Lyrics
I can feel it when the rain comes
I can sense a change in the atmosphere when it rains
Hear the tin can roof
Hearing the sound of raindrops on a tin can roof
I'd rip off this ceiling honey
Expressing a willingness to remove barriers or limitations
To see some proof
Desire to witness tangible evidence or confirmation
That it's real
Questioning the authenticity or reality of a situation
Real
Reiteration of the theme of questioning reality
I'm not usually like this
Acknowledging a departure from the usual behavior
Usually not so bland
Typically not characterized by dullness or monotony
I'm terrified of the way
Expressing fear related to self-awareness and reminders
I'm reminded
Being confronted with reminders of personal identity
I'm not a boy
Asserting maturity and a transition from boyhood to manhood
I'm a man
Emphasizing a sense of adulthood
I can feel it when my heart drops
Sensing emotional distress when one's heart sinks
Taking all of me
Feeling emotionally drained and hollow
Leaves me empty
Resulting in a sense of emptiness and uncertainty
And questioning
Questioning the authenticity of the emotional experience
If it's real
Repeating the theme of questioning the reality of emotions
Is it real?
Continuing to explore the authenticity of feelings
Is it real?
Repeating the inquiry into the reality of the situation
Is it real?
Emphasizing the intensity of the questioning
Weepin
Expressing emotions of weeping or crying
Cryin
Continuing to convey emotional distress and sadness
Late night
Referencing activities during the late hours of the night
Drivin
Engaging in nighttime driving as a metaphor for introspection
When you can't sleep
Experiencing difficulty in sleeping and seeking connection
Do you feel me
Asking if the emotional connection is felt by the other person
And stay awake
Remaining awake and alert in anticipation
Light up green leaves
Using imagery of green leaves and headlights
Headlights blaring
Describing a state of distraction or detachment
Blankly staring
Portraying a distant and detached state of mind
And the music reminds me
Music triggering memories of the past
Of sometime behind me
Reflecting on moments in the past
Remember so kindly
Nostalgic remembrance of past experiences
But I guess that's gone
Realizing that the past is irretrievable
Is it real?
Reiterating the questioning of the authenticity of feelings
Is it real?
Continuing to explore the reality of emotions
Is it real?
Repeating the inquiry into the authenticity of the situation
Is it real?
Emphasizing the intensity of the questioning
Is it real?
Repeating the questioning to highlight uncertainty
Is it real?
Concluding with a final inquiry into the reality of the situation
