Hello Rain Lyrics

packing boxes all night
reading letters from you for the last time
for real

leaving you behind was easy
now i know how little you feel

and i wasted all my wishes on you
i had nothing left to gain

so goodbye
wishing you well
and hello rain

i made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain

so goodbye
wishing you well
and hello rain

thought i 'd thrown them all away
find one last souvenir behind
my bureau drawer

feeling sad all on my own
i don't need you for that any more

and i wasted all my wishes on you
i had nothing left to gain

so goodbye
wishing you well
and hello rain

i made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain

so goodbye
wishing you well
and hello rain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
