Dancing in the Rain
Melancholic Reflections: Dancing in the Rain by Cereal Milk
Lyrics
I should have learned something new
I regret not acquiring new knowledge
I should have called you back
I regret not returning your call
And when you asked for my help
I should have supported you when you asked for help
I should have just held your hand
I should have comforted you by holding your hand
I should have paid the rent early
I should have paid the rent ahead of time
I should have brushed my teeth
I should have maintained basic personal care
But I can't help just thinking
I can't shake the feeling that you're finished with our relationship
that you're done with me
Continuation of the realization that the partner may have moved on
Here I am
Expressing presence and availability
Here I am
Reiteration of availability
Playing pretend
Engaging in make-believe or false appearances
And dancing in the rain
Metaphorical reference to finding joy in challenging circumstances
Here I am
Repetition of being present and available
Here I am
Reiteration of availability
Playing pretend
Continuation of engaging in make-believe or false appearances
And dancing in the rain
Continuation of finding joy in challenging circumstances
Can I be the dog ear of your favourite book
Asking to be a significant and cherished part of the partner's life
The page the heart turns to for repeated looks
Desire to be a memorable and revisited part of the partner's life
I should have drank up your milkshake
Regret for not enjoying and savoring moments together
I should have came out clean
Regret for not being honest and open
and when the weight of it crushes us
Suggesting that facing challenges should lead to rest or resolution
you should have gone to sleep
Implying that the partner should find solace in sleep during difficult times
I should be worried about the future
Acknowledging a need to be concerned about the future
I should be counting time
Acknowledging the importance of time
I should have told you what I'm feeling
Regret for not expressing emotions for peace of mind
for some peace of mind
Desire for emotional transparency for personal well-being
Here I am
Repetition of being present and available
Here I am
Reiteration of availability
Playing pretend
Continuation of engaging in make-believe or false appearances
And dancing in the rain
Continuation of finding joy in challenging circumstances
Here I am
Repetition of being present and available
Here I am
Reiteration of availability
Playing pretend
Continuation of engaging in make-believe or false appearances
And dancing in the rain
Continuation of finding joy in challenging circumstances
Dancing in the rain
Embracing the joy of life, even in challenging situations
Can I be the last bite of your favourite dessert?
Asking to be a memorable and cherished part of the partner's life
The kind that just tastes so good that it physically hurts
Describing a desire to be a pleasurable and unforgettable part of the partner's life
Can I be the dog ear of your favourite book?
Repetition of a desire to be a memorable and revisited part of the partner's life
The page the heart turns to for repeated looks
Reiteration of being a significant and cherished part of the partner's life
Can I be the last bite of your favourite dessert?
Continuation of describing a desire to be a pleasurable and unforgettable part of the partner's life
The kind that just tastes so good that it physically hurts
Continuation of expressing a desire for a deep and physically impactful connection
Can I be the dog ear of your favourite book?
Repetition of a desire to be a memorable and revisited part of the partner's life
The page the heart turns to for repeated looks
Reiteration of being a significant and cherished part of the partner's life
