Every Time It Rains
Lacy Cavalier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel it coming on like dark clouds rolling in
Something in the air's got chills on my skin
When it does, it pours down and floods I want you' pain
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains
Little drops of 'miss you' fill up my brown eyes
Thunder calls my name, I take it on outside so I can't tell if it's me or the sky crying on my face
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains
There ain't much I can do when my lonely lets loose
I just wait for the weather to change
Like a bone when it breaks,
That shit it aches
Just like this old heart thing
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains

Used to be a good thing when we were a good thing
We'd be stuck inside, it was my excuse to stay
Wrapped up in your arms, finding love to make
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains

There ain't much I can do when my lonely lets loose
I just wait for the weather to change
Like a bone when it breaks,
That shit it aches
Just like this old heart thing
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains

Rain, rain, go away
I ain't trying to cry today
Rain, rain, go away

There ain't much I can do when my lonely lets loose
I just wait for the weather to change
Like a bone when it breaks
That shit it aches
Just like this old heart thing
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains




Every time it rains
Every time it rai-ai-ai-ains

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of Lacy Cavalier's song "Every Time It Rains," the singer talks about the feeling that comes over her when dark clouds start appearing in the sky. She feels something in the air that makes the hair on her skin stand up. The metaphorical darkness brings downpour, flooding her with painful memories and emotions. The rain becomes a symbol of sadness, and every time it rains, the pain of missing someone comes pouring down on her like raindrops. Thunder becomes a calling card, one that names her as a participant in the storm. It's unclear if her tears and the raindrops are distinguishable.


The chorus is the most significant part of the song. Even though the singer is aware that there is nothing she can do about the pain that she feels when she is lonely, she waits for the weather to change. She compares the pain she experiences to a bone-breaking, a pain that aches throughout her whole body. It's like an old wound that won't heal or scars that won't fade. The rain becomes a metaphor for separation, a sign of how things used to be better, but now they're not. However, in the past, the rain was a good thing, and it provided an excuse for the singer to stay inside and be wrapped up in the love she shared with someone.


Overall, "Every Time It Rains" is about the way that rain often symbolizes sadness, loneliness, and heartache. The weather, like an old wound, triggers the emotions inside the singer every time it rains. It's a song that speaks to the way many people feel, the way that rain often feels like a symbol of the sad parts of life.
