The sun; cloud hides
And shadows disappear
A drop strikes cheek
And parallels the tracks already there
Well, if a million more rain down
Sickly wilted grass might stand
So go ahead and soak me wet
It's fine with me today
Today, I love my tears
Today, I plan to cry
Don't want to make this better
Today the hurt feels right
A fool you'd say
If I went seeking sorrow
But chasing happiness has left me here to worry
Frustration; my thief
The subtle treasure missing from the box
Calendar has put them in today
So I'll sit back and watch the world just spin
(Guitar solo)
Am I so surprised?
Don't I read the paper?
Or listen close enough
When friends recount that tragic visitation
All you sad-faced lepers come to ruin my dance
You were the dance
And I just couldn't see
I'm sorry if I ran from you
Come now, we'll lick each other's wounds
It's not a filthy crime to weep
Today, I love my tears
Today, I plan to cry
Don't want to make this better
Today the hurt feels right
So I'll sit back and watch my world just spin
The blue and yellow pinwheel blurs to green
I'll hurt and grieve then heal
So clean I'll be
So clean; I'll know the morning birdsong is for me
I'll know the morning birdsong is for me
