It's Like Rain

These dudes are from kansas, n isaw at warped tour in KC. This is KINDA the only song I like by em, but I think it's self-explanitory.

These guys rock out! They are amazing, should be bigger than they are! Great song!

Uhm. It's Howl if your wasted... Please fix it.

My wasted what?

uhm. its Hell if youll waste it... please keep it the same.

hahaha its not howl if your wasted its hell if your wasted on all of josephines old acoustic songs dillon posted the lyrics on their myspace soo yeah. this is right

this is about one of their girlfriends or ex girlfriends attempting suicide by OD'ing.

I have no clue what the guys truly wrote this song about...but what it makes me think of is two people who are in love, and one of them leaves for a great opportunity somewhere else...

"This is where i wanna be" like he wants to be wherever she is in that moment. Maybe he knows eventually they'll be separated but for now he wants to stay with her ("Making the most of what we got before it ends")

Then it seems like he's trying to convince her and himself it's best for her to take the opportunity (job or college or wherever) "This is your one chance/ Hell if you'll waste it/ I can't let it happen/ I love you too much"...yes, he wants to be with her, but he loves her enough to want what's best for her. "No matter where the wind blows us/ we've always got eachother/ and we're dancing this dance on time."

Then in the second verse when he says "This is where I wanna be/ when the summer sun comes crashing down/ and makes that autumn sound...cause that's the only way/ that we'll make it through the biting cold/ yeah if we hold close to the warmth/ that resonates in our bones" If you related this to her going away for college, for example, it's like he's saying in autumn when she's gone he'll miss her and want her to be with him, but they'll be able to hold on if they just think of the "warmth" of summer instead of the "biting cold" of winter.

At the bridge, then, "what i'm saying could save you" could simply mean he wants her to understand that this is what's right for her.

i don't think that's what they were going for, but it does kinda fit. I do get what justpassingthrough was saying though, it would make sense taken as someone attempting suicide too.

my would-be girlfriend if i wasnt such a screw up loves this song. i learned to play it on youtube and its amazing. one of my favorites by my favorite band

I think that the song is about living your life free from responsibility. It is about not being held down by everything in the world, and doing what you want instead of what everyone else wants you to do.
