## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

You say

You've been through this before

You gave away all your secrets

To someone who up and left you in pieces

I know the feeling, believe me

I know the prices you've gotta pay

I'm sacrificing my freedom

And all just to get somebody to see me

Nobody said it was easy

**[Pre-chorus]**

My heart's been broken and broken and broken and broken

But I keep, keep on hopin' and hopin' and hopin' and hopin'

That if it keeps on breakin' and breakin' and breakin' and breakin'

Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you

**[Chorus]**

Hey!

I know we've both been afraid

But we can't run from the wind and the thunder

When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain

Hey!

I know we got what it takes

Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder

When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain

We're dancing under the rain

**[Verse 2]**

Breathe deep, let it wash over you

We're slowly becoming lovers

I promise you we won't be like the others

We won't go running for cover

**[Pre-chorus]**

My heart is broken and broken and broken and broken

But I keep, keep on hopin' and hopin' and hopin' and hopin'

That if it keeps on breakin' and breakin' and breakin' and breakin'

Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you

**[Chorus]**

Hey!

I know we've both been afraid

But we can't run from the wind and the thunder

When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain

Hey!

I know we got what it takes

Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder

When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain

We're dancing under the rain

**[Bridge]**

Broken and broken and broken and broken

(We're dancing under the rain)

But I keep, keep on hopin' and hopin' and hopin' and hopin'

(Dancing under the rain)

That if it keeps on breakin' and breakin' and breakin' and breakin'

Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you

(Ohhh)

**[Chorus]**

Hey!

I know we've both been afraid

But we can't run from the wind and the thunder

When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain

Hey!

(Broken and broken and broken and broken)

I know we got what it takes

(But I keep, keep on hopin' and hopin' and hopin' and hopin')

Ain't gonna run from the wind and the thunder

(That if it keeps on breakin' and breakin' and breakin' and breakin')

When we're dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain

(Then one day it'll open and open and open and open and open for you)

We're dancing under the rain

## Music video

The music video for "RAIN" was released on September 10, 2019. It was directed by James Larese.

The video features Platt pulling up to a gas station, whereupon stopping, he receives a text from his partner. He hesitates to reply, and when he goes to, his phone dies. He reflects, before exiting the car, banging on the gas pump and nozzles. He begins to walk away from the car, which begins to turn into dancing. Coming to the realization that he needs to be honest to his partner, he heads towards a phone box, only to find that it's not working. He heads into the gas station and dances, before jumping up on to the counter to continue. Realizing that it's begun to rain outside, Platt heads outside, feeling release as the rain begins to soak him, continuing his dance with catharsis.
