Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess I'll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it's keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why

When the wind blows, and the sun goes away
And the sand fall, stormy day,
That's what it's for, yeah, that's what it's for, yeah
And as it pours down, the water sprinkles off my jacket slow yeah,
Jacket slow yeah

Well never do I ever do I ever want this to phase me
Well never do I ever do I want this thing to make me
'Cause the fame and the money, and the girls will drive you crazy
And all the "He said, she said", I'm thinking maybe
Just put on my

Guess I'll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it's keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why

But as I look around, I see
What nothing can never, change me uh
Well, all I gotta do is stay me yeah
Let's the rest do the work and I'm sure that it'll be fine, be fine

When the wind blows, and the sun goes away
And the sand fall, stormy day,
That's what it's for, yeah, that's what it's for, yeah
And as it pours down, the water sprinkles off my jacket slow yeah,
Jacket slow yeah

Well never do I ever, do I ever want this to face me

This song gave me such peace when I was 15, I'd completely forgotten about it until now, when I was going back through all of my liked videos because I get nostalgic around midnight. I think it's still one of the most beautiful and heart-filled songs that he's written so far.
