"this song is about God, and how you can always tell He(the sunshine) is there by the suffering(shadow)" I agree completely likethecomet!

I also think that "we are crooked souls trying to stay up straight" refers to how as christians we are always trying to please God but we often fall short and fall back into sin. Its ok to fall short because we are forgiven by through the grace of God, there is a bible verse I could quote thats just like that but right now i cant remember what book its in, its something like "for all have sinned and fallen short, but are forgiven in through the grace of God" I always wondered about "dry eyes in the pouring rain" but now i think it might mean that we are in a hard situation (pouring rain) but we know that God will get us through (so we have dry eyes)? Maybe, maybe not :)
