“she looks a lot like summer,
and i look a lot like rain.
she has eternity to lose,
but i have forever to gain.
i fell asleep deep inside a dark place,
the shadows painted on my face
like graffiti on a wall.
it was cold, for a summer singin season,
but the ice gave me a reason,
to never love anyone, or anything at all.
i hated sleep
cuz sleeping just meant dreaming,
and dreaming just meant sinking
into a time and place that i could not understand.
when did they sky become so god damn blue?
what beautiful things a pair of eyes can do.
you can hate the rain for what it’s not,
but sometimes the pain is all we’ve got.
yea, even when the sky wasn’t so blue
i always saved a little faith for you.
love the rain for washing pain away
but love the pain for giving the rain a chance to stay.
someone sent us another chance,
with the ribbon wrapped around our hands,
yea, even when the sky wasn’t so blue
i always kept some faith inside for you.
you looked a lot like summer,
and i looked a lot like rain.
you had me to lose,
but i had you to gain.”
