Rain, rain, won't you stay
I never really cared for when the skies were blue
I'd rather have you than snow today
Oh, rain, rain, won't you stay
I never really cared for when the skies were blue
I'd rather have you than snow today
My turn signal blinks when I turn left or right
Almost in sync with my flashin' engine light
It could be worse, I could be cursed
To steerin' old habits rollin' on stolen bikes
To be workin' with an organ with less than golden pipes
To be headed nowhere with a head full of hopeful hype
I'm not the man you'd settle for
Who could only maintain a crush on the girl from the liquor store
For rich or poor, hittin' the deck or jumpin' over board
We sadly volunteer for the happy in-between
And I've been floatin' off the course and haven't seen the shore
Ever since I cut the anchor and decided this was me
So spill, did you choose- is this you?
Beautiful and uptight tryin' to keep grad school cool?
Payin' off the debt behind a desk slangin' booze
Waitin' on someday, mmm
Frozen just before closin'
I couldn't help but notice
You gave a small smile
Knowin' tonight might be different
Than bright lights and liquor
Ya look out the window and sigh
Rain, rain, won't you stay
I never really cared for when the skies were blue
I'd rather have you than snow today
Oh, rain, rain, won't you stay
I never really cared for when the skies were blue
I'd rather have you than snow today
I have dreams, but I wake up on a couch
Or in my car, or the floor of someone else's house
It could be worse, I could be cursed
Sleepin' on cardboard, laughin' at the clouds
This tough lover's crush ain't the slightest odd
It's an invite to spray paint the town when you get off your job
So, before you buckle underneath your hopes to keep'em up
Find a black dress, the night is lookin' mighty Neil Young
Meet me on the corner at the center of the city
Where tomorrow ain't a promise and it's only good as iffy
We'll show the buildings and graffiti what they're missin'
And give'em a little bit'a the venom and good heavens
Since "I like you" hasn't been enough
Here's a full heart, gold coin and a one-up
Where I'm from, goin' vulnerable is playin' smart
Lights out, let's give this thing a jumpstart
Frozen just before closin'
I couldn't help but notice
You gave a small smile
Knowin' tonight might be different
Than bright lights and liquor
Ya look out the window and sigh
You're tired of the same
Well, right on, right on, right on, right on, right on
You're tired of the same
Well, right on, right on, right on, right on, right on
I could be your change
Right on, right on, right on, right on, right on
I could be your change
Frozen just before closin'
I couldn't help but notice
You gave a small smile
Knowin' tonight might be different
Than bright lights and liquor
Ya look out the window and sigh
Rain, rain, won't you stay
I never really cared for when the skies were blue
I'd rather have you than snow today
Oh, rain, rain, won't you stay
I never really cared for when the skies were blue
I'd rather have you than snow today
