In an interview with Australian music website FasterLouder, Ezra claimed,
The whole point of “Did You Hear the Rain?” was looking at characters – and I wrote that song actually when I was, I must have been 18, and I was looking into the fact that no matter who you meet, no matter how you meet them,...
[Verse 1]
Oh, did you hear the thunder
Or the rain?
Means I'm coming home again
Means I'm coming home, my friend
Oh, did you steal my name?
Oh, you jack of all trades
You're the master of none
Oh, the race has begun
I was born a champion
I was born to jump and run
[Chorus]
Oh, did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain, woo
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer's inside
[Verse 2]
Oh, did your siblings tell you
I was wastin' up your time?
Oh, now you're wastin' mine
You put me back in line
And I'm countin' every link
And I guess you think that's fine
[Chorus]
Oh, did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain, woo
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer's inside
[Verse 3]
Oh, did I send a shiver
Down your spine?
Well, I do it all the time
It's a little trick of mine
Did I make you shake your knees?
Did I make him spill his wine?
Lord, I'm spreadin' like disease
Lord, I'm all up in your mind
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, Lucifer's inside
[Chorus]
Oh, did you hear the rain?
Oh, the rain, woo
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Means I'm coming home again
Means I'm coming home, my friend
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Oh, Lucifer's inside
Lucifer's inside
