experience for anyone who listens to music. Sometimes I think it’s one thing, and then I look it up to find that it’s another, and it kind of ruins the song for me. Sometimes your interpretation is better than the actuality. I bet back in the day people got lyrics wrong way more because there was no internet to look them up when you were sitting in the car listening to the radio. 

Nowadays, we know it’s not «Starbucks Lovers» in Taylor Swift’s «Blank Space,» but we like to sing it that way anyway. One of the great things about listening to music is what you add to it by listening to it. You bring your life experience and expectation to the table, and the song provides the rest.
