I don't mind, you're someone that ain't mine
But someone that I'll get
And you don't know how hard I've tried
To convince myself that I could easily forget
But you let this feeling here inside me
One that never fails to find me

On a rainy Monday
I feel it inside me
Like the days of summer
On a rainy Monday
I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

I won't lie, I still can say that I
Admit we went too far
And you won't see me change my mind
But I really wish that I
Could forget the way you are

On a rainy Monday
I feel it inside me
Like the days of summer
On a rainy Monday
I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

I can see that you're not beside me
But I still feel you shine inside of me

[Repeat: x2]
On a rainy Monday
I feel it inside me
Like the days of summer
On a rainy Monday
I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

    General Comment:So I was just recently introduced to this song by a "friend", and haven't been able to stop listening to it as of lately. It seems that it hits a little too close to home for me lately...I have read all of the other interpretations, and some of them seem pretty close but just a little off...as for my interpretation of the lyrics...here goes, and please be gentle ;-)

    "I don't mind
    You're someone that ain't mine
    But someone that I'll get"

    This song is Basically about this guy who likes this girl (or vice versa, etc.) They are or have been friends for a long time...but aren't together eventhough there are feelings from the singer's end and he wants to make it more.

    "And you don't know how
    Hard I've tried
    To convince myself that I
    Can easily forget"

    This line is basically him talking to himself about how much he has tried to forget the fact that he has developed REAL feelings for her, because she is a friend and may not know how to approach the situation.

    "But you left this feeling
    Here inside me
    One that never fails to find me..."

    This verse is basically him saying that she has made an Real impression on him, that he feels from time to time...like having an uncontrollable smile or warm and fuzzy feeling whenever a certain thought or memory of her pops into his head.

    "On a rainy Monday
    ...a feeling inside me
    Like the days of summer"

    This is where the warm and fuzzy feeling really comes into play because of the referrence to the days of summer. the rainy monday could just be in ref to a bad day, or a day when he is missing her or hasn't seen her.

    "On a rainy Monday
    ..I feel it inside me
    In the hopes of one day"

    This is where he acknowledges the True feelings he has for her, and he solidifies his hopes of being able to tell her just how much he really likes her and the possibility of their relationship evolving into something more.

    "I won't lie
    I still can't say that I
    Admit we went too far"

    With this line, there is a sign that something may have actually happened between them...a possible flirtation between the two, or an actual attempt by him to finally tell her...but she may have backed off because of not being sure how he felt...either way...crossing the "friend" line and beginning the journey as something more.

    "And you won't see me change my mind
    But I really wish that I
    Could forget the way you are"

    Here he is just stating that he is not going to change his mind about how he feels about her, almost trying to figure out a way to convince her that he is genuine in his feelings for her. Because he really can't forget the person that she is...the person he is in Love with. Even if she has been a friend of his for a long time, or even if she is scared.

    "But you left this feeling here inside me
    The battle in my mind still fights me"

    Because of the way he feels for her, he still battles with himself as to whether he should just come out and tell her, or just keep her as a friend...if he can't have her as a girlfriend.

    "I can see that you're not beside me
    But I still feel you shine inside of me "

    Either way, he still has feelings for her even if she isn't around all the time, and the mark she has made on him will always be there with him...shining in his heart and mind.

    Like I said, simply my interpretation...and a little too close to home. Thanks for reading! and Remember... Love Love Love! ;-)

    General Comment:This is practically a straight forward song. Talks about a person (male or female) that has really deep feelings for someone they truly care about. Basically, but if you break the song down a bit, the song is more deeper than what people really think.

    I don't mind
    You're someone that ain't mine
    But someone that I'll get
    And you don't know how hard I've tried
    To convince myself that I
    Can easily forget

    The person singing is holding onto hope that one day that their love interest will care about that them the same way. The part where they say "can easily forget" is basically thinking that person singing thinks that their love interest and them are together, but really they are not. Just a crush or a best friend with 'benefits'. Its the mind set of wanting that person.

    But you left this feeling
    Here inside me
    One that never fails to find me ...

    There is this uplifting feeling that the love interest gives to the singer, which they can't describe how amazing this feeling is. And whenever the singer is with the love interest, that feeling will be there.

    On a rainy Monday
    ... a feeling inside me
    Like the days of summer all collide

    On a rainy Monday
    ... I feel it inside me
    In the hopes of one day all collide

    Has people ever wonder why its called a rainy monday? Most of all, people HATE mondays. When it rains in mondays, the day just becomes worse. Basically when he is talking about his rainy monday, a bad day, he has this feeling of his love that will never fade. A fulfilling emotion that will come back whenever the day is bad or good. You can tell that he changes "feeling" to "feel it inside me" is that right now he feels that high divine emotion.

    I won't lie
    I still can't say that I
    Admit we went too far
    And you won't see me change my mind
    But I really wish that I
    Could forget the way you are

    This part, this VERY rocky part in his relationship with his love interest made the singer think. Whatever the they did, the singer still hangs onto their hope to be with their love interest. Even though the singer didn't like the things that made the singer hurt as in why "I could forget the way you are" But it won't change their mind because not matter what happens, that feeling is still there.

    But you left this feeling here inside me
    The battle in my mind still fights me

    A bit self explanatory, a bit not. In the first line, its obvious that the singer still has feelings for that person, but the bad thoughts roams in their head whether to stay or go. It's a Rainy Monday, as days go by there is trouble, but its up to the person to decide to make it a bad day or a good day. The singer is struggling of whatever circumstance that his love interest is having; a fight they had, a love triangle, etc.

    I can see that you're not beside me
    But I still feel you shine inside of me

    Far away from his love partner, the feeling of love is still with them no matter what. A contradiction of the song title and the actual lyrics. Like how all a lot of events lead up to a Rainy Monday? or that a Rainy monday is that a bad day, but not as bad as it seems?

    If you can listen really carefully at the middle end of the song, You can hear the singer say "I won't let you get away." Meaning that whatever happens between them, whether the love interest goes to someone else or it may not work, the singer will continue to chase that person because they still have strong feelings for that person.

    General Comment:oh and i forgot to add this...
    when your in a situation like this you try soooo hard to forget and move on but you cant bring yourself to because you know how much this person means to you and how much they have changed you....it just really makes me think if this boy that i realllly liked for a long time but nothing happened and then something was about to happen and i kinda screwed it up.....
    but this song just further proves my theory of how you never truly stop having feelings for someone and how old flames/crushes always work their way back into your life in some way...

    General Comment:being in a situation that completely changed my view on any other guy, i think this song is about someone who wants another person so badly, but cant have them for some reason. that person changes them...and has become a huge part of their self/life....

    General Comment:the same happened to me a few days ago wreckingball maniac.
    This song depicts the struggle within when you can't be with the one you love, even though you want to. A "feeling" is left inside you that does not easily go away. You tell yourself that the best thing is to stay away from that person, and you say "I really wish that I could forget the way you are" and "you don't know how hard I've tried to convince myself that I can easily forget". Yet at the same time, there is a part of you that thinks that you can get her back somehow (hence the "You're someone that ain't mine, but someone that I'll get). You can't quite move on, you don't want to forget her and the memories you shared together, and to make matters worse you think you can get her back...
    All of it seams destined to end bad, but there is always hope...

    General Comment:this reminds me of a friend of mine... i saw him tonight, actually. i love him but well, i guess you can say i'm not his type lol. every lyric i can say i've said about him at one point, more or less. so to me, the song is about someone you really care about, love, whatever... but it can't happen or it hasn't happened... but you hold on to hope that someday it will... the hope, symbolized by the upbeat tempo and music... the lyrics by themselves are so sad. i love this song.
