You're In Love
Taylor Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One look, dark room
Meant just for you
Time moved too fast
You play it back
Buttons on a coat
Light-hearted joke
No proof, not much
But you saw enough
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
The light reflects
The chain on your neck
He says, "Look up"
And your shoulders brush
No proof, one touch
But you felt enough

You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love

Morning, his place
Burnt toast, Sunday
You keep his shirt
He keeps his word
And for once, you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much
But it said enough
You kiss on sidewalks
You fight and you talk
One night he wakes




Strange look on his face
Pauses, then says
You're my best friend
And you knew what it was
He is in love

You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love

And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round
And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life tryin' to put it into words

'Cause you can hear in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love

You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love

Overall Meaning

The song "You Are in Love" by Taylor Swift beautifully captures the essence of falling in love, the emotional journey it takes, and the realization that true love has been found.

The small talk, coffee at midnight, light-hearted jokes, and the charm of the person create a feeling of comfort, and the chain on the girl's neck catches the light. The second verse describes more about the journey, which includes burnt toast and fighting, but also the understanding that comes with letting go of fears and ghosts. The verse ends with the realization that the boy is in love with the girl, and he tells her that she is his best friend.

The song shows the subtle ways people can fall in love and how it can happen in the smallest moments. Swift's lyrics capture the feelings of comfort, understanding, and connection that occur during the process of falling in love.

Nice to meet you, where you been?
Hey there, I'm interested in getting to know you. What's your story? test

I could show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sin
I can offer you an exciting, unpredictable experience. It could be heavenly or dangerous.

Saw you there and I thought, Oh my God, look at that face. You look like my next mistake
When I saw you, I was immediately drawn to you. But I have a habit of getting into relationships that end poorly.

Love's a game, wanna play? Ayy
I view relationships as a game, and I want to see if you're up for playing it with me.

New money, suit and tie. I can read you like a magazine
You appear to be wealthy and put together, but I can tell that you're not as perfect as you may seem.

Ain't it funny, rumors fly. And I know you heard about me. So hey, let's be friends
There are likely rumors and gossip about me, but I want to befriend you despite what you might have heard.

I'm dyin' to see how this one ends. Grab your passport and my hand. I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
I'm curious to see where this relationship will go. Let's go on an adventure together and I can change your perspective on things.

So it's gonna be forever. Or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over, mm. If the high was worth the pain
Our relationship might be long-lasting or it might be a complete disaster. Once it's over, let me know if it was worth all the trouble.

Got a long list of ex lovers. They'll tell you I'm insane. 'Cause you know I love the players. And you love the game
I've had many past relationships that didn't end well, and they might say I'm crazy. But I can tell that you're a player, and I like the game.

Cherry lips, crystal skies. I could show you incredible things. Stolen kisses, pretty lies
I can give you thrilling, romantic experiences. But I might also deceive you with sweet lies.

You're the king, baby, I'm your queen. Find out what you want. Be that girl for a month
You can be in charge of this relationship, and I'll be there to fulfill your desires. I can try being someone different for a month.

The worst is yet to come, oh no. Screaming, crying, perfect storms. I can make all the tables turn. Rose garden filled with thorns
Things might get even worse between us. We could have explosive fights and difficulties. But I have the power to change things around. Our relationship might seem wonderful, but it has hidden dangers.

Keep you second guessing like. Oh my God, who is she? I get drunk on jealousy. But you'll come back each time you leave
I can be unpredictable and keep you on your toes. I'm prone to jealousy, but you'll keep coming back to me despite my flaws.

'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
I might seem lovely and sweet, but I can turn into a total nightmare in a relationship.

Boys only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
Many men enjoy being in dramatic, tumultuous relationships. I'm warning you that's what you're in for with me.

But I've got a blank space, baby. And I'll write your name
I may have a history of failed relationships, but now there's an opportunity for something new and exciting with you. I'll make you mine, and it'll be unforgettable.
