| To me, this song details a previous relationship that didn't work out, but is also talking about a relationship that is just starting. Even though he wants this new relationship to work out, it looks as though he's still going to end up giving too much to his new significant other. "show me where the sun comes through the sky" and then i'll show you all of these other wonderful things, but he still isn't getting what he needs . . . | |

| I think this song is explaining how one begins to feel after having suffered many painful heartbreaks. whether it was from multiple people or just one person. I think its showing what a person becomes after having been used over and over by a person or people. "I'm weak when you miss me, when you roll me on your tongue" meaning that when you are so consumed by someone you will let them walk all over you when they need to. "you whisper me your best moves, and i almost believe you" explains that through the lies this person is telling you, you are so compelled to believe them that you let yourself, but deep down you still know they are misleading you.. "i'm covered by lovers, who recite lines convinced their bodies are gonna save mine but you don't know me at all.." I think this verse explains that this person who is hurting you will constantly say whatever it takes for you to do what they want or need, but still never taking you into consideration. The chorus is absolutely amazing, "show me where the sun comes through the sky, i'll show you where the rain gets in and i'll show you hurricanes, and the way the summer fades, underneath the weight of it all" such beautiful lyrics but such a sad undertone. I relate to this because to me the chorus is showing how broken this person is, that underneath "the weight of it all" no sun is shining, that the summer is irrelevant because the rain always comes through to bring you down. the rain being the person who hurts you "i spent days stupid nailed to your floor and i spent nights pushed against you trying to keep warm but you don't know me at all" i think this verse explains the sacrifices one makes for another when that other person needs you, but they arent there for you at all. that no matter how much you give of yourself, this one person will never know you, or even try to . I know this sounds all too depressing but this song explains perfectly a much too long relationship I carried on with someone. The song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Its truly beautiful. | |

| matt is awesome, great guy, amazing live, this song is about a relationship thats not working out, the girl points out the positive things in the relationship ("show me where the sun comes through the sky") and the guy points out whats wrong with the relationship and why they should break it off ("ill show you where the rain gets in")...thats all i feel like typing...it seems like every song matt sings is my life in brief... | |
