Let the Rain Wash It Away
Rain's Redemption: Cleansing Memories of Love Lost
Lyrics
The things you left here
The belongings or remnants you abandoned here
A box of CDs
A collection of CDs
Your clumps of brown hair
Bundles of your brown hair stuck in the drain
Stuck in the drain
Physical evidence of your presence that remains
A skinny black dress
A specific black dress associated with you
Your smell on the sheets
The lingering scent of you on the bed sheets
I'm gonna let the rain wash it away
Intention to let the rain cleanse these reminders away
And all the good times
Memories of enjoyable moments
Split a bottle of wine
Sharing a bottle of wine together
Your arms around me
Your embrace around me
Whisper my name
Softly speaking my name
Was smooth and easy
Easy and comfortable when our relationship was intact
When I called you mine
When I possessed you as mine
I'm gonna let the rain wash it away
Expressing the desire to erase these memories with rain
It's been flooding since you left
Emotional turmoil and overwhelming feelings since your departure
I'm soaked through and I'm cold
Feeling drenched and cold metaphorically
Feels like an echo
Sensation of repetition or a haunting memory
Ringing loud in my ears
An intense memory echoing persistently
You yelled and trembled
You expressed anger and fear, blaming me
Said I'm to blame
Your lack of trust causing emotional distress
You didn't trust me
Your distrust causing deep emotional pain
It brought me to tears
Your lack of trust evoking tears and sorrow
I'm gonna let the rain wash it away
Intent to let the rain wash away these hurtful memories
It's been flooding since you left
Continued emotional turmoil since your departure
I'm soaked through and I'm cold
Feeling emotionally drained and cold since you left
Just like a chalk mark
An analogy likening memories to fleeting chalk marks
Once yellow and bright
A fleeting happiness, disappearing quickly
That happy moment
A joyful moment lost abruptly
Is gone the next day
Desire to move forward and let go of the past
I need to move on
Erasing the memories of who you used to be
Forget what you're like
Intention to forget your characteristics or traits
I'm gonna let the rain wash it away
Will allow the rain to cleanse and wash away the memories
