Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Rain fell that day when the sky went black on everyone
These things we're told not to talk about, not to
Anyone
When You fell you took the fall for everything that I
Had ever done
So help me never forget just how beautiful the sky
Could be
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
It's coming down I close my eyes to feel the rain like
It could wash away a thousand years of heartbreak
So just a little, let the rain fall down
Oh oh oh oh
Wash away these wounds that cut me down
Oh oh oh oh
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
Today we'll start again the second we open up our eyes
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
These things we're told not to talk about, not to
Anyone
When You fell you took the fall for everything that I
Had ever done
So help me never forget just how beautiful the sky
Could be
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
It's coming down I close my eyes to feel the rain like
It could wash away a thousand years of heartbreak
So just a little, let the rain fall down
Oh oh oh oh
Wash away these wounds that cut me down
Oh oh oh oh
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
Today we'll start again the second we open up our eyes
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
You have lifted me just like the taste of falling rain
And my world has never felt, it has never felt the same
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
Yesterday I was six feet under ground and now I'm on my
Knees
And I can't explain, I can't explain any of this
