Standing In The Rain
Jamie Scott & The Town Lyrics

While you're talking to me
As we converse, communicate with me.

With blood on your hands
Your hands are stained by blood, which suggests wrongdoing or violence.

You're tired of being a stranger
You feel alienated and disconnected from others.

Tied up in his plans
Bound by someone else's agenda or expectations.

You cry forever
You are perpetually sad or grieving.

And all you wanna know
Your curiosity centers around a specific question.

Is how you ever got here
You are uncertain about how you arrived at this point in your life.

Why he ain't loving you
You are questioning why someone doesn't reciprocate your love.

Hope you just don't stop praying
I hope you continue to have faith and communicate with a higher power.

When the water does fall
During moments of hardship or unexpected circumstances.

'Cause standing in the rain
Being in the midst of difficult circumstances or negative emotions.

Ain't gonna leave you dry
It won't offer a quick solution or easy resolution.

People say your love pure, one of a kind
Others view your love as unique and positive.

We all fall sometimes
Everyone experiences setbacks or challenges.

Get burned sometimes
You might experience painful or damaging memories or events.

Get cut wide open
You might feel emotionally vulnerable and exposed.

Thought you'd learn by now
You might have hoped to gain wisdom or understanding from past experiences.

So why you wanna do this?
Why do you continue to engage or pursue something that might be difficult or risky?

Why you wanna fall?
Why do you willingly subject yourself to pain, vulnerability, or the unknown?

Why you keep pretending?
Why do you feel the need to put up a facade or hide your true feelings or intentions?

To make sense of it all
To find meaning or reason within challenging or confusing circumstances.

So take the chains off your world
Free yourself from external constraints, limitations, or expectations.

'Cause they ain't gonna do you well
Those chains or restraints won't lead to positive outcomes or personal growth.

Take the lock from your heart
Open yourself up emotionally or personally to new experiences or people.

Open it, 'cause it ain't hard
It's not difficult or risky to be vulnerable or open-hearted.

Oh woman just don't stop praying
Addressed to a female character, urging her to maintain faith and hope.

Stand up and feel the light
Take a positive, proactive approach to life and embrace opportunities for growth or change.

Don't you wanna see
Expressing hope or encouragement for a character's desire to experience personal growth or self-awareness.

All that you've got inside
Encourages looking inward and acknowledging one's inner strength, emotions, or capabilities.

Oh woman, 'cause your love pure, one of a kind
Reinforcing the idea that the character's love is precious and valuable.

See, your love is one a kind
Repeating the message that the character's love is unique or special.

Dry..
Final musical flourish or coda to conclude the song.
