Summer Rain
Mathew Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the rooftop thinkin' it's about to pour
People run for shelter, tryin' to get out that storm
But I got you with me, the sun behind me
So what are we leavin' for? Let's stay. Let's get carried away
Your eyes are beggin' me to touch you there
Could be a thousand people watchin' but we don't care
[Chorus]
But look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers' lane? Right up on this rooftop, let's make love in the summer rain
[Verse 2]
Nothin' better than givin' this all to you
And the weather's only adding to the mood
See the wind's blowin', fire's growin', both of us soakin' wet
But let's stay, yeah. Let's get carried away
Your eyes are beggin' me to touch you there
Could be a thousand people watchin' but we don't care
[Chorus]
But look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers' lane? Right up on this rooftop, let's make love in the summer rain
There's no place that I'd rather make love to you
Right here on this roof, yeah
Look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers' lane? Right up on this rooftop, let's make love in the summer rain
Look at you tonight, so beautiful under these neon lights, yeah
Who needs lovers' lane? Right up on this rooftop, let's make love in the summer rain
The song "Summer Rain" by Mathew Morrison is a romantic ballad about two lovers enjoying each other's company on a rooftop during a summer storm. The lyrics describe the couple standing in the rain, sheltered by the sun behind them and each other's love. They are not concerned about the eyes of others and instead focus on the beauty of the moment. The chorus encourages the lover to look at the partner under the neon lights and embrace each other passionately despite the downpour. The song's theme is about seizing the moment, surrendering to love and the passion it brings, and accepting the challenges that come with it.
The rain in the song is not just an ordinary rain, but a "summer rain," which can be metaphorical of how love can bring forth some challenges, but it can also bring beauty and excitement to the relationship. The neon lights mentioned in the lyrics can be interpreted as the excitement and thrill of the situation, adding to the overall mood of the song. The rooftop mentioned in the lyrics represents a place of escape, away from the noise of the world, where the couple can focus solely on each other's love.
Overall, "Summer Rain" is a romantic song that celebrates the passion and excitement of love that can bloom in any situation. Mathew Morrison's smooth vocals and the catchy melody add to the song's charm, making it a perfect addition to anyone's playlist.
