i feel like this song is about a relationship gone bad without a legitimate reason, and they are trying to figure out where it went wrong to try to fix it. "you sigh look away" and "soft speak with a mean streak nearly brought me to my knees" show the couple fighting. "you can drive all night looking for the answer in the pouring rain" shows the want for an answer to how the relationship could be mended. "if we could find a reason a reason to change" and "if you could find a reason a reason to stay" also shows how the singer wants their relationship to be alright again.
@edalobo your right but there is a reason, cage the elephant goes really deep with their songs and most of them have links to dark pasts. Watch the music video it explains alot

@edalobo The line "soft speak with a mean streak nearly brought me to my knees" isn't about a fight they had he's describing how she's so sweet 'soft speak' but has this ability to hurt him 'with a mean streak' and how this combination of things nearly made him marry her 'nearly brought me to my knees' is referring to getting down onto your knees and proposing.
