I Wish It Would Rain
Yearning Storm: Mayer Hawthorne's Melodic Plea for Heartache
Lyrics
Well I wish that it would rain
Expressing a desire for rain as a metaphor for emotional release or cleansing.
Heavy rain down from the sky
Desiring a heavy rain, emphasizing the intensity of the emotional burden.
Maybe then you wouldn't see the teardrops in my eyes
Suggesting that rain would hide the tears, concealing inner sadness.
Well I wish that it would rain
Reiterating the wish for rain as a disguise for emotional pain.
It would be a great disguise
Highlighting rain as a great disguise to mask personal struggles.
Maybe then you wouldn't see the teardrops in my eyes
Reemphasizing the desire for rain to conceal visible teardrops.
And all of the raindrops that fall down on my face
Describing raindrops falling on the face, symbolizing emotional release.
Erase all the memories of you and your embrace
Expressing a hope that rain erases memories of a past relationship.
I'll long for the moment that I lose this bitter taste
Longing for a moment when the bitter taste of the past is overcome.
And I don't want you to see me this way
Expressing a desire to hide vulnerable emotions from someone.
Well I wish that it would rain
Repeating the wish for rain, indicating the persistence of emotional pain.
Heavy rain down from the sky
Reiterating the desire for heavy rain, intensifying the metaphor.
Ooh maybe then I wouldn't see you walking right on by
Expressing a wish that rain would prevent seeing someone walking away.
Well I wish that it would rain
Repeating the desire for rain, suggesting a prolonged emotional storm.
Let it storm just for awhile
Desiring a storm, possibly symbolizing a period of emotional turbulence.
Ooh yeah maybe then you wouldn't see this sadness in my smile
Suggesting that rain would hide the sadness reflected in a smile.
Ooh no and all of the raindrops that fall down on my face
Describing raindrops falling on the face, reiterating emotional cleansing.
Erase all the memories of you and your embrace
Expressing a hope that rain erases memories of past embraces.
I'll long for the moment that I lose this bitter taste
Longing for a moment when the bitter taste of memories is overcome.
And I don't want you to see me this way
Reiterating a desire to hide vulnerable emotions from someone.
Rain down rain down
Repeating the plea for rain, emphasizing the need for emotional relief.
Rain down rain down
Continuing the plea for rain, reinforcing the intensity of the request.
Rain down rain down on me
Expressing a direct request for rain to fall on the person, seeking solace.
Rain down rain down
Repeating the direct request for rain, intensifying the plea for comfort.
Rain down rain down
Continuing the plea for rain, emphasizing the emotional need for relief.
Rain down rain down on me
Reiterating the direct request for rain on the person, seeking emotional healing.
