Lyrics
We can blame it on the rain
We can attribute our situation to external factors, such as circumstances or events beyond our control.
Bags packed I knew I couldn't stay
I packed my bags because I realized I couldn't remain in the current state or relationship.
You showed me colors that I never knew about
You introduced me to new experiences and emotions that were previously unfamiliar to me.
Then showed me how to walk away
Then you taught me how to detach or leave, implying a separation or breakup.
Anyway
Despite everything.
Now towards the end of my days, this sits heaviest
As I approach the end of my life, the weight of these experiences is particularly burdensome.
And maybe I made it this way, but I had to
Perhaps I played a role in creating this situation, but it was necessary for me to do so.
I know you wouldn't believe but if you'd asked me
I acknowledge that you might find it hard to believe, but if you had inquired, I would have given you my all.
I swear I'd have gave you everything
I would have willingly provided everything I had to offer.
As I watched these grey skies turn to black
Observing the transformation of the once-gray skies into darkness.
And maybe if you were the same as when I met you
If you were still the person I initially encountered, you might reconsider your actions.
You'd drop your fists and take it all back
Choosing to drop a confrontational stance and retract hurtful words or actions.
Now who can say, your skin tone of the day
Uncertainty about the mood or emotional state you displayed on a particular day.
Was it bright and red or pale like the time I said I'd run away
Wondering if your skin tone reflected anger or paleness during the moment I mentioned leaving.
To Chicago, in the summer
Referencing a desire to escape to Chicago during the summer.
I got my things together knowing that you'd just drag me back under
Preparing to leave, despite the anticipation that you might pull me back into the situation.
Anyway
Regardless of everything.
Now towards the end of my days, this sits heaviest
As I near the end of my life, the emotional burden becomes more pronounced.
And maybe I made it this way, but I had to
Acknowledging a potential role in creating the current circumstances, driven by necessity.
Cause I asked for peace
Expressing a desire for peace and resolution.
Honestly believing that you would concede
Sincerely believing that you would compromise or find a middle ground.
Losing all the love that I had, to spend
Losing all the love I possessed, only to spend it.
I hope that I can find it again
Hoping to rediscover that love again.
I hope that I can find it again
Reiterating the hope for a rediscovery of lost love.
Cause I know you wouldn't believe but if you'd asked me
Reaffirming the willingness to give everything if asked.
I swear I'd have gave you everything
As I witness the transformation of gray skies into darkness once again.
As I watched these grey skies turn to black
If I could rewrite the past from the moment we met, I would retract everything.
And if I, could rewrite it all, from when I met you,
If given the chance, I would abandon writing and take back everything.
I'd drop this pen and take it all back
Expressing a desire to undo past actions and words.
I'd escape to my old room (Blue skies)
Fantasizing about returning to a familiar space, symbolized by the old room.
See lavender and cherry blooms (On the horizon line)
Imagining serene scenes with lavender and cherry blossoms on the horizon.
You loved that innocence in me
You appreciated the innocence in me during that time.
I'd appreciate the golden hue (Blue skies)
Expressing a longing for the golden moments of sunlight reflecting off you.
Of sunlight bouncing off of you as it
Describing the beauty of sunlight as it sets on the horizon.
Sets (On the horizon line)
Emphasizing the setting of the sun on the horizon.
As it sets on you and me
Reflecting on the setting of the sun on both of us.
As it sets on you and me
Repeating the acknowledgment of the sun setting on both individuals.
