Although the song itself sounds calming and upbeat, I think it's actually about a relationship in termoil.
The 'clouds' perhaps symbolise everything that is being hidden from the narrator by their partner, an indication of mistrust or infidelity. The colour blue also features heavily, whereas blue sky or 'air' can mean clarity, it can also symbolise depression or hurt, which I believe the narrator is suffering from.
'I stole their top prize and paid them back with rain' is maybe a nod to retaliation or a sense of punishing the person that has betrayed their trust.
Beautiful song by a cruelly overlooked band.
