Brand New Friend
Rain-soaked Reflections: Seeking a Brand New Friend in the Pouring Storm
Lyrics
Walking in the pouring rain
Describing the act of walking in heavy rain.
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Walking alongside two individuals named Jesus and Jane.
Jane was in her turtleneck
Specifically describing Jane's attire, wearing a turtleneck.
I was much happier then
Expressing a past state of being much happier.
If I were to ask you
Asking a hypothetical question about the listener's actions.
What would you do with yourself?
Asking what the listener would do if prompted.
If I were to tell you
Continuing the hypothetical scenario of sharing information.
Would you just talk to yourself?
Questioning whether the listener would engage in self-reflection.
Am I asking oh for so much?
Wondering if one's desires or requests are excessive.
I'm not asking to be understood
Clarifying that the desire is not to be fully understood.
Am I asking oh for so much?
Reiterating the query about excessive requests.
I'm just looking for a brand new friend
Expressing the desire for a new friendship.
A brand new friend
Emphasizing the wish for a completely new friend.
Walking in the pouring rain
Repeating the act of walking in heavy rain.
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Repeating the companionship with Jesus and Jane.
Jane was in her turtleneck
Reiterating Jane's attire in a turtleneck.
I was much happier then
Reflecting on a happier past state of being.
Am I asking oh for so much?
Repeating the question about excessive desires.
You could do anything you wanted to
Indicating the listener's capability to achieve anything.
Am I asking oh for so much?
Repeating the inquiry about excessive desires but more restrained.
No, just something that I can hold down
Desiring something manageable or graspable.
'Cause it's all downhill now
Indicating a decline or deterioration in the current situation.
So let me count the times that we swore and lied that we'd
Counting instances of false promises or deception in a relationship.
Tie ourself to the railway line
Referencing a metaphorical tying to a railway line.
Let me count the times when of course we lied
Recalling times of deception when it wasn't considered a serious offense.
Well we knew no better, it was no crime
Recognizing a lack of knowledge or understanding at that time.
Let me count the times
Repeating the request to count certain instances.
I, well I don't know when I, when I'll be content
Expressing uncertainty about reaching contentment.
But I do know I need a brand new friend
Affirming the need for a new friendship.
