Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time for change
It's time to get things re-arranged, oh yeah
The summer heat has been getting to me
And last summer's love is gone, gone, gone
I've been saving my love for a rainy day
And it's really coming down today
Then out of the blue you came
You shine a little light on a cloudy day
Baby, you could make a broken heart go away
I'm not gonna lie, this feeling inside
I can't explain
Oh oh, I'm gonna blame it on the summer rain
Yeah, yeah
I'm gonna blame it on the summer rain
I'm blind to some things
Yeah, blind as love
But I can see us living it up, oh yeah
When you're next to me
The butterflies are flying
I know everything is fine, fine, fine
I've been saving my love for a rainy day, oh yeah
And now I'm looking for a twist of fate
Then out of the blue you came
You shine a little light on a cloudy day
Baby, you could make a broken heart go away
I'm not gonna lie, this feeling inside
I can't explain
Oh oh, I'm gonna blame it on the summer rain
I wanna live this day forever
Yeah, that will be alright
I'm starting to love this stormy weather
You are the sunlight (yeah, baby)
So come and shine on me
Shine on me
'Cause out of the blue you came
You shine a little light on a cloudy day
Baby, you could make a broken heart go away
I'm not gonna lie, this feeling inside
I can't explain, yeah
(I'm gonna blame it on the summer rain)
Then out of the blue you came
You shine a little light on a cloudy day
Baby, you could make a broken heart go away
I'm not gonna lie, this feeling inside
I can't explain
Yeah, baby
I'm gonna blame it on the summer rain
Blame it on summer rain
Yeah, oh oh oh
Blaming it on summer rain
The summer rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
