She Makes the Rain Better
By: Cry
Picture this..
I'm standin' in it when the rain "drip, drips!"
so it figures that I go insane, listenin'
to her name, which is listed in the top charts of my brain,
and I find composure from that is so hard to regain,
part of me's saying.. "stop doing what you do,
just quit staring at someone new for you to lose!"
but she knew.. she knew that I was doomed from the start,
and she still wanted something to do with my heart..
so we threw in a spark; it rained hard..
me thinking we'd be electrocuted was the lame part,
because praise God - the rain felt great,
and so I encouraged that the rain fell days,
months, even years; it's all good from today!
and it could make part of the news good for a change,
I look for embrace - and in an awfully funny format,
the weatherman's wrong on every sunny forcast,
cliche' as a welcoming floormat, but so natural it hurts,
natural as if we were formed from an actual birth.
Then today..
I opened my Jones at about 9 to 3:00,
cracked open that lid and it said to "Climb a Tree"
and I said that's fine for me, just so long as she's on top,
but can I bring a mask in case she sees I'm lost?
it'll be my fault, but at least she won't spy
that my medals are slightly off and I'm not a gold guy,
and stop it, oh my! those compliments are nice..
but for once in my life, I find when she's honest it's a lie.
I'm not what she thinks.. we love and hardly know
about what makes us love - man, aren't we slow?
and that sparkling glow returns, so I'm left upcasting
which in turn, makes my current girlfriend unhappy,
even she once had me, but I love too much..
throwing a hook back out; "the one you touched."
So picture this..
I have a girlfriend, who I'm delighted's with me,
then I have girl friend who I get more excited to see!
and when in the rain she's that lightnin', it seems
I can climb rain drops and get hang time in the streets,
the silver lining in me - she brings out my best,
but also the worst in the pit of my chest..
won't give into what's left, I'll be hurtin' none!
this is the one thing I never learned in love -
with my current one I ruin great sweaters,
and she.. she makes the rain better.
peace..
