Everyone's wearing jackets but me.
Everyone's holding parasols, whistling,
Everyone's wearing jackets but me,
I'm feeling melancholy.
Melancholy.

Everyone's got a bicycle but me.
Cruising down the avenue, like feathers on the sea.
Everyone's got a bicycle but me.
It's so unsettling.
Unsettling.

But what is there to do,
when you know that you've been a fool,
By the rainiest of summer?
Rainiest day of summer.

Just when you decide,
You wanna take a little step outside,
You get plummeted by the downpour,
On the rainiest day of summer.

Everyone's got the message but me.
Rubber boots, and high tops, and skirts below the knee.
Everyone's got the message but me.
So why am I still laughing?
Why am I still laughing?

'Cause it seems I've found the evidence,
That the weatherman lied.
But maybe there's a side of us,
That wants to be denied.

(Rainiest day, rainiest day, rainiest day of summer)

But what is there to do,
when you know that you've been a fool
By the rainiest of summer?
Rainiest day of summer.

Just when you decide,
You wanna take a little step outside,
You get plummeted by the downpour,
On the rainiest day of summer.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
