Lyric Analysis

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless ß Straight away she starts the song describing how her boyfriend is.
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of ß She’s stating how she wants to break away from the relationship but is too weak to do so.

Drop everything now ß She wants to forget all the negative things and that there is something still something between them.
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile ß She doesn’t see the bad in him anymore when he smiles.

My mind forgets to remind me  ß In the back of her mind she knows he’s no good but still he  
                                                         manages to win her over and have control over her emotions.
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be. ß She is describing her change of feeling
                                                                                                      when he is and not around her.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...

Drop everything nowß Repeat of notes from the first chorus.
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show. ß She is still expressing how he has this hold over her and she enjoys it.

Drop everything now, ß Repeat notes of chorus.
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

And the sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
And the sparks fly...
