Raincoat Lyrics
I'm standing outside waiting around without you
Trying hard to concentrate on the new
I know you feel it, you want it, you seek the truth
Standing outside waiting around without you
Had a dream of a place on another plane
Where there is no light, and there is no shame
You'd say the sweetest things right out of the blue
The light is fading, and the clouds are rolling through
The only thing I need is
I wanna wear your raincoat,
I wanna wear your yellow raincoat
Cause the sky is coming down
And I'm lying on the ground
I wanna wear your raincoat
Can I please wear your yellow raincoat?
I drift along in a sea of doubt
I can hear your name as the tide rolls out
And I never thought I'd live my life without you
I'm standing outside waiting around without you
Standing outside breaking out of the blue
The light is fading, and the clouds are rolling through
The only thing I need is
I wanna wear your raincoat,
I wanna wear your yellow raincoat
Cause the sky is coming down
And I'm lying on the ground
I wanna wear your raincoat
Can I please wear your yellow raincoat?
Hold out your hands
Hold out your hands
Hold out your hands, hold out your hands
For me
I wanna wear your raincoat,
I wanna wear your yellow raincoat
Cause the sky is coming down
And I'm lying on the ground
I wanna wear your raincoat
Can I please wear your yellow raincoat?
Save yourself tonight
Say, can I wear your raincoat?
Trying hard to concentrate on the new
I know you feel it, you want it, you seek the truth
Standing outside waiting around without you
Where there is no light, and there is no shame
You'd say the sweetest things right out of the blue
The only thing I need is
I wanna wear your yellow raincoat
Cause the sky is coming down
And I'm lying on the ground
I wanna wear your raincoat
Can I please wear your yellow raincoat?
I can hear your name as the tide rolls out
And I never thought I'd live my life without you
I'm standing outside waiting around without you
Standing outside breaking out of the blue
The only thing I need is
I wanna wear your yellow raincoat
Cause the sky is coming down
And I'm lying on the ground
I wanna wear your raincoat
Can I please wear your yellow raincoat?
Hold out your hands
Hold out your hands, hold out your hands
For me
I wanna wear your yellow raincoat
Cause the sky is coming down
And I'm lying on the ground
I wanna wear your raincoat
Can I please wear your yellow raincoat?
Say, can I wear your raincoat?

I think this song has something to do with him feeling like he needs her to protect him from the world. The raincoat is clearly symbolism for her being with him. If she is with him she will save him from the rain or the sadness that he feels like he is stuck in. He needs her to come back and he is willing to do whatever it takes even though he feels helpless and stuck.
