Lyrics

It's raining again, like the night before

Expressing a recurrence of rainy weather, possibly reflecting a somber mood.

You hide under the blankets like you do every storm

Describing a habitual response to storms – seeking comfort under blankets.

I went to bed fully clothed that night

Recalling a specific night when the narrator went to bed fully dressed.

But didn't fall asleep till the sunrise

Highlighting difficulty falling asleep until sunrise, suggesting inner turmoil.

Tell me, will you stand your ground

Prompting a question about standing firm in the face of challenges.

We're on the top of the world, but you're looking down

Despite being in a high position, someone is emotionally distant or troubled.

I remember the day you came to paint my nails and you chose the colours pink and black

Recalling a moment of intimacy where nails were painted with specific colors.

When I asked you why, you said "it reminds me of us"

Linking the colors to the relationship, indicating a shared significance.

She asked "darling do you love me?" I replied "more than anything"

Affirming strong feelings of love when asked, emphasizing the depth of emotion.

She said "then can you pay for the bus ride home I promise I won't leave you alone in the rain"

Referencing a promise not to leave, followed by a contrast of breaking that promise.

But you did, now i'm soaking wet

Expressing the aftermath of broken promises, feeling left alone in the rain.

We're on top of the world but your head's not here yet

Despite being in a positive situation, the partner seems mentally distant.

Tell me, will you stand your ground

Repeating the question about standing firm, indicating a need for reassurance.

We're on the top of the world, but you're looking down

Reiterating the emotional distance despite being in a seemingly good place.

Now we're fighting again cuz you promised me you wouldn't walk out like before

Referencing conflict arising from broken promises and the fear of abandonment.

And we're kissing in the rain cuz the yelling got so bad that I couldn't take it anymore

Describing a shift from conflict to seeking solace through physical intimacy.

Now I feel my colour drain cuz I know that was the last time I'd watch you walk out my door

Expressing a realization that a significant moment has passed, perhaps signifying a breakup.

I didn't know what to say except you make me feel like I'm fighting all your wars

Conveying a feeling of being burdened by the partner's struggles and emotional battles.

Tell me, that you won't come back around

Pleading for assurance that the partner won't return to cause further emotional distress.

You'll leave, so I can finally break down

Expressing a desire for the partner to leave, allowing the narrator to release pent-up emotions.

Tell me, don't stand your ground

Requesting the partner not to persist in their emotional distance or detachment.

You're on top of the world, but I'm nowhere to be

Describing a situation where one person feels isolated despite the partner's success.

Found

Indicating a sense of finality or resolution in the discovery or acceptance of being 'nowhere to be found.'
