Lyrics
Sometimes I want rain
Sometimes I desire a change or emotional release symbolized by rain.
To hide from bright lights of summers and wide smiles
I want to escape the intensity of summer and the pressure of constant happiness.
I'm not what I show
I am not truly represented by what I present outwardly.
Oh let's talk this through
Let's discuss our feelings and thoughts openly.
You do not know me and I do not know you
There is a lack of mutual understanding between us.
Oh let's go to the park
Suggesting a simple, natural escape to the park for a brief moment of reprieve.
And live for a minute
Emphasizing the need to live in the present for a short period.
We'll avoid the windows at night
Avoiding the vulnerabilities exposed in the darkness of the night.
Our reflections they frighten us
Our own reflections cause fear and discomfort.
And our heartbeats they frighten us
The rhythm of our heartbeats contributes to our fear.
When our eyes meet it frightens us
The act of making eye contact induces fear.
And our bodies they frighten us when they touch, when they touch
Physical contact is also intimidating and fear-inducing.
And you're awfully quiet
Noting someone's unusual silence, possibly indicating inner turmoil.
There's a tree in my mind and it grows and it grows
A metaphorical tree in the mind symbolizes growing thoughts or issues.
And you're awfully quiet
Reiterating the person's unusual quietness.
There's leaves behind my eyes, does it show, does it show?
Suggesting that there are hidden emotions or thoughts visible in their eyes.
Oh I've got a blind spot for myself, you say
Acknowledging a personal blind spot or lack of self-awareness.
Who do you think you are?
Questioning one's identity or self-perception.
And you're awfully quiet now
Reiterating the unusual silence of the person.
Have I said too much, have I said too much?
Expressing concern about having shared too much information.
Oh let's go to the park
Repeating the suggestion to go to the park for a momentary escape.
And live for a minute
Reemphasizing the importance of living in the present.
We'll avoid the windows at night
Advising avoidance of vulnerability during the night.
Our reflections they frighten us
Restating the fear induced by self-reflection.
And our heartbeats they frighten us
Highlighting the fear associated with the rhythm of heartbeats.
When our eyes meet it frightens us
Reiterating the fear caused by making eye contact.
And our bodies they frighten us when they touch, when they touch
Reiterating the fear induced by physical touch.
