This song is a bit confusing, but I'll give it a shot. In the first verse, there are two lovers enjoying a day in the rain. In the second verse, the girl says the the guy knows her deeply, because she showed him all her fears. But he knows there's something more though, and knows it'll keep raining down on them. In the third verse, she finally opened up more but he wasn't ready and thinks he's not ready to deal with it all. In the last verse, he knows there's a place he could be safe from love's storms, but he'll answer when she calls him because he'll take the good with the bad.
