You Only Miss Me When It's Rainin'
When Rain Becomes Memory
Lyrics
Yeah, I wake up to the sun through the window
Expressing waking up to a bright morning with sunlight streaming through the window.
A good day shining through my blinds
Describing a good day with positivity coming through window blinds.
I hate to say it, but you and I both know
Acknowledging a shared understanding between the speaker and someone else.
Days like this, I don't cross your mind
Suggesting that on pleasant days, the person does not think about the speaker.
So I'm praying for a storm tonight.
Expressing a desire for a storm, possibly to match emotional turmoil.
You only miss me when it's raining
Stating that the person only realizes the speaker's absence during rainy moments.
I hear the thunder and I know what's going down
Connecting the speaker's awareness of thunder to understanding the emotional situation.
Ain't nothing ever gonna change it
Asserting that circumstances won't change the person's feelings.
So let the flood right in and drown it all out
Encouraging acceptance of emotional floods and their impact.
We only argue neath the sound of a tin roof
Noting that arguments occur specifically under the noise of a tin roof.
Who cares if it's wrong or right?
Indicating a lack of concern about the morality of arguments.
You only miss me when it's raining
Reiterating that the person only misses the speaker during rain.
Girl, I hope it's raining
Expressing a wish for rain wherever the person is at the moment.
Wherever you are tonight
Suggesting a desire for rain to evoke certain emotions in the person.
Tonight I hope it ain't just whiskey pouring
Hoping that the person's thoughts are not solely influenced by alcohol.
Cause heaven knows what'll cross your mind
Speculating on the unpredictable nature of the person's thoughts.
You can say that I'm crazy, but it sure feels like
Addressing perceptions of the speaker's behavior as crazy but emotionally significant.
You only miss me when it's raining
Repeating the theme that the person only misses the speaker in the rain.
I hear the thunder and I know what's going down
Connecting awareness of thunder to the recognition of emotional patterns.
Ain't nothing ever gonna change it
Asserting the enduring nature of the person's emotions.
So let the flood right in and drown it all out
Encouraging acceptance of emotional floods, despite their persistence.
We only argue neath the sound of a tin roof
Highlighting the consistent setting of arguments under a tin roof.
Who cares if it's wrong or right?
Emphasizing a lack of concern about the moral implications of arguments.
You only miss me when it's raining. Girl, I hope it's raining
Reiterating that the person only misses the speaker during rain.
Wherever you are tonight
Expressing a wish for rain wherever the person is at the moment.
I left the door unlocked and I poured a glass of wine
Describing preparations and openness for the person's return.
Cause another man's had his chance at storms tonight
Suggesting that another person had an opportunity with the person in the past.
Raining. Girl, you only miss me when it's raining. Yeah
Repeating the theme that the person only misses the speaker in the rain.
You only miss me when it's raining
Stating that the person only realizes the speaker's absence during rainy moments.

So let the flood come and drown it all out
