Lyrics
When the rain comes down again
Expressing anticipation or acknowledgment of a recurring event, possibly a challenging or emotional situation.
When the clouds come out again
Highlighting the arrival of a gloomy or difficult circumstance, parallel to the mention of rain.
Please say you're lonely
Requesting confirmation of feelings of loneliness.
Please say you'll let me keep you dry
Pleading for permission to provide emotional support and comfort during tough times.
You weigh so much more when you are smiling
Stating that a person appears heavier or burdened when smiling, possibly alluding to hidden emotional struggles.
And you're a feather when you frown
Contrasting the lightness of a person when happy with the heaviness when sad or upset.
I can't help you stand when you're not falling
Expressing a desire to assist only when necessary, not when the person is stable.
And I can't pick you up when you're not down
Acknowledging the inability to help someone who is not currently facing difficulties or challenges.
When the rain comes down again
Repetition of the initial anticipation of rain, emphasizing its significance.
When the clouds come out again
Reiteration of the return of challenging circumstances symbolized by clouds.
Please say you're lonely
Repeating the request for confirmation of loneliness, suggesting the persistence of emotional struggles.
Please say you'll let me keep you dry
Repeating the plea to be allowed to provide support during difficult times.
You said colors all look brighter in the sunlight
Contrasting individual perspectives on brightness, indicating a personal preference for darkness.
But I see so much better in the dark
Stating a preference for clarity and insight in challenging or obscure situations.
You floated off to find your friends out on the fire escape
Describing a departure to connect with others, with an acknowledgment of limitations in joining.
And I know I can't follow you that far
Recognizing the impossibility of following someone too distant or unattainable.
I can't follow you
Emphasizing the inability to pursue the person or situation mentioned earlier.
Maybe love is a flame you say
Introducing the idea that love may be transient and prone to fading.
That flickers and fades away
Suggesting the fragility of love and its tendency to diminish over time.
Nobody can make it rain
Affirming the uncontrollable nature of external factors affecting emotions, like rain.
But I'm gonna wait
Expressing a commitment to wait despite challenges and uncertainties.
And if your love is a flame it's strange
Highlighting the paradoxical desire for challenges (rain) even if love is described as a flame.
To wish for the clouds and the pouring rain
Expressing a wish for difficulties despite the contradictory nature of the request.
When you're happy you just don't need me around
Acknowledging that during happy times, the speaker might be unnecessary or less valued.
When the rain comes down again
Reiterating the anticipation of rain, suggesting a cyclical pattern of challenges.
When the clouds come out again
Repeating the return of difficult circumstances marked by the reappearance of clouds.
Please say you're lonely
Persistently seeking confirmation of loneliness during challenging times.
Please say you'll let me keep you dry
Repeating the plea to be allowed to provide emotional support during difficulties.
