Kissing in the Rain
Echoes of Rain-Kissed Memories: Love, Regret, and Moving On
Lyrics
They say it takes five good things to offset a bad
Emphasizing the idea that positive experiences can balance out negative ones.
So why do I keep ruminating on what we had
Reflecting on past memories and questioning the focus on a relationship that wasn't beneficial.
When you were never good for me, the things that you said
Acknowledging that the person was not good for the singer, recalling hurtful things said.
Like it was always my fault in the end
Highlighting a pattern of blaming the singer for problems in the relationship.
You hated that I never liked to drink with your friends
Describing a dislike for socializing with the partner's friends due to differences in preferences.
‘Cause I hate IPAs but you asked me to pretend
Recalling an instance of pretending to enjoy something (drinking IPAs) for the partner's sake.
Oh, I could see the warning signs right up to the end
Noticing warning signs in the relationship but continuing until the end.
So why can’t I stop thinking bout that one time when
Questioning why a specific positive memory is still on the mind despite the overall negative experience.
We were kissing in the rain
Describing a memorable moment of kissing in the rain.
On our first date
Emphasizing the significance of the kiss occurring on the first date.
I still see the grin on your face
Recollecting the partner's happy expression during the rain kiss.
And my clothes all got soaked
Referring to getting wet in the rain during the kiss.
So you gave me your shirt
Recalling the partner's gesture of giving their shirt to the singer.
And it’s all that I have left of you today
Expressing that the given shirt is the only remaining connection to the partner.
When you met my family you were charming as hell
Describing the partner's charm when meeting the singer's family.
My brother didn’t like you, I don’t think you could tell
Indicating the brother's disapproval of the partner despite the partner's obliviousness.
‘Cause you were never focusing on anyone else
Noting the partner's self-centered nature, focusing only on themselves.
You only ever seemed to care about yourself, yeah
Highlighting the partner's lack of concern for others.
I took you to a party and you hit on my friends
Recalling a situation where the partner flirted with the singer's friends at a party.
But when I tried to talk to you you blamed it on them
Blaming others when confronted, avoiding responsibility.
I wanted you to listen but that’s just not your style
Expressing a desire for the partner to listen more, but recognizing their communication style.
So why do I keep looking at your pics online
Questioning the reason for still looking at the partner's pictures online.
Of you kissing in the rain
Revisiting the memory of the partner kissing someone else in the rain.
I don’t know her name
Not knowing the other person's name but recalling the partner's expression.
But I can see the grin on your face
Describing the partner's happy expression in a new context.
She looks good in your posts and she loves you the most
Observing the partner's new relationship and their apparent happiness.
I guess that’s all you wanted to get from me
Suggesting that the partner achieved what they wanted from the singer.
I won’t be your arm candy, I’m worth more than that
Rejecting the role of being mere "arm candy," asserting self-worth.
I’ll let go of the good cause it’s not worth all the bad
Choosing to let go of the positive aspects due to the overall negativity in the relationship.
I hope someday you realize what you did to my head
Hoping for the partner's realization of the impact on the singer's mental state.
But I still hope you think about that one time when
Expressing a contradictory hope that the partner remembers the positive rain kiss.
