I Wish It Would Rain
Little Caesar Lyrics

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The singer is experiencing a difficult time and doesn't want to see the world happy and bright when they are feeling gloomy.

The girl has found another and gone away.
The singer's love interest has left them for someone else, leaving them feeling alone and abandoned.

With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
The singer feels like their future has been taken away with the departure of their love interest, resulting in a bleak outlook on life.

So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
The artist is isolating themselves from the world as they cope with the pain they feel.

I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,
The artist wants rain to fall as a way of hiding their tears and emotions from the world.

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
The singer desires to be out in the open, but their sadness is preventing them from doing so.

But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
The singer feels societal pressure to suppress their emotions and not show vulnerability.

Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
The artist acknowledges that crying is a natural and healthy way of coping with their pain.

Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
The artist emphasizes the intensity of their emotional pain.

Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.
The artist believes that the rain is the only way to express the magnitude of their feelings, as words fall short.

Day in day out my tear-stained face
The singer's face is consistently marked by the tears they have shed.

Pressed against the window pain,
The artist is often near windows, symbolizing their desire to see the outside world but being unable to because of their sadness.

My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
The singer is constantly looking up at the skies, hoping for the rain to come and hide their tears.

Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
Rain falling from the sky can provide a way for the singer to conceal their own tears from others.

And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
The singer can hide their pain from the world if they find a way to conceal their tears.

Crying when I go outside.
The artist is ashamed of the thought of crying in public, and so they hold their feelings in until they are alone.

To the world outside my tears,
The artist doesn't want to show their pain and vulnerability to others.

I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
The singer's desire for the rain is fueled by their refusal to reveal their emotional pain to the world.

Let it rain, let it rain.
The singer pleads for the rain to fall.

I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
The artist sees rain as a means of hiding their pain from the world.

Oh, let it rain.
The artist's plea for the rain to fall continues.

I'm a man and I got my pride
The artist is aware of societal expectations of men and their desire to maintain their dignity and pride in spite of their pain.

Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.
The singer will continue to isolate themselves until the rain comes and provides them with a way of concealing their tears and pain.
