Lyrics

The drops of rain they fall all over

The speaker observes raindrops falling everywhere.

This awkward silence makes me crazy

The uncomfortable silence is driving the speaker crazy.

The glow inside burns light upon her

The internal excitement shines brightly on someone special.

I'll try to kiss you if you let me

The speaker expresses a desire to kiss if given the opportunity.

(This can't be the end)

(Emphasizes uncertainty about whether this is the end of something.)


Tidal waves they

Tidal waves symbolize intense emotions that cut through the speaker.

Rip right through me

The emotional impact is profound and overwhelming.

Tears from eyes worn

Tears are shed, indicating a state of emotional distress.

Cold and sad

The eyes reflect a cold and sad emotional state.

Pick me up now

A plea for support and comfort, asking to be picked up.

I need you so bad

The speaker expresses a strong need for the other person.


Down, down, down, down

Repetition of feeling down, emphasizing emotional low points.

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

-

It gets me so

Intense emotional impact is described again.

Down, down, down, down

Repetition reinforces the depth of the emotional downturn.

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

-

Down, down, down, down

It gets me so

Underlines the speaker's profound emotional state.


Your vows of silence fall all over

Reference to a commitment to silence that is now falling apart.

The look in your eyes makes me crazy

I feel the darkness break upon her

I'll take you over if you let me

The speaker expresses a willingness to take over if permitted.

(You did this)

(Accusation of causing the emotional turmoil.)


Tidal waves they

Rip right through me
