in these days
with the world getting colder
she spends more time sleeping over
than i planned. tonight we're gonna order in
drinking wine and watchin' cnn. it's dark i know
but then again
it's the brightest thing i got
when i'm covered in rain
rain
when i'm covered in rain
rain
rain
rain
from fireworks to fireplaces
summer stole what fall replaces
and now we're people watching all the people watching us right back now
standing by the missing signs at the cvs by the checkout line
she puts her quiet hands in mine
'cause she's the brightest thing i got
when i'm covered in rain
when i'm covered in rain
rain
rain
rain
when i'm covered in rain
rain
rain
covered
covered
and come december lydia left
she mentioned something 'bout it being for the best
and i can't say i disagree and it's killing me
and now i'm standing facing west
tracing my fingers 'round her silhouette
i haven't gotten used to you
but it's the best thing i got
when i'm covered in rain
when i'm covered rain
rain
rain
covered in rain
rain
rain
it's alright
if you don't want to
go on
it's alright
if you don't want to
be alone
oh it's alright
if you don't want to
go home
i understand i understand i understand
when i'm covered in rain
