Lyrics
I left the car door open
I accidentally left the car door open
and the rain fell in
Rain entered the car
pitter pat
Describing the sound of rain as "pitter pat"
on the rubber mat
Raindrops fall on the rubber mat inside the car
collecting molecules
Rain is gathering dirt particles in small pools
of dirt in tiny pools
Describing the accumulation of dirt in the car
from the old boots
Dirt possibly from old boots
I got from Nordstrom Rack
Boots were bought from Nordstrom Rack
They've been resoled twice
The boots have been resoled twice
at a reasonable price
The resoling was done at a reasonable price
You were getting the mail
Partner is getting the mail
I was thinkin' about Christmas
The narrator is thinking about Christmas
that we should get
Suggesting the idea of exchanging gifts
each other something this year
Expressing the importance of giving gifts during Christmas
and if we forget
If they forget to give gifts, forgiveness is expected
I know that we'll forgive us
Assurance that forgiveness will be mutual
I like to give
The narrator enjoys giving unnecessary gifts
you things you don't need
Preference for giving flowers, chocolate, or requested items
flowers, chocolate, or
Expressing willingness to fulfill partner's requests
whatever you ask for
Promising to give whatever the partner asks for
Honey, I will give it you
Reiterating the commitment to giving
I'm glad that we both like
Both partners enjoy the sound of rain falling
the sound of rain falling
Shared appreciation for the sound of rain
I guess it's not
Commenting on the commonality of liking rain
terribly uncommon,
Observation that liking rain is not uncommon
you never know it might
Suggesting rain as a metaphor for a divine call
be like the maker calling
The rain might symbolize a spiritual connection
rest easy child
A comforting message to rest easy
quiet your mind with music
Advising to quiet the mind with music
Da da da da da
Musical interlude represented by "Da da da da da"
quiet your mind with music
Reiteration of calming the mind with music
