And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And convinced yourself
That it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore
And no, oh
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh
I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
And when it rains, you always find an escape
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And you'll sleep till May
You'll say that you don't wanna see the sun anymore
And no, oh
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh
I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
(Explain your side, take my side)
Take these chances to turn it around
Let's take these chances we'll make it somehow
And take these chances and turn it around
Just turn it around
No
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh
I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
You can take your time, take my time
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And convinced yourself
That it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore
And no, oh
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh
I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
And when it rains, you always find an escape
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And you'll sleep till May
You'll say that you don't wanna see the sun anymore
And no, oh
How could you do it?
Oh, I
I never saw it coming
No, oh

Just long enough to explain?" this means maybe that they never saw it coming when that person did suicide and they are wondering why him/she didnt explain why they did it "Take these chances to turn it around
Let's take these chances we'll make it somehow
And take these chances and turn it around
Just turn it around". this part probably means that she is telling him/she to take a chance and not to do it and also saying that they'll find a way to make it better. I don't know if its the real meaning but I think that is what it basically means
I remember how a month before she passed, she told me she wanted to die. I thought she was kidding and gave her a hug. I never knew she was serious.
I know it's sad, I really needed to get it out of my chest.
I love Paramore. Period.
Means when you're hurt in this way, (rain meaning tears) it impacts every aspect of your life.
"just say it again and mean it, you don't miss a thing"
keep convincing yourself you don't miss someone and eventually it'll be true.
"you made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole and convinced yourself that it's nOt the reason you don't see the sun anymore"
You put yourself in this situation but pretend your actions had no effect.
"how could you do it? I never saw it coming"
She's no longer talking about herself, but to the one who hurt her.
"I need an ending, so why can't you stay just long enough to explain?"
She's feeling like someone left before the relationship was over.
and basically, the song is her being angry at herself and whoever left. She's not just mad that he hurt her, she doesn't like the way she handled it.
Such power in that line. Hayley is obviously singing from a depressed point of view as saying the rain touches everything means that everything in her life is dreary since whatever bad thing happened.
I think it's about someone committing suicide, mainly because of the line "You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole" and that sounds like someone is in a grave now and it was by their choice.
Either way, I adore this song.
(sorry if my English sucks, I'm dutch xD)
And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
I think this part is about a group of friends(or maybe a band??) One of them isn't feeling very well but he(or she xD) doesn't talk about it, he's like: "Ohh no nothing's wrong blablabla". But the friends just know that there is... Because she says: "Just say it again and mean it. We don't miss a thing"...
You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole
(Blackest hole)
And convinced yourself that it's not the reason
You don't see the sun anymore
"You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole" The guy accepted that he's depressed 'cause he just settles with the idea... He made himself a bed inside his depression. And he doesn't even see it 'cause he convinced himself that it's not the reason he doesn't see the sun anymore. I mean: when you don't want to get out of your depression, you never will...
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
And oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
She's singing to the guy about how she needs an explanation, but he just doesn't talk about things. And now he did something very bad to end his misery(I don't think it's suicide though...)
And when it rains
Well, you always find an escape
Just running away from all of the ones who love you
From everything
The guy never talks about his feelings. When it rains(when there is trouble) he just runs away from it, away from his friends(the ones who love you)
You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole
(Blackest hole)
And you'll sleep till May
And you'll say that you don't wanna see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
And oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
Take your time
Take my time
She says that she can wait till he's ready to tell her everything
Take these chances to turn it around
(Take your time)
Just take these chances
We'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around
(Take my...)
Just turn it around
She's offering help to get out of the mess he made, she really wants to help him but he has to accept her help. She trying to persuade him...
And oh, how could you do it?
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh, I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need an ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
You can take your time
Take my time
