This song is obviously about SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence).
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain: Radio telescopes used in SETI research do not require a clear sky and can be used in rainy weather.
I heard you're making patterns rhyme: Using pattern recognition to identify alien radio transmissions.
Like some new romantic looking for the tv sound: Unable to decrypt an alien signal just yet, but...
You'll see I'm right some other time: Given enough time, an alien signal will be identified.
The remaining lyrics are pretty self explanatory...

You can read that much into it if that's your thing, but I personally think it's no more than a trendy update of Bowie's 'Starman' for the New Romantic generation, one that was almost completely informed by the 'alien otherness' of Ziggy era Bowie (with a sprinkling of 'Thin White Duke' for a little pastiche)

@YouKnowsIt I agree as I thinks elated to the 1977 phenomenon when we received a radio signal from space which lasted for 72 seconds. Till now we don't know where it came from.
