Butterflies
Rainy Echoes: Love's Departure in Seattle
Lyrics
I'm sure it's cold now that fall has settled in
I perceive that the weather has turned cold with the arrival of fall.
I hope you have a jacket built for that sharp Seattle wind
I wish you are prepared for the chilly wind characteristic of Seattle.
Still see those amber eyes almost touchin' mine
I still vividly remember your amber eyes, almost feeling their proximity to mine.
I can only pray no one's under your skin
I can only hope that no one has become a significant part of your life.
I hope it rains, rains, rains in Seattle
I desire for rainy weather in Seattle, perhaps to evoke emotions within you.
Maybe it's cold enough to make you feel something
Maybe the cold can make you feel something.
When your lips kiss his like they once kissed mine
Recalling when your lips touched mine, contrasting with your current interactions.
I hope you don't get butterflies
I wish you won't experience the nervousness and excitement of new love.
He better hold you tight
Hoping that the new person in your life holds you securely.
You're out of sight, but not out of my mind
You might be physically distant, but you are still present in my thoughts.
Painful to let you go so I did it ahead of time
The difficulty of letting you go compelled me to do it in advance.
Didn't miss a beat when the first guy caught your eye
Not missing a beat when someone else caught your attention.
I fuckin' hope he's not under your skin
Hoping the new person doesn't become a significant part of your life.
But I know you were built to sin
Acknowledging that you have a tendency or inclination towards sinful behavior.
I hope it rains, rains, rains in Seattle
Expressing a desire for continued rainy weather to evoke emotions.
Maybe it's cold enough to make you feel something
Suggesting that the cold might bring out emotions in you.
When your lips kiss his like they once did mine
Reflecting on the past when your lips were once connected with mine.
I hope you don't get butterflies
Reiterating the hope that you don't experience the excitement of new love.
Barely blinked an eye as you left me behind
Not expressing much emotion when you left me.
I guess I hope he keeps you satisfied
Expressing a desire for the new person to satisfy you.
Seasons change and Seattle rain turns to cloudy days
Noting the changing seasons and the metaphorical transition in your feelings.
Just like the seasons I don't expect you to stay
Similar to the changing seasons, not expecting you to remain in my life.
So I hope it rains, rains, rains in Seattle
Repeating the wish for rainy weather in Seattle to evoke emotions.
Maybe it's cold enough to make you feel something
Reiterating the idea that the cold might bring out emotions in you.
When your lips kiss his like they once kissed mine
Recalling the past when your lips were intimately connected with mine.
I hope, I hope, I hope
A repetitive expression of the hope that you won't feel the excitement of new love.
I hope you don't get butterflies
Reiterating the desire that you don't experience the nervousness and excitement of new love.
