Summer Rain
Jake Edwards Lyrics

The sun has never felt further away
Despite it being sunny outside, emotionally I feel distant and disconnected.

It's 30 degrees outside but it's Winter in my brain
Even though it's hot outside, I feel cold and lonely on the inside.

Two months down I can't stand another day
I've been without you for two months and can't bear to be apart from you any longer.

When I pray for something I pray for rain
When I pray for something to change, I ask for rain as a metaphor for the tears and release that come with emotional growth and renewal.

When you're away I got chills when I awoke I swear I was done with dreaming But you were there, you never spoke Did I imagine you leaving?
When you're not with me, I wake up feeling anxious and scared that I might have lost you. Even though I thought I had accepted our breakup, you still haunt me in my dreams and I can't tell if it's real or not.

I think it's warm there in July But here the weather's unpredictable Did you do something to the sky? To make the rain so irresistible
I imagine it's sunny and warm where you are, while here the weather is unsettled and unpredictable. I wonder if you have any control over the weather, or if the rain is just a reminder of the turmoil and uncertainty I feel without you.

When you're away I pray for rain And I hope it'll bring you back home again
When you're not here, I wish for rain as a way to cope with my pain and help me heal. I hope that the rain will also bring you back to me, so we can find a way to fix things and be together again.

And I have something to confess I'm a metaphor for your mess
I want to admit that I have been an emotional mess since our breakup, but I also feel like I am a symbol or representation of the mess that we created together. I am both a source of pain and a reminder of what we had, and I don't know how to move forward without you.
