Even in the Rain Lyrics
You wore your wrestling badge from your
wrestling match
You wore a t-shirt over your suit that
says you just won State
I guess I still don’t mind that you
were late
I guess we must have done a lot of kissing
Must have known not what we were missing
She followed us to the motel and I lied
all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way
to Lake Geneva
I let you wear the helmet even though
you never offered anyway
Even in the rain
This could be the day the earth stood still
Take it from me I know we’ve had our fill
Never been this calm as I wander ‘round
Never bring harm to those that I
surround
Well I keep consuming to avoid my own
thoughts, they tell me
Love keeping busy, love keeping busy
at any old cost
But there’s nothing I could say would
keep my mind off of you
Well there’s nothing I could do to keep
my mind from thinking of you
Even in the rain
She followed us to the motel and I lied
all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way
to Lake Geneva
I let you wear the helmet even though
you never offered anyway
Even in the rain
wrestling match
You wore a t-shirt over your suit that
says you just won State
I guess I still don’t mind that you
were late
I guess we must have done a lot of kissing
Must have known not what we were missing
all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way
to Lake Geneva
you never offered anyway
Take it from me I know we’ve had our fill
Never been this calm as I wander ‘round
Never bring harm to those that I
surround
thoughts, they tell me
Love keeping busy, love keeping busy
at any old cost
But there’s nothing I could say would
keep my mind off of you
Well there’s nothing I could do to keep
my mind from thinking of you
all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way
to Lake Geneva
I let you wear the helmet even though
you never offered anyway

This seems like a bit of a sad song--a girl infatuated with a self-absorbed guy. The guy shows up late, doesn't offer her the helmet, generally shows he doesn't care about her.
The one thing I don't really understand is the "she" in the chorus--maybe another girl he's taking advantage of?
Anyway, though it's a bit depressing, I love the tune and the lyrics. One of the best off I'm Going Away.
I think the "she" could be the man's girlfriend, and the narrator is the other woman. Hence why she "lied all the way". Could be that she was lying about her relationship with the man to his actual girlfriend. It would also explain why she was lying about going to the motel...
