Kiss The Rain
Billy Myers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello
Can you hear me
Am I getting through to you

Hello
Is it late there
Is there laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone
'Cause I'm
Trying to explain
Something's wrong
Something's wrong
You just don't sound the same

Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside

Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

Hello
Do you miss me
Miss me
I hear you say you do
But not the way I'm missing you

What's new
How's the weather
Is it stormy where you are
You sound so close but it feels like you're so far
A word would mean anything
If you knew
What I'm left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go

Kiss the rain

As you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel you can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

(Kiss the rain)
(Kiss the rain)
(Kiss the rain)

Hello
Can you hear me




Can you hear me
Can you hear me

Overall Meaning

"Kiss the Rain" by Billie Myers is a melancholic love song that follows the theme of distance and longing. The lyrics are a conversation between two individuals who are physically apart but emotionally attached. The singer opens up by asking if the person on the other end can hear her and if she is getting through to them. She then asks if they are alone, to which she gets an affirmative response, but the tone of the person's voice sounds off, leading her to conclude that something is wrong.


The chorus advises the person to 'Kiss the Rain' whenever they miss and need her. The rain becomes a metaphor for the singer's love and support which the other person can physically feel. She clarifies that they are both under the same sky and experiencing the same emotions, and even though they are apart, they can still come together in the rain. The second verse continues the pattern of the first, with the singer asking questions about the other person and sharing her feelings of missing them.

Heartbreaking, woke up one day and it's 20+ years later... I still see and hear the people that were close to me in the 90's...
