I Wish
Mayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heavy rain down from the sky
Maybe then you wouldn't see the teardrops in my eyes
Well I wish that it would rain
It would be a great disguise
Maybe then you wouldn't see the teardrops in my eyes
And all of the raindrops that fall down on my face
Erase all the memories of you and your embrace
And I don't want you to see me this way
Well I wish that it would rain
Heavy rain down from the sky
Ooh maybe then I wouldn't see you walking right on by
Well I wish that it would rain
Let it storm just for awhile
Ooh yeah maybe then you wouldn't see this sadness in my smile
Ooh no and all of the raindrops that fall down on my face
Erase all the memories of you and your embrace
I'll long for the moment that I lose this bitter taste
And I don't want you to see me this way
Rain down rain down
Rain down rain down
Rain down rain down on me
Rain down rain down
Rain down rain down
Rain down rain down on me
The lyrics of Mayer's song "I Wish" convey a sense of sadness and longing for a lost love. The opening lines express the desire for heavy rain to fall from the sky as a way to alleviate the tears the singer is shedding due to the heartbreak he is experiencing. The rain, in this sense, would act as a veil or disguise to hide the depth of his emotions from the person who caused them.
The chorus repeats the desire for rain, only this time it is to obscure the pain and sadness that the singer feels as he watches his former lover walk by. The rain would serve as a temporary distraction to his feelings, even if it is just for a little while. The last lines of the chorus reinforce this idea as the singer wishes that the sadness in his smile will go unnoticed.
The verses continue the metaphor of rain as a cleansing and healing force. The raindrops that would fall on his face would erase the memories of the past relationship and his former lover's embrace. It would be a moment when he could finally let go of the bitterness that he currently feels, and he longs for the taste of that release. The repetition of the phrase "Rain down on me" serves as a plea for healing and closure.
