Lyric discussion by itsALLprogramMUSIC 

I think "when you're only wet because of the rain" refers t a different sort of wet. I think that makes the line even sadder.

you know what's interesting? I feel this way about my husband sometimes. I made no mistake in marrying him, but sometimes I catch myself in my own lie. The way I try to be something esle for him, so that he'll be more in love with me. Then I realize- he's not exactly perfect himself, so what am I doing?

I think women do this more than men. I know the more I fake it, the weaker we become.

and that's probably the truest thing I've ever written on this site.

I agree, this is about a different kind of wet. She's referring to the entanglement of emotions with our sexuality, and how emotional pain can still ignite passion. This song is such a word for word summary of my last relationship that its scary.
