At midnight, Harry Styles' album was released, along with "Two Ghosts," the song fans swore was about Taylor Swift with its "same lips red, same eyes blue" line.

Today, Styles was asked outright if the song was about Tay during his appearance on BBC Radio 1. "I mean, I think it's pretty, like, self explanatory, isn't it?" he started. When pressed further, he added, "I think you know, it's about, you know, sometimes things change. And you can be, you know, doing all the same things. And sometimes, it's just different, you know? 2017, Philosopher, London, end quote."

Then host Nick Grimshaw went ahead and announced "so here we go, the one about Taylor Swift" as he put on "Two Ghosts," and Styles yelled out "ahhh no!" and made this face:

The face of a man who\'s just been figured out.

It's just like the last time he was asked about Taylor Swift on the Ellen DeGeneres Showand was caught lying about it.

But given the Swift references in "Two Ghosts" are "self-explanatory," according to Styles, here's all of the likely ones broken down in the lyrics:

Same lips red, same eyes blue

Same white shirt, couple more tattoos

These two verses are the most overt Swift references fans picked on when the song was teased earlier this week. They echo the lyrics in Swift's own "Style" ("You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye/And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like" and "You got that long hair slicked back, white t-shirt"). Styles says he wrote the song three and a half years ago, at the end of 2013 and almost a year after they allegedly ended things. He had been adding to his tattoo collection over the year.

But it's not you and it's not me

Tastes so sweet, looks so real

Sounds like something that I used to feel

Perhaps a reference to the on-off nature of their relationship. In "Style," Swift herself sang "when we go crashing down, we come back every time/Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style."

But I can't touch what I see

Chorus:

We're not who we used to be

We're not who we used to be

We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me

Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

In August 2013, Styles and Swift attended the VMAs, where Swift had a viral moment when viewers thought she dissed Styles during his acceptance speech. In light of that coldness, he may be referring to the contrast between who they were when they were together versus who they are post-breakup.

Verse:

The fridge light washes this room white

Moon dances over your good side

This was all we used to need

Genius points out these lyrics play off those in Swift's song "All Too Well", though the song came out in October 2012, before they dated. (The lines specifically are: "Cause there we are again in the middle of the night/We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light/Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah.") Both she and Styles, in their songs allegedly about each other, have referenced the others' lyrics. Swift did it extensively in "Style" with One Direction's discography.

Tongue-tied like we've never known

Telling those stories we already told

'Cause we don't say what we really mean

Swift spoke in October 2015 about the fragility of their relationship. "The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety," she said at the Grammy Museum. "Because it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. And it always felt like, 'Okay, what's the next road block? What's the next thing that's gonna deter this? How long do we have before this turns into just an awful mess and we break up? Is it a month? Is it three days?"

Chorus:

We're not who we used to be

We're not who we used to be

We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me

We're not who we used to be

We're not who we used to be

We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty

Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

We're not who we used to be

We're not who we used to be

We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me

We're not who we used to be

We don't see what we used to see

We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty

Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Outro:

Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

I'm just trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Styles told Rolling Stone that when he writes songs like that "I like tipping a hat to the time together"—something hinted in the remembering how it feels to have a heartbeat line. "You're celebrating the fact it was powerful and made you feel something, rather than 'this didn't work out, and that's bad.'"

Swift herself, in her Grammy Museum speech made the same point and obviously channeled her feelings about Styles into her music. "I think a lot of relationships can be very solid and that's kind of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy but that's not always what you get. And it doesn't mean that it's not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that's fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility."
