I pissed you off when I tried to stop the rain.
You said, "Chad, I'm sorry, these songs all sound the same."
Then I kissed your cheek like a gentleman, and whispered "Don't give up".
All the monsters in this town will act they give a fuck,

But I know they don't, they never even learned to love.
This is what I've been dreaming of.
I'll shade your eyes and tell you, "You look pretty..."
Even when you don't believe me.

I'm a black hole with a personality.
I love love and Rilo Kiley.
Most days I hate the rain,
Sometimes I don't.

It's a damn shame that you still hate change.
One day you'll learn,
Everything everywhere's all the same
With your eyes closed.

Just give me two chords and I'll make you cry.
It's the slow songs that'll change your life...
When you're too tired to even say,
"Where's my mind?"

But I know they don't, they never even learned to love.
This is what I've been dreaming of.
I'll shade your eyes and tell you, "You look pretty..."
Even when you don't believe me

The drunks all sound like angels,
Singing all night from the barlight doors.
I wonder when they'll realize
No one's singing along?

These roads all lead to nowhere,
In the towns where no one sleeps.
Seattle, Dallas and Nashville,
A Marietta moon in New York City.

But I know they don't, they never even learned to love.
This is what I've been dreaming of.
I'll shade your eyes and tell you, "You look pretty..."
Even when you don't believe me

Goddamn these thoughts of mine.
I just need one good night,
Where things go right for once
And my whole life doesn't explode.

Because seemingly it's a really really good thing
To know you're invincible,
But everybody ends up in the ground
Scared as hell of heaven, and whatever might be next.

But I know they don't, they never even learned to love.
This is what I've been dreaming of.
I'll shade your eyes and tell you, "You look pretty..."
Even when you don't believe me

But I know they don't, they never even learned to love.
This is what I've been dreaming of.
I'll shade your eyes and tell you, "You look pretty..."
Even when you don't believe me
