Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again

The speaker is remembering a relationship that has ended or been interrupted. Memories of happier time together return, and sadness comes with them. The speaker still hopes the other person will come back, so the song moves between loneliness and a wish for reconciliation rather than reaching a clear resolution.

Rain and clouds represent the speaker’s sadness, while sunshine suggests the happiness they felt with their partner. The “rainy day feeling” is an emotional state, not just bad weather: the speaker expects the pain to return. Sunday memories seem especially precious, and Monday may suggest the difficult return to ordinary life after time together. “Breaking up inside” means feeling deeply distressed while trying not to show it.

The lyrics leave some details uncertain. The relationship may have ended, or the couple may simply be apart; the speaker’s hope that the other will “stay” suggests they might still be able to reunite. The effort to disguise their feelings also creates tension: pride encourages the speaker to hide the pain, but their tears and visible loneliness make that difficult. The repeated rainy-day image makes the sadness feel familiar and recurring, while the possibility of the loved one returning offers a fragile sense of hope.
