Song lyrics
Rain is a bad reminder of everything I don't want to know
Rain is a backseat driver that takes me where I don't want to go
And it looks like the sky is caving in again
I'm dry and cracked, the sky goes black
And tut, tut, it looks like rain

Erosion
Oh, Spirit, fall like rain on my thirsty soul
Erosion
Oh, sweet erosion, break me and make me whole

The thirstiest grounds can't take the rain
My undecided vices washing on down the drain
And it looks like the sky is caving in again
My heart is cracked, the sky goes black
And tut, tut it looks like rain

Oh, Erosion, would You wash away my sins?
Oh, Erosion, I need a second shot again
Oh, Erosion, would you break my heart again?
Oh, Erosion, I am a broken-hearted man

the song kind of means that he wants time to take his sins away and he wants his heart to be able to accept God and the spirit and he wants God but he needs him to enter his soul and he isnt sure how to let Him, if that amkes ne sense

Guess he uses it just to sort of express hisself by using a word, like tight or bad, even wicked (all meaning cool). I just love Switchfoot!! They rock!!!!!

As for the reason he uses the word "erosion", I think this line pretty much sums it up:

"Oh erosion, would you wash away my sin?"
