Anyone else notice the many references of rain in her fearless album? In this song, Fearless, and Hey Stephen, kissing in the rain is a positive thing. Rain is mentioned in Forever and Always, but it has a negative connotation.

This song is about having the perfect boyfriend who treats you well. He likes you, he gets along with your parents, even your friends are jealous of your relationship, but...

There's this other boy whom you dated who wasn't perfect in any way. He was wild and crazy, and frustrating. He acted insane. The two of you fought and even now you almost hate him (cursing your name), but it was passionate and real.

I don't really know if she's still in love with him, or she just misses the way she she felt when she was in love. It was "a roller coaster kind of rush." She never knew she could have so many feelings about one person. She had no idea she could have loved him (or anyone for that matter) so much.

"Got away by some mistake" I think this line just means that even though they had a rocky, intense relationship, she can't remember the exaact reason why they broke up.

I remember reading that she based it off of an idea, not a relationship she had. Still, I think it's a very powerful song. In the verse's she's talking about the boy she's currently dating. It's very calm and rational, and controlled. Then in the chorus, when she's talking about the guy she was in love with, she unleashes her energy and frustration.

All in all, one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs.

Rain, 2 a.m., and kissing in the rain are very common phrases in Taylor Swift music. Not only does she mention rain in the Fearless album, but also in her debut album and other songs (Sparks Fly, for one).

I always thought this song had sexual implications, but I could be wrong. I think it's about a girl who is bored of a cute relationship and misses the drama and heartache because it felt good. Those feelings made her feel alive, and they quickened her life. I like how this song has a twisted story; it's not a typical plot.

I also noticed Tuesday came up quite a bit lol...though not in this song.

Very well explained by the way...this is exactly how I feel sometimes about my ex and the guy I might be getting with now. I don't feel like this all the time but I think about it every now and then.
