watch the rain

let it pour

let it fall down like your dreams

let it go

let it flow away into the gutter

let it wash all the colour away from yourself

let it take away the pain

i remember when you asked me do i ever watch the rain

and i remember i was watching it then but i just didn't want to say

and now when you look out your window it'll never be the same

'cause when it falls down from now on you'll always think of my name

yeah

i'll be in your brain

and if you get a leak in your roof just think of it like my problems falling through

and if you get a hole in your ceiling think of how i'll be feeling

cold and all alone

like a drifting leaf

falling from the autumn trees again and again

oh oh oh

watch it drop from the sky like a child running away

watch it roll off the page like a tear from my face

hear the pitter patter on the pavement like me knocking on your door

as it brushes the floor

i remember when you asked me do i ever watch the rain

and i remember i was watching it then but i just didn't want to say

and now when you look out your window it'll never be the same

'cause when it falls down from now on you'll always think of my name

yeah

i'll be in your brain

and if you get a leak in your roof just think of it like my problems falling through

and if you get a hole in your ceiling think of how i'll be feeling

cold and all alone

like a drifting leaf

falling from the autumn trees

yeah

again and again

oh oh oh

and i know you're working me out slowly but surely

slowly but surely

and i know you'll never tell about my other side

and that's why we all watch the rain to wash away the secrets and the lies

'cause i know everyone watches the rain sometimes. watch it fall down as you watch me fall for you

'cause you knew it was about you but you didn't have the guts to say

that you knew it was all for you
