i would rather it was raining

it would match my

kind of human

it would match my

kind of mind

the sun beats on my shoulder

i can’t see why i should stay

 

i would rather it was raining

it would match my

lie of life

throw our embers to the sky

throw your kindling too much smoke

and i can’t let it scratch my face

 

i would rather it was raining

it would match my

kind of human

it would match my

kind of mind

the sun beats on my shoulder

i can’t see why i should stay
