Blame It On The Rain
He Is We Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess we can blame it on the rain.
My pain is knowing I can't have you.
I can't have you.
Tell me.
Does she look at you the way I do?
Try to understand the words you say
And the way you move?
When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?
Tell me, am I crazy?
Am I crazy?
I catch my breath.
The one you took the moment you entered the room.
My heart, it breaks at the thought
Of her holding you.
Does she look at you the way I do?
Try to understand the words you say
And the way you move?
Does she get the same big rush
When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?
Tell me, am I crazy?
Or is this more than a crush?
Maybe I'm alone in this,
But I find peace in solitude
Knowing if I had but just one kiss
This whole room would be glowing.
We'd be glowing.
We'd be glowing.
Does she look at you the way I do?
Try to understand the words you say
And the way you move?
Does she get the same big rush
When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?
Tell me, am I crazy?
Or is this more than a crush?
Does she look at you the way I do?
Try to understand the words you say
And the way you move?
Does she get the same big rush
When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?
Tell me, am I crazy?
Or is this more than a crush?
The lyrics of He Is We's "Blame It on the Rain" express the heartbreak and longing of unrequited love. The singer is caught up in their feelings for someone who is with someone else, and they can't help but ask themselves if their feelings are crazy or if there's something more there. The chorus repeats the question, "Does she look at you the way I do?" as the singer wonders if their love interest's partner feels the same way they do.
The first verse speaks to the sense of confusion and chaos that comes with unrequited love. The singer feels caught in a mess that they can't seem to escape. They blame their pain on the rain, perhaps to externalize their emotions and try to make sense of them. However, it becomes clear that the real cause of their pain is the fact that they can't have the person they want. The second verse continues to explore this idea, as the singer describes how they catch their breath and feel heartbroken at the thought of their love interest with someone else. They find some solace in the idea that they could have a chance if they could just share a kiss, but they also acknowledge that this might just be a fantasy.
Overall, "Blame It on the Rain" is a poignant exploration of the emotions that come with unrequited love. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever felt heartbroken or stuck in a situation where they can't be with the person they want. The song's gentle melody and emotive vocals amplify the emotion in the lyrics, making it a powerful and moving piece of music.
