Pouring Rain Lyrics Meanings
by Victoria Tidwell

It started out with everything going right
Every day, another step into the light
And then, somehow, it turned into a fight
I walked away and cried myself to sleep at night
I came back knowing that you were gone for good
Regretting not trying to be understood
I see the rain, asking "why does it never snow"
When I see you, I wonder "why did I let you go"
You were the one thing that I thought I could hold to
You let go of me. You're gone. You're free
Now, out here in the pouring rain
I let every water droplet wash another memory away
It's loud and clear, the echo of your name
Every time I think of you, it still takes my breath away
I don't know if I'll ever be the same
All I know is that I want you with me
I remember every time you played my guitar
Every string a melody that still breaks my heart
I wish that you would come running into my arms
Where you're safe, you're sound, you're away from harm
You were the one thing that I thought I could hold to
You let go of me. You're gone. You're free
Now, out here in the pouring rain
I let every water droplet wash another memory away
It's loud and clear, the echo of your name
Every time I think of you, it still takes my breath away
I don't know if I'll ever be the same
All I know is that I want you with me
I want you, you
Oh, you

It started out with everything going right
Every day, another step into the light
And then, somehow, it turned into a fight
I walked away and cried myself to sleep at night
I came back knowing that you were gone for good
Regretting not trying to be understood
I see the rain, asking "why does it never snow"
When I see you, I wonder "why did I let you go"
You were the one thing that I thought I could hold to
You let go of me. You're gone. You're free
Now, out here in the pouring rain
I let every water droplet wash another memory away
It's loud and clear, the echo of your name
Every time I think of you, it still takes my breath away
I don't know if I'll ever be the same
All I know is that I want you with me
I remember every time you played my guitar
Every string a melody that still breaks my heart
I wish that you would come running into my arms
Where you're safe, you're sound, you're away from harm
You were the one thing that I thought I could hold to
You let go of me. You're gone. You're free
Now, out here in the pouring rain
I let every water droplet wash another memory away
It's loud and clear, the echo of your name
Every time I think of you, it still takes my breath away
I don't know if I'll ever be the same
All I know is that I want you with me
I want you, you
Oh, you
