In Mississippi, the song plays with the metaphor of rising water to suggest growing desire. The story unfolds across two floors of a house: she lives upstairs while he waits below. As her passion builds, droplets of water begin to fall through the ceiling, slowly at first, then more intensely. What starts as a few drops turns into a steady flow, until the room below begins to flood transforming the space into a poetic reflection of the overwhelming current of emotion and attraction that connects them.
