I really thought that I was okay
原以為我會沒事
I really thought that I was just fine
原以為我沒你也能過
But when I woke this time
但這次夢醒時分
There was nothing to take me back to sleep
卻再也無法入眠
To take you off my mind this time
再也無法不顧忌你

And I keep saying over and over and over and over again
我說過了　一次又一次地說
Let it rain, let it rain
讓雨下吧　盡情地下吧
Over and over and over and over again
一而再　再而三
Let it rain, let it rain
讓雨下吧　盡情地下吧
I need to hide within a storm
狂風暴雨中　尋求庇護
So have the lightening come
雷電　盡情地來吧
Bring the winds that scream
咆哮的怒風　盡情地吹吧
Spill the fog all over town
將濃霧布滿小鎮
Hold me in your standstill ground
到時候　請緊緊抱著我
And I will sink down
而我會慢慢下沉
And you’ll be washed away
你會被雨水沖淡
You’ll be washed away
直到你消失在我的世界

Over and over and over and over again
我說過了　一次又一次地說
Let it rain, let it rain
讓雨下吧　盡情地下吧
Over and over and over and over again
一而再　再而三
Let it rain, let it rain
讓雨下吧　盡情地下吧

I really thought that I was okay
原以為我會沒事
I really thought that I was just fine
原以為我沒你也能過
But when I woke this time
但這次夢醒時分
There was nothing to take you off my mind
我卻再也無法不想你

Over and over and over and over again
我說過了　一次又一次地說
Let it rain, let it rain
讓雨下吧　盡情地下吧
Over and over and over and over again
一而再　再而三
Let it rain, let it rain
讓雨下吧　盡情地下吧
I need to hide within a storm
狂風暴雨中　尋求庇護
So have the lightening come
雷電　盡情地來吧
Bring the winds that scream
咆哮的怒風　盡情地吹吧
Spill the fog all over town
將濃霧布滿小鎮
Break through every door
吹毀每一道房門
Strip away the trees
讓巨樹紛紛倒下
Raise the rivers high
捲起驚濤駭浪
Just help me drown
讓我沉淪吧
Hold me in your standstill ground
到時候　請緊緊抱著我
And I will sink down
而我會慢慢下沉
And you’ll be washed away
你會被雨水沖淡
You’ll be washed away
直到你消失在我的世界

Rachael Yamagata 的嗓音有種很療癒的效果，如果你喜歡 Birdy 風格的音樂，那麼大概也會很喜歡 Rachael Yamagata 的歌曲。彷彿有種能夠重拾感情碎片的能力，把原本破碎的東西透過音樂慢慢復原。

這首 Over and Over 說的是對於一段已結束的感情，無法徹底走出去，無法放下，雖然實質上兩人已分別，但感情上卻仍顧忌著另一個人。因此，她祈求一場大雨，一場狂風暴雨將一切都破壞殆盡，不只是外在的房子、樹木，而是連自己和對方都要摧毀。暴風雨來襲時，她說”Hold me in your standstill ground”，希望能得到對方最後一次擁抱，或許是當作離別的禮物，然後一對相擁的戀人一起被暴風雨吞噬。風雨過後，對方將會被雨水沖淡，淡到連自己都想不起來，而自以也會完全淪陷，正因為徹底淪陷了，才有辦法重新爬起來，真正放下對方。
