The line about praying for the sky to blow away (or maybe stay) is very fascinating to me.
I always imagine a sort of suicidal woman who still has hope, but is faithless.
She has no faith that things will work out. She thinks everything will go badly. (prayed for the sky to blow away)
But she still holds onto the hope that something might happen that will change her life for the better. (or maybe stay)
The next line really spells out plainly what the previous line only vaguely infers: her suicidal tendencies laid aside due to momentary hopeful moments...
"For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more"
The last line in that stanza "And stayed for more" is particularly haunting.
