Lyrics
‘Rainin’ In My Head’
String my words together while I'm closer to the edge
See me fall apart, don't really need it
Risen from the darkness, can't erase you from my head
I just know that I ain't gonna last
And I ain't gonna stay, yeah
No I ain't gonna wake up tomorrow
No I ain't gonna stay, yeah
And I ain't gonna wake up
Cos it's always rainin' in my head
And it's always rainin' in my dreams, yeah
Yeah it's always rainin' in my head
Like it's always been
I take it really badly when you break me up inside
I can't climb out and see what's up ahead
I wanna see the sun, I wanna reach the other side
I can't reply but I hear what you said
Oh I ain't gonna stay, yeah
No I ain't gonna wake up tomorrow
Oh I ain't gonna stay, yeah
No I ain't gonna wake up
Cos it's always rainin' in my head
And it's always rainin' in my dreams, yeah
Yeah it's always rainin' in my head
Like it's always been
Nothing comes together, what I need is outa sight
I can't warm the ice within my soul
Lookin' for a vision in the sky beyond the light
Waitin' for the emptiness to fold
You an' me we are the torchlight comin' down
You an' me we never land on solid ground
How can you let me leave without a sound
You know if I can swim then I can drown
You know if I can swim then I can drown...
And I ain't gonna stay, yeah
Oh I ain't gonna wake up tomorrow
No I ain't gonna stay, yeah
And I ain't gonna wake up
Cos it's always rainin' in my head
And it's always rainin' in my dreams, yeah
And it's always rainin' in my head
Like it's always been, yeah
And it's always rainin' in my head
And it's always rainin' in my dreams, yeah
And it's always rainin' in my head
Like it's always been, yeah
Like it's always been...
String my words together while I'm closer to the edge
See me fall apart, don't really need it...
