I think those lines:

Minutes turned to hours and became our dates when we shared raindrops that turned into lakes Bodies started merging and the lines got grey now I'm looking at him thinking Maybe he's okay

actually refers to the "Stockholm Syndrome" that hostages exhibit towards their captors. The "hostage" has seen minutes turn to hours. The captors have exhibited good will toward the hostage, giving the hostage water (raindrops). And these raindrops have turned into lakes (time has passed). Everything is not so black and white anymore...shades of gray. These captors aren't so bad after all (I'm looking at him thinking maybe he's ok)

I completely agree. It seems like she started having an attraction to her captor.
