A Song For a Rainy Day

It is always amazing to me the level of control in which the weather has on our emotions. At least mine, I won't speak for you. It is a catapult for whatever emotion we are feeling the most. If we are in a good mood already and it is a nice, warm, sunny day that helps propel the good emotions. Likewise for the rain and any bad emotions. Hence...

To the Sound of the Rain

Verse
Water distorts the images;

The drops are sliding down the glass.

I am calling you from inside my car,

To tell you I am falling way too fast.

PreChorus

To the sounds of the rain,

I feel the source of my pain.

You can call it disdain,

Call it anything.

To give it a name,

Doesn't mean it'll change,

Don't mean a damn thing

If you say it in vain.

Chorus

I know I don't quite seem like myself.

I'm just a back against the wall, and a heart on a shelf.

I know I don't quite seem like myself.

But tell me, how can I be anyone else?

Verse
The trees assert their fortitude,
But the wind still finds its way to me.
It's smoked me out of every bush,
And out of everything I told myself to be.

PreChorus

To the sounds of the rain,

I feel the source of my pain.

You can call it disdain,

Call it anything.

To give it a name,

Doesn't mean it'll change,

Don't mean a damn thing

If you say it in vain.

Chorus

I know I don't quite seem like myself.

I'm just a back against the wall, and a heart on a shelf.

I know I don't quite seem like myself.

But tell me, how can I be anyone else?

Outro
Drop by drop like the beating clock
Of a lover's breath, or the retreating stop
Of a restless day.
The rain is in my face,
And in my veins.
Most days I feel this way.
