I Wish I Were The Rain

(albüm: Knock On The Sky - 2002)

You said, I bled
You meant, I went
Overcomplicated, spent
Love's a series of broken sentences
Miscalculations, reconciliations
Seductive highs, destructive lows
Words that fly too fast
Feet that move too slow
Wish I could dance outside this windowpane
Oh, I wish I were the rain

[Chorus:]
'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Gingerly drip down a lover's face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can feed a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish I were the)
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish I were the)
I wish I were the rain (rain, I wish I were the)
Oh yeah, I wish I were the rain

Don't speak, I'm weak
You cry, I lie
Overcompensation, why
Our arsenal of hope has been bled dry
Don't you wish that you could live outside the insane
Don't you ever wish for a free reign

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge:]
The blistering, twisted, hard-fisted blows
Have drowned the once fervent glow

I wish I were the rain
I can cry just like the rain, the rain
Yeah, I wish I were
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Yeah
