The Real Meaning Behind Taylor Swift's 'Jump Then Fall' (Taylor's Version)

"Jump Then Fall" is a classic Taylor Swift song that focuses on crushing on a boy and hoping they take the risk to go all in with you. She wrote in a note that came with the platinum version, "[It's a song about] jumping then falling into the most beautiful summer love imaginable."

The lyrics are straightforward enough. "I like the way you sound in the morning/We're on the phone and without a warning/I realize your laugh is the best sound/I have ever heard," she sings (via Genius). "I like the way I can't keep my focus/I watch you talk, you didn't notice/I hear the words but all I can think is/We should be together," she continues. The pre-chorus is basically just a love Post-It assuring this guy she is IN. "Every time you smile, I smile/And every time you shine, I'll shine for you," Taylor sings. 

In later verses and into the chorus, she tells this guy that she knows there might be low times, but that she'll be there to "catch" him. "Baby, I'm never gonna leave you/Say that you wanna be with me too/'Cause I'ma stay through it all/So jump then fall," she sings. 

Taylor told MTV News that she was really feeling the track. "It's really bouncy and happy and lovey. It's got this really cool banjo part that's, like, bouncy and... I don't know, it just has a really good feel-good vibe to me," she said. It sure does.
