The Real Meaning Behind Taylor Swift's 'Come In With The Rain' (Taylor's Version)

Posted by Carisa Kissane on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

"I've watched you so long, screamed your name / I don't know what else I can say," Taylor Swift sings on "Come In With The Rain," a song that was originally written by the star and Liz Rose, per Genius. You likely love to sing along when Swift adds, "But I'll leave my window open / 'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games / Just know I'm right here hoping / That you'll come in with the rain." But have you ever wondered what she means?

Well, it turns out that the expression "come in out of the rain" means to "show common sense," according to Dictionary.com, meaning, " ... Having enough sense to seek shelter." In this particular tune, Swift is admitting that she'll no longer wait around for the object of her affection to clue into the fact that they could (?), should (?), or would (?) be together if he bothered to pay attention to her. Instead, while the star "isn't going to sing songs about him or keep trying to get his attention ... sooner or later he will come to her."

While we can still spend some time pondering who she might have been singing about, at least she doesn't seem to be in this kind of sticky romantic situation with her love, Joe Alwyn.
