Ev'ry Time It Rains

Wish as you may
The world ain't all bubblegum pink
And we're not all good and we're not all bad
No we are not all true blue
Open your eyes
The sky falls down ev'ry time it rains
Open your mind
The world hasn't stopped spinning yet
Open your eyes
Open your mind
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
So come on spread you white dove wings
And fly with me
Take your feet off of the ground for just one second
You're seeing things through a grey-tinted lens
When just a sunset is purple and yellow and
Ruby red
Open your eyes
The sky falls down ev'ry time it rains
Open your mind
The world hasn't stopped spinning yet
Open your eyes
Open your mind
It's not over yet
It's not over yet

Looks Like Rain
02:06

The rain patters on the window
And it swoops across the river
Like a bird of prey
Every drop can be an ocean
Or maybe just a wave
It looks like rain
And the wind blows in all directions
It looks like rain
It looks like rain
And the rain is unique like a fingerprint
And it stings against your eyes
So you better shut them tight
And it can carry you in its current
It can carry you away
And it engulfs all it comes across
Like a fiery blaze
It looks like rain
And the wind blows in all directions
It looks like rain
It looks like rain
And the rain patters on the windows
And it swoops across the river
Like a bird of prey
And it trickles through your fingers
Like sand

It's Been Months
02:23

It's been months since I last saw you
And that's way too long I feel
That's a nice coat
Some great new shoes
And you'd almost think your smile was real
Let's dispense with the pleasantries
They're not pleasant any more
It seems you can't leave me alone
After all, what's your power for?
Perhaps you want to see me bleed
Want to get so close that I can't breathe
I think it's good that you're using me
To the best of your ability
They all told me there'd be trouble
When cupid fired I should have ducked
You keep pushing random buttons
And you always end up pushing the self-destruct
It's been months since I last saw you
And that's way too long I feel
That's a nice coat
Some great new shoes
And you'd almost think your smile was real
It's been months since I last saw you.

Your Fool
05:15
|

It was a cold day
Should've guessed by the gusts in the trees
It would not be good news
My heart was dancing
Bada-boom filled the room and I ran
To hear your voice
You sounded quiet
Something's wrong, I belong in your arms
So you can hold me safe
You said:
Are you alone? Can you be?
I fooled around with someone else, you see
It meant nothiung I promise just lapsed for a minute
I love you more than I can say
I let you talk to me
For an hour about how I could trust
Your fidelity
You sounded desperate
Another chance, this romance is really worth
Another shot
And I still loved you
Me and you we got through our share
Of troubles before
So I said:
I've got questions that need answering
My imagination is rioting
Make it up to me and I'll take you back
I can learn to trust again
You delivered
Another blow: you had no intention
To make it good
For some months now
You've wanted out, you had doubts
You wanted to be just friends
And you have feelings
For this chick who you picked over me
And everything we built for four years
When our bodies laid in each other's arms spent
How could I know what it was that I meant?
Love is such an ambiguous word
Wouldn't you agree?
You could have saved us
But the effort was never available
For you and I
So every time
We made love, push to shove, it could have been
Anyone at all
And when you took me
You were trying to lie and pretend
That everything was just fine
You only want the best for me
You feel for me platonically
Is that what you were thinking when
You were pinning me down?
So our story
Comes to an end, now just friends in this
Twisted reality
And you're the fool now
But I'm the one who got done and believed
You loved me truly
And still I love you
I'm ashamed that it came to this
I must admit
You lie to me, I love you
You ruin me, I love you
And the last laugh's on me because
I am still your fool

Your Game
05:30
|

I can't remember the time, the year, my name
But so far I'm doing pretty good at your game
You can dance all around me for days
But I can still read the lines in your face
You know a blank wall can give as much as it takes
Look at it for long enough, see all the expressions it makes
But a blank wall's expressions are transparent and true
Unlike people who make up theirs to lie about whatever they do
So you said we're in the big leagues now
And baby, baby, baby, I love you and how
Well, baby, baby, baby, you can give up this whore
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're not fooling me any more
It's really goodbye this time
It's really goodbye
It's really goodbye this time
One of us had to fly some time
Small steps, small steps, one and then two
They say I can't have it all so I'll have to make do
With this shit you're throwing at me way over my head
Sometimes they say dead should mean dead
Well go ahead, pitch it, give it all you've got
I'll tell you one thing, honey, I am not
And never will be one to play for the crowd
But this time, this time, I'm gonna say it aloud
So you said we're in the big leagues now
Baby, baby, baby, I love you and how
Well, baby, baby, baby, you can give up this whore
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're not fooling me any more
And baby, baby, baby we're in the big leagues now
And I'm coming at the world, so you'd better look out
My spirit will not break for you and your friends
Baby, baby, baby, this is where your little game ends
And the world kept spinning on
Yeah the world kept spinning
The world kept spinning on
Once you were gone
