Standing In The Rain
Hometown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With blood on your hands
You're tired of being a stranger
Tied up in his plans
You cry forever
And all you wanna know
Is how you ever got here
Why he ain't loving you
Hope you just don't stop praying
When the water does fall
'Cause standing in the rain
Ain't gonna leave you dry
People say your love pure, one of a kind
Standing in the rain
Ain't gonna leave you dry
People say no
We all fall sometimes
Get burned sometimes
Get cut wide open
Thought you'd learn by now
So why you wanna do this?
Why you wanna fall?
Why you keep pretending?
To make sense of it all
Hope you just don't stop praying
When the water does fall
Standing in the rain
Ain't gonna leave you dry
So stand up and feel the light
Don't you wanna see
All that you've got inside
Your love is pure, one of a kind
Standing in the rain
Ain't gonna leave you dry
So take the chains off your world
'Cause they ain't gonna do you well
Take the lock from your heart
Open it, 'cause it ain't hard
It ain't hard
Oh woman just don't stop praying
When the water does fall
'Cause standing in the rain
Ain't gonna leave you dry
Stand up and feel the light
Don't you wanna see
All that you've got inside
Oh woman, 'cause your love pure, one of a kind
Standing in the rain
Ain't gonna leave you dry
The lyrics to Hometown's song "Standing In the Rain" tell a story of a person who is struggling to understand why their significant other doesn’t love them back. The person is feeling lost and tied up in the plans of their partner, who seems like a stranger to them now. They cry and question how they ended up in this situation. The chorus of the song states that standing in the rain, metaphorically representing the hardships and difficulties in life, will not leave the person feeling dry or fulfilled. However, the song offers a message of hope, encouraging the person to keep praying and to take the chains off of their world and the locks off of their heart. Finally, the lyrics suggest that the person should stand up and feel the light, acknowledging that their love is pure, one of a kind, and worth sharing with the world.

While you're talking to me
During our conversation
With blood on your hands
Despite having done some wrong
You're tired of being a stranger
You don't feel like you belong
Tied up in his plans
Trapped in someone else's life goals
You cry forever
You are constantly upset
And all you wanna know
Your biggest question is
Is how you ever got here
How did you end up in this situation?
Why he ain't loving you
Why is the person you love not reciprocating?
Hope you just don't stop praying
Don't lose hope and keep praying
When the water does fall
Even when things get worse
'Cause standing in the rain
Enduring through tough times
Ain't gonna leave you dry
Won't leave you hopeless
People say your love pure, one of a kind
Others recognize your love as unique and special
We all fall sometimes
Everyone faces obstacles
Get burned sometimes
Experience heartache
Get cut wide open
Feel pain and vulnerability
Thought you'd learn by now
You believed you'd become better at handling difficulties
So why you wanna do this?
Why put yourself through more trouble?
Why you wanna fall?
Why allow yourself to fail?
Why you keep pretending?
Why do you hide your emotions?
To make sense of it all
To try to find meaning in what's happening
So stand up and feel the light
Rise up and embrace positivity
Don't you wanna see
Do you not want to discover
All that you've got inside
The potential you possess
So take the chains off your world
Liberate yourself from your burdens
'Cause they ain't gonna do you well
As they're not helping you improve
Take the lock from your heart
Open yourself up emotionally
Open it, 'cause it ain't hard
It won't be difficult
Oh woman just don't stop praying
Keep your faith strong
Stand up and feel the light
Embrace positivity and optimism
Oh woman, 'cause your love pure, one of a kind
Your love is special and precious
