Summer Rain
Wailing Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remind me of you in so many ways
Standing in corners till the darkest hour
Doing everything possible in my power
To convince you there's reasons why you should stay
Just like four seasons go away
The weather changes, so do I
I'm just not sure you really realise
Waiting for hours but you never came
Dry in summer rain
If I could I would do it all again
Sipping on bourbon trying to ease my pain
For hours in summer rain
If I could I would do it all again
Don't care if you're Jewish girl or if you're Christian
I'm just sangin' this song, hoping you're listenin'
Straight from my heart out my throat,
I mean every word note for note
I could be wrong, I'm only human
But when I saw you broke my heart into a million pieces
And every time we speak the number increases
Waiting for hours but you never came
Dry in summer rain
If I could I would do it all again
Sipping on bourbon trying to ease my pain
For hours in summer rain
If I could I would do it all again
The song "Summer Rain" by Wailing Waters is a heart-wrenching plea to a lost love to come back. The lyrics are filled with imagery of summer days and nights, which remind the singer of their former lover. The singer is doing everything in their power to convince their former love to stay, just like the changing seasons. However, the singer is not sure if their former love realizes how much they are missed. The chorus talks about waiting for hours in the summer rain, which symbolizes the pain and suffering they feel in their heart.
The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's own pain and how they have been trying to cope with it. The singer doesn't care about the differences in religion or any other superficial traits that may separate them from their former love. The singer pours their heart out, hoping that their former love is listening. The singer knows they could be wrong, but the pain of the broken heart is making it hard for them to move on. The number of times they've been hurt by their former love only keeps increasing with every conversation they have.
In conclusion, "Summer Rain" is a poignant song that captures the essence of lost love and the struggle to move on. The imagery of summer days and nights, the changing seasons, and waiting in the rain all come together to create a vivid picture of the singer's pain.

Summer nights and summer days
The memories of you are intertwined with the hot summer days and nights
Remind me of you in so many ways
The sensory experiences of summer trigger my memories of you
Standing in corners till the darkest hour
I'm waiting alone in the shadows, hoping you'll show up and comfort me
Doing everything possible in my power
I'm trying my best to convince you to stay with me
To convince you there's reasons why you should stay
I'm pleading with you to see that there are good reasons for us to be together
Just like four seasons go away
Just as the seasons change and come to an end, so do our relationships
The weather changes, so do I
Just like the changing weather, I'm not the same person I once was
I'm just not sure you really realise
I'm doubtful that you truly understand the impact you have on me
Waiting for hours but you never came
I'm patiently waiting for you, but you're not there for me
Dry in summer rain
Despite the summer rain, my tears still won't come
If I could I would do it all again
I wish I could go back and do things differently
Sipping on bourbon trying to ease my pain
I'm trying to numb the emotional pain with alcohol
For hours in summer rain
I've been stuck in the rain for hours, lost in thought
Don't care if you're Jewish girl or if you're Christian
It doesn't matter to me what religion you are
I'm just sangin' this song, hoping you're listenin'
I'm singing this song with the hope that you're listening and feeling the same emotions I am
Straight from my heart out my throat
These words are coming directly from my heart, and I'm singing them out loud
I mean every word note for note
Every word I'm singing is sincere and genuine
I could be wrong, I'm only human
I'm flawed and I may make mistakes
But when I saw you, you broke my heart into a million pieces
Seeing you again shattered my heart into countless fragments
And every time we speak the number increases
Each time we talk, the pain and heartache grow stronger

I could see this track as a hit single. It's a good start. You are probably better off not to get tied down to the American Idol pop music machine, Tyler. Make music your own way. Keep control and keep growing.

Really like this. I just recently remembered Grady's epic Let's Get in On audition, and looked him up. It's too bad that American Woman didn't go so well--pretty sure he could have gone a ways in the competition.
