'One comes, the rain will always be
And things I am
Are things that should not be
They laughed at me but we never bothered
My friends and I
There were no others'
This bit seems to discuss when you're younger and we rely on our friends to get us through. When we're young we don't have a sense of who we truly are. The rain suggests things will always happen, bad things, good things, because life is musical, there's a beginning and an end.
The next refrain sorta thing:
'Rain may come
The rain may never be
In things you are
Are things I need to be
My friends were there but they never bothered
Now there's you and I an
There are no others'
This seems to deal with when you've met your significant other, and you realise the friends you thought you could rely on are gone-and you seem to focus on what you have now-which is your lover/husband/wife. The death of a friendship seemed to happen, almost musically.
'The rain will come
The rain will always be
In things I am
Are things that have to be
My friends have come and I never bothered
Myself and I
There is no other'
This bit is when you realise that you can only ever trust yourself, only ever rely on yourself because you may have friends, you may have a lover but the one person you can count on is yourself.
The idea of music equalling emotion is hinted all the way through this song. Living is musical as things will always happen, things will always end.
