If It Doesn’t Rain
Sally Shapiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always here, in just this consciousness
It's such a brilliant way to end the day
Staying in your dreams, impossible to reach you
Oh, I can't stay unless you turn your heart away
Did I hear you right? You'll stay all night?
You stayed all night
Weak or strong, but if it doesn't rain tonight
I might as well be standing by your door
Doesn't matter if I miss the train
Late again, but if it doesn't rain tonight
I might just return
It's a roundabout of crevices, that love we missed
And something pulls me back
In every awkward way I try to stay
Ending up in tears
I'd love to make it easy for both of us
Just by being by my side
Did I get that right? You say you might give up your fight
I don't know if I am right or wrong
Weak or strong, but if it doesn't rain tonight
I might as well be standing by your door
Doesn't matter if I miss the train
Late again, but if it doesn't rain tonight
I might just return once more
I don't know if I am right or wrong
Weak or strong, but if it doesn't rain tonight
I might as well be standing by your door
Doesn't matter if I miss the train
Late again, but if it doesn't rain tonight
I might just return once more
The song "If It Doesn't Rain" by Sally Shapiro is a bittersweet love letter to a ghostly presence that is always near but impossible to reach. The opening lines, "I'm like a ghost at your side, I'm never near, Always here in just this consciousness," set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer addresses their unattainable love interest.
The lyrics suggest a longing for connection that is just out of reach. The singer is aware that their feelings might not be reciprocated and that they may be holding on to something that is not meant to be. However, the possibility of a future is still present if certain conditions are met, as the singer sings, "But if it doesn't rain tonight, I might just return once more."
The main theme of the song seems to be lost love and the longing to reconnect with someone who may have disappeared from one's life. Throughout the song, Shapiro's voice has a nostalgic quality that underscores the longing and melancholy present in the lyrics. The final lines, "But if it doesn't rain tonight, I might just return once more," leave the listener with a sense of hope that perhaps a reconnection is possible.
Overall, "If It Doesn't Rain" is a beautiful song that captures the feeling of being haunted by a lost love and the possibility of rekindling that connection.
