wait to say at least I did in my way in
my way we relive a relationship
experienced by the Scottish DJ /
producer Calvin Harris through virtual
reality we see memories of a countryside
cabin flashes of his former companion
and of course a rave in a barn
while on the record Harris denies any
connection between his video and his
past relationship with Taylor Swift
although the video polka dot dress and
all definitely speaks to the contrary
you buy the one thing in my way his
lyrics Harris maintains that this
mystery girl was the only thing in his
way and that it was quote always about
her
