I really thought that I was okay
原以为我会没事
I really thought that I was just fine
原以为我没你也能过
But when I woke this time
但这次梦醒时分
There was nothing to take me back to sleep
却再也无法入眠
To take you off my mind this time
再也无法不顾忌你

And I keep saying over and over and over and over again
我说过了　一次又一次地说
Let it rain, let it rain
让雨下吧　尽情地下吧
Over and over and over and over again
一而再　再而三
Let it rain, let it rain
让雨下吧　尽情地下吧
I need to hide within a storm
狂风暴雨中　寻求庇护
So have the lightening come
雷电　尽情地来吧
Bring the winds that scream
咆哮的怒风　尽情地吹吧
Spill the fog all over town
将浓雾布满小镇
Hold me in your standstill ground
到时候　请紧紧抱着我
And I will sink down
而我会慢慢下沉
And you’ll be washed away
你会被雨水冲淡
You’ll be washed away
直到你消失在我的世界

Over and over and over and over again
我说过了　一次又一次地说
Let it rain, let it rain
让雨下吧　尽情地下吧
Over and over and over and over again
一而再　再而三
Let it rain, let it rain
让雨下吧　尽情地下吧

I really thought that I was okay
原以为我会没事
I really thought that I was just fine
原以为我没你也能过
But when I woke this time
但这次梦醒时分
There was nothing to take you off my mind
我却再也无法不想你

Over and over and over and over again
我说过了　一次又一次地说
Let it rain, let it rain
让雨下吧　尽情地下吧
Over and over and over and over again
一而再　再而三
Let it rain, let it rain
让雨下吧　尽情地下吧
I need to hide within a storm
狂风暴雨中　寻求庇护
So have the lightening come
雷电　尽情地来吧
Bring the winds that scream
咆哮的怒风　尽情地吹吧
Spill the fog all over town
将浓雾布满小镇
Break through every door
吹毁每一道房门
Strip away the trees
让巨树纷纷倒下
Raise the rivers high
卷起惊涛骇浪
Just help me drown
让我沉沦吧
Hold me in your standstill ground
到时候　请紧紧抱着我
And I will sink down
而我会慢慢下沉
And you’ll be washed away
你会被雨水冲淡
You’ll be washed away
直到你消失在我的世界

Rachael Yamagata 的嗓音有种很疗愈的效果，如果你喜欢 Birdy 风格的音乐，那么大概也会很喜欢 Rachael Yamagata 的歌曲。仿佛有种能够重拾感情碎片的能力，把原本破碎的东西透过音乐慢慢复原。

这首 Over and Over 说的是对于一段已结束的感情，无法彻底走出去，无法放下，虽然实质上两人已分别，但感情上却仍顾忌著另一个人。因此，她祈求一场大雨，一场狂风暴雨将一切都破坏殆尽，不只是外在的房子、树木，而是连自己和对方都要摧毁。暴风雨来袭时，她说”Hold me in your standstill ground”，希望能得到对方最后一次拥抱，或许是当作离别的礼物，然后一对相拥的恋人一起被暴风雨吞噬。风雨过后，对方将会被雨水冲淡，淡到连自己都想不起来，而自以也会完全沦陷，正因为彻底沦陷了，才有办法重新爬起来，真正放下对方。
