Thank you 
LYRICS
Stepping in the summer rain.
It burns as it washes around me.
But this time, you aren't here,
And the water only reminds me -
You are gone.
You are gone.
And there's no seeking shelter, but I don't want to.
I remember the heat from your hands.
And turning back just means staying there.
Good god let me breathe again.
You are gone.
You are gone.
Hold me close, hold me tight, one more time,
Then wash away just like the summer rain.
(rainfall)
you are gone, you are gone, stepping in the summer rain, burns as it washes around me,
but this time you aren't here, good god let me breathe again,
hold me close, hold me tight one more time, then wash away
just like the summer rain.
Behind the Song
I think the metaphors are pretty obvious here so there won't be much of a "behind the song" this week, but to me this is about a desperate need for cleansing.
I played with the syntax of the lyrics as if they came from someone walking through the streets and getting knocked the fuck down with memories they weren't anticipating.
When the rain comes in, I hope to create a feeling of relief as well as sorrow that it's actually happening.
🖤Thank you🖤
