This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Girl you are like summer rain
Soft and warm
And delicate
And I am a foolish boy
Trying to catch every drop
Of you on my tongue
But there's just too many
And I can't get enough
You're inches from my fingertips
I've come as close as I can get
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
'Cause I don't ever wanna miss
Being here with you like this
I'm trying but it's all that I can do
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Girl you are the morning sky
Glowing calm with burning light
And as I am waking up
You paint your reflection in my eye
I wonder if you've noticed
I can't look away
You're inches from my fingertips
I've come as close as I can get
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
'Cause I don't ever wanna miss
Being here with you like this
I'm trying but it's all that I can do
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Just you say
So you say
It's a brilliance meant to fade
Love is wild like a fire burning
Underneath the rain
But this is not the same
You're inches from my fingertips
I've come as close as I can get
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Yeah, 'cause I don't ever wanna miss
Being here with you like this
I'm trying but it's all that I can do
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Up to you
Ahh
Girl you are like summer rain
Soft and warm
And delicate
And I am a foolish boy
Trying to catch every drop
That I can of it
Soft and warm
And delicate
And I am a foolish boy
Trying to catch every drop
Of you on my tongue
But there's just too many
And I can't get enough
You're inches from my fingertips
I've come as close as I can get
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
'Cause I don't ever wanna miss
Being here with you like this
I'm trying but it's all that I can do
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Girl you are the morning sky
Glowing calm with burning light
And as I am waking up
You paint your reflection in my eye
I wonder if you've noticed
I can't look away
You're inches from my fingertips
I've come as close as I can get
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
'Cause I don't ever wanna miss
Being here with you like this
I'm trying but it's all that I can do
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Just you say
So you say
It's a brilliance meant to fade
Love is wild like a fire burning
Underneath the rain
But this is not the same
You're inches from my fingertips
I've come as close as I can get
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Yeah, 'cause I don't ever wanna miss
Being here with you like this
I'm trying but it's all that I can do
I'm reaching but the rest is up to you
Up to you
Ahh
Girl you are like summer rain
Soft and warm
And delicate
And I am a foolish boy
Trying to catch every drop
That I can of it

how has no one commented yet?!
this song is amazing. the lyrics just capture that feeling you get inside of you when you have a crush/are in love and you just dont know exactly whats going on in the other person's head. you're praying that they feel the same and that the feelings they have for you aren't fading. it takes 2 people to make a relationship work, and you just have to trust the other person enough to hold their end of it and not loose that brilliant feeling you get when youre around them.
marry me, jason?
