“Come In With The Rain (Taylor’s Version)” calls back to an old expression whose meaning is, when bad times come, people will come to their senses and realize what they were always looking for was right there the whole time.

Lyrically, this song finds Swift tired of trying to get this guy to like her, so she is just going to wait for him to, sooner or later, come in with the rain.

Although it was assumed this song was written around the Fearless era of 2008-2010, the journals released with Swift’s seventh studio album Lover dated the first lyrics from the song as being written on October 12th, 2006.
