And when it rains,
On this side of town it touches, everything.
Just say it again and mean it.
We don't miss a thing.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And convinced yourself that
It's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/paramore/when_it_rains.html ]
And when it rains,
Will you always find an escape?
Just running away,
From all of the ones who love you,
From everything.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And you'll sleep 'til May
And you'll say that you don't want to see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
And oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
Take your time.
Take my time.
Take these chances to turn it around. (take your time)
Take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around. (take my...)
Just turn it around.
Oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh I need an ending.
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
I believe that this song, to me at least, is about a bad break up. I think that she was so blinded by love that she didn't see any signs that things were going wrong. Hence the " how could you do it? I never saw it coming. "
and that the person who broke her heart never gave a reason and decided that instead of confronting the situation they ran away from their problems and continued to hide until they felt that everything was forgotten or at least it was safe to come out of hiding. " and you'll sleep til may and you'll say that you don't want to see the sun anymore. "
the girl however is still waiting for some kind of answer or explanation and won't be able to move on until she get it. " so why can't you stay just long enough to explain? "
the girl being unable to move on until she get an explaining will only have to wait until she does get the answers to the questions she has. The guy being too scared to give the answers will continue taking his time to give an explanation, if he intends on giving one. "take your time, take my time"
That's just my take on the song.

It kinda sounds depressing. I think someone is depressed hence the blake hole n they dont care to go on with life they way they used to or they dont wanna see the sun as she used in the song. Idk cool song though, good lyrics just not quite sure what they mean.

Its like the person is running from his problems instead of facing them and in turn the problems get bigger until he couldnt take it anymore but here were these people who cared so much for that person and are practically begging him to open up cuz they'd always be there for that person

This is about her friend that suicided.
When he suicided it affected everyone, just say it again and mean it, the friend is joking around with suicide but means it more than they realize. They don't miss a thing, he hid away from his troubles and life, convincing himself that's not the reason hes not going out. She never saw his suicide coming even though he joked about it, she wants him to stay long enough to explain why. When bad things happen he always runs away from the people who love him. Hides in his hole. Take your time to explain as long as you need... Take my time. Take these chances to turn it around. We'll make it somehow. ~djm

I think that this song is about hayley's friend telling her that she is going to commit suicide. When she says, 'say it again and mean it'. I think she's asking her friend if she really means it.
In the chorus, she sings, 'how could you do it? ' i think this is referring to after she's been talking to her friend and her friend has actually done it. When she sings 'when it rains, will you find an escape? ' i think she reffers to rain as people asking her why, and people's tears, or even her own.
At the end, when the song kinda gets quieter, i think her friend has literally just commited suicide, and she is sad, and heartbroken.

Its about hayley's close friend who committed suicide. In this song she is trying to imply she felt the same way " we dont miss a thing" but she couldnt believe her friend made the choice of suiciding. She wanted them to get out of the troubles together, but now she has no ending and she doesnt understand why her friend didnt take the time to explain.
