The Reason
Emotional Rollercoaster: Unpredictable Love in 'The Reason'
Lyrics
You always keep me hanging on
You are consistently keeping me in a state of uncertainty or suspense.
You're so unpredictable
Your actions and behavior are difficult to predict.
Keep me waiting by the phone
I am kept waiting for your call by the phone.
Don't leave me here all miserable
Please don't abandon me here feeling wretched and unhappy.
Wash away the pain
Attempting to alleviate emotional distress or suffering.
You're the thunder and the reason I'm this way
You are both the source of intense emotions (thunder) and the cause of my current emotional state (reason).
Every single day can't tell if you'll be the sunshine or the rain
Every day is uncertain, and I cannot determine whether you will bring happiness (sunshine) or sadness (rain).
You're the reason I'm this way
You are the cause of my current emotional state.
You're the reason I'm this way
Reiteration that you are the cause of the speaker's current emotional state.
When I'm with you all is well
When I am with you, everything feels fine and stable.
Will you stay I just can't tell
The speaker is unsure whether you will stay or not.
Time goes by and you don't call
Time passes, and you do not make contact.
Do you love me or just not at all
The speaker is uncertain about your feelings—whether you love them or not at all.
Wash away the pain
Trying to cleanse or alleviate emotional pain.
You're the thunder and the reason I'm this way
You are both the source of intense emotions (thunder) and the cause of my current emotional state (reason).
Every single day can't tell if you'll be the sunshine or the rain
Every day is uncertain, and I cannot determine whether you will bring happiness (sunshine) or sadness (rain).
You're the reason I'm this way
You are the cause of my current emotional state.
You're the reason I'm this way
Reiteration that you are the cause of the speaker's current emotional state.
You put me back together
You are the one who has the ability to mend the speaker's emotional wounds.
Your the one who broke my heart
You are also the one who caused the speaker's heartbreak.
When I start to leave
As the speaker tries to leave, you convince them to stay.
Convincing me to stay mmmm
You have a persuasive influence on the speaker's decisions.
You're the reason,
You are the cause of the speaker's emotional state.
You're the reason I'm this way
Reiteration that you are the cause of the speaker's current emotional state.
Wash away the pain you're the thunder and the reason I'm this way
Trying to cleanse or alleviate emotional pain caused by you, who is both the source of intense emotions (thunder) and the reason for the speaker's current emotional state.
Every single day can't tell if you'll be the sunshine or the rain
Every day is uncertain, and I cannot determine whether you will bring happiness (sunshine) or sadness (rain).
Wash away the pain you're the thunder and the reason I'm this way
Trying to cleanse or alleviate emotional pain caused by you, who is both the source of intense emotions (thunder) and the reason for the speaker's current emotional state.
Every single day can't tell if you'll be the sunshine or the rain
