Through the driving rain

I have lost the words

To piece us back together
To tell you how it hurts
Cause lately we've been breaking
All we've built so far
And I'm tired of sitting waiting
Alone in the dark
There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

And pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

Round we go in circles
Does it have to be this hard?
We can stop the fighting
If you let down your guard
There's still a way to make it right
We'll find the strength this time

And pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

So come on, come on, come on
We've been living in the shadows too long
So come on, come on, come on

Just pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?

(Come on, come on, come on...)
Pull back this veil
Turn night into day
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
Pour oil on these flames
Speed up my heart again
Don't you know you're standing in the way of the light?
You're standing in the way of the light
This line of lyrics is a metaphor for a
relationship being compared to a puzzle.
This connotes heartbreak and difficulty
between two peoples feelings
This line connotes the relationship
as if its built like a house of bricks
and its breaking due to a lack of
passion
This connotes her hope and
passion to stay with him
The pull back of the veil connotes
that a marriage would potentially
fix their relationship, when in
reality it wont.
Pouring oil on flames makes a bigger flame, thus
meaning she wants the spark in the relationship
to return. She then states hes standing in the
way of the spark returning.
False hope, no change
These lines of lyrics connote a lack of control she has
in comparison to her partner.
This powerful lyric denotes the fact that
she believes their relationship has taken a
step backward. This could be symbolised
as an antique going dusty in the shadows
of an old house, and compares this to the
relationship. Theyre getting older and
nothing is happening.
The tempo increase of the song at this
point in particular could connote that she
is becoming fed up of waiting and
becoming more impatient and more
emotional.
However towards the end of the song, due
to the change in tempo the narrative
actually denotes a spark returning in the
relationship.
