This song is about taylor lautner.that is because the hidden message(there's one for every song in her albums)says"tay"and so unless she was referring to herself,which it isnt,this song is about taylor lautner. the first paragraph suggests that they met up after they broke up but lautner was on his guard against taylor and she knows why,because she broke his heart by initiating the breakup.as for the chorus,it is clearly stated that taylor is swallowing her pride to say sorry to lautner.and the freedom she talks about is singlehood.but after they broke up,taylor then realises that she still loves lautner a lot.so,when lautner's birthday passed,taylor didn't call him to wish him happy birthday and she also says that she stays up late at night thinking back about their breakup and how she left him.well,taylor has a car,so if lautner was on the car with her,he would obviously be in the passenger seat.taylor loved lautner in the fall,that would be around just before they broke up.and the "dark days" and "fear" that taylor mentioned,was about her breakup with joe jonas(they broke up in december)and although she still loves lautner,she doesn't want another shattered relationship.the next paragraph is clearly hinting that this song is about lautner because isnt he known for his tan skin and sweet smile?.taylor also says that lautner held her in his arms on a september night,the first time he ever saw her cry.the rest of the song is telling lautner that she wishes they could go back together again,but even if he doesn't want to,she understands..
