When the rain comes down again
When the clouds come out again
Please say you're lonely
Please say you'll let me keep you dry

You weigh so much more when you are smiling
And you're a feather when you frown
I can't help you stand when you're not falling
And I can't pick you up when you're not down

When the rain comes down again
When the clouds come out again
Please say you're lonely
Please say you'll let me keep you dry

You said colors all look brighter in the sunlight
But I see so much better in the dark
You floated off to find your friends out on the fire escape
And I know I can't follow you that far
I can't follow you

Maybe love is a flame you say
That flickers and fades away
Nobody can make it rain
But I'm gonna wait
And if your love is a flame it's strange
To wish for the clouds and the pouring rain
When you're happy you just don't need me around

When the rain comes down again
When the clouds come out again
Please say you're lonely
Please say you'll let me keep you dry
