McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
Because...
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, imma stick it out till the end
Now that it's rainin' more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh
These fancy things
Will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, imma stick it out till the end
Now that it's rainin' more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh
You can run into my arms
That's okay don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
Go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, imma stick it out till the end
Now that it's rainin' more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella
Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh
It's raining raining
Ooh baby it's raining raining
Come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining raining
Ooh baby it's raining raining
Come here to me
Come here to me

You had my heart
You controlled my emotions and feelings
And we'll never be worlds apart
We will always be close, even if physically apart
Maybe in magazines
Our relationship may look perfect on the surface, like in glossy magazines
But you'll still be my star
You'll always be the most important person to me
Baby 'cause in the dark
When times are tough or scary, I'll still be by your side
You can't see shiny cars
Material possessions don't matter in hard times

Melodic repetition of 'umbrella'
These fancy things
Material possessions, which are trivial compared to our love
Will never come in between
Nothing will disrupt our relationship
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
You're an integral part of me, and our love will last forever
When the war has took its part
When we've been through tough times
When the world has dealt its cards
When life throws us challenges
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
We'll work together to heal any emotional wounds
You can run into my arms
You can come to me for comfort
That's okay don't be alarmed
Don't worry about how you look, just come to me
There's no distance in between our love
Our love transcends physical distance or barriers
Go on and let the rain pour
Don't be afraid to let your emotions out
I'll be all you need and more
I'm here to provide all the support and love you need
It's raining raining
Literal description of the weather
Ooh baby it's raining raining
Playful repetition of 'raining'
Come here to me
Come to me for comfort
