Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not sure if that's what I should do
It hurts so bad
I'm wanting you but can't go back
Trying to find, to find
That all elusive piece of mind
Stuck here somehow
Shrouded beneath my fear
Cause I'm walkin down this road alone
And figured all I'm thinking bout is you, is you my love
And my head is in a cloud of rain
And the world it seems so far away and I'm just waiting for
The droplets, droplets
You left a mark
I wear it proudly on my chest
Above my heart above my heart
To remind me that I feel the best
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
To me everything is effortless
You know its true
My eyes are painted with regret and I don't need it
Cause I'm walkin down this road alone
And figured all I'm thinking bout is you, is you my love
And my head is in a cloud of rain
And the world it seems so far away
And I'm just waiting to fall and sink into your tears
You are like the raindrops, the raindrops falling down on me
You left a mark (you left a mark)
She left a mark (he left)
She left (he left)
And I don't (I don't)
Need it. (Need it)
The lyrics of "Droplets" by Colbie Caillat featuring Jason Reeves are powerful and emotional. The song portrays a woman who is contemplating leaving her lover but is struggling with her decision. She admits that she loves him but cannot go back to him for some reason that is not entirely clear. The lyrics suggest that she is trying to find peace of mind, but she is still stuck in her fear. She ultimately decides to walk down the road alone, but she is unable to stop thinking about her love. She describes the feeling as being in a cloud of rain, and she is waiting for the droplets to fall.
The song's second verse shifts the focus to the love that she has lost. The mark that he has left on her heart is a reminder of how effortlessly everything fell into place when they were together. Although she knows that she doesn't need him, she can't help feeling regretful about what they had. The chorus repeats the same idea that she can't stop thinking about her love, even though she is walking down this road alone. In the last few lines, she acknowledges that her love is like raindrops, falling down on her.
Overall, "Droplets" is a beautiful song that captures the complexities of love and relationships. It shows how difficult it can be to let someone go, even when you know it's the right thing to do. The lyrics are deeply personal, and the raw emotions expressed in the song make it a relatable piece for anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak.

I’ve probably listened to this version 1000 times. Funny how music can take you back to different times in your life.
@gidoun
same here, reminiscing when first heard this
@kims4333
I remember watching this video the first week it was posted here. I come back and watch/listen to this song every few months. It’s hard to believe 16 years later it still feels like hearing it for the first time. One of my all time favorite songs.
@laurenr3364
Me as well!
@jaredaiono2010
this raw version is still the best in my opinion...
@michellebourque1975
I agree. I wish this was the one they recorded acoustically instead of the album version.
@jasonreeves1772

@Cmb214
came here to comment this! love this version the best - it's so stripped down + real. That raw-ness of the acoustic really makes you feel the lyrics in that soul-pouring, heartfelt kind of way :)
@tomboycutie55
Agreed! Even after 16 years!
@isabellevidal4942
