Lyrics
Never thought I'd need somebody else
Expressing surprise at the need for someone else in life.
Never meant to throw my arms around
Unexpectedly embracing someone emotionally.
It's not okay to say I love you now
Rejecting the idea of expressing love at the moment.
But I want you to know you're the best I've found
Acknowledging the person as the best found despite reservations.
I was your black rain necessary evil for you
Describing oneself as a negative influence (black rain) that is necessary for the other person.
You were my rain dance Maggie always making me blue
Recalling a person named Maggie who had a melancholic impact (rain dance) on the speaker.
But when the rain stops
Highlighting a pause in the negative influence (black rain).
But when the rain stops
Repeating the idea of a pause in the negative influence.
I love your heart, soul, face when you're self-talking too
Expressing love for various aspects of the other person.
You loved my dumb big brain always crazy 'bout you
Reciprocal love for the speaker's intellect from the other person.
But when the rain stops
Reiterating a pause in the negative influence (black rain).
But when the rain stops
Repeating the idea of a pause in the negative influence.
Never thought I'd see you in myself
Unexpectedly recognizing traits of the other person in oneself.
The part of me which is bleeding out
Acknowledging emotional pain and vulnerability.
It won't be long before I'm someone else
Anticipating a transformation into a different person.
I hate the fact that I don't need you now
Expressing independence and not needing the other person anymore.
(How to believe it)
Parenthetical expression questioning belief.
I was your black rain necessary evil for you
Reiterating the speaker's role as a necessary negative influence.
You were my rain dance Maggie always making me blue
Revisiting the impact of Maggie as a source of melancholy.
But when the rain stops
Reiterating a pause in the negative influence (black rain).
But when the rain stops
Repeating the idea of a pause in the negative influence.
I love your heart, soul, face when you're self-talking too
Expressing love for various aspects of the other person, including self-talk.
You loved my dumb big brain always crazy 'bout you
Reciprocal love for the speaker's intellect from the other person.
But when the rain stops
Reiterating a pause in the negative influence (black rain).
But when the rain stops
Repeating the idea of a pause in the negative influence.
You said what we had was just enough
Stating that what they had was sufficient.
And what I wanted was way too much
Expressing a disparity in desires, one being excessive.
I was your black rain necessary evil for you
Reiterating the speaker's role as a necessary negative influence.
You were my rain dance Maggie always making me blue
Revisiting the impact of Maggie as a source of melancholy.
But when the rain stops
Reiterating a pause in the negative influence (black rain).
But when the rain stops
Repeating the idea of a pause in the negative influence.
I love your heart, soul, face when you're self-talking too
Expressing love for various aspects of the other person, including self-talk.
You loved my dumb big brain always crazy 'bout you
Reciprocal love for the speaker's intellect from the other person.
But when the rain stops
Reiterating a pause in the negative influence (black rain).
But when the rain stops
Repeating the idea of a pause in the negative influence.
I'd rather pull my heart right out
Expressing a preference for emotional pain over the relationship.
I'd rather pull my heart right out
Repeating the preference for emotional pain over the relationship.
I'd rather pull my heart right out
-I'd rather pull my heart right out
