rain dance

I hope it rains on your birthday
So you will know what it's like to feel so extinguished
In the meantime
I will pass the torch to the next contender
Pretending that I'm not scared to death
And I want to see what you have left for me to lose
Their circumstantial impressions of you will run loose

I know we can't live this down
There's too much they've found out

And now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in
And now I'm all figured out
I'll swear I'm all there
But i won't romanticize
All these fragile lives
If you're out of sight
I can't sleep with the lights out

I hope you're sad
Was he worth it?
You shouldn't be happy
But you know that
We're caught in the aftermath of a train wreck
Convinced that i was forcing you off the tracks
Just know that
On your head be this shy post-pubescent mess
Dealing with stress the way that he knows best
I confess

We can't live this down
There's just too much they've found out

Now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in
And now I'm all figured out
I'll swear I'm all there
But I won't romanticize
All these fragile lives
If you're out of sight
I can't sleep with the lights out

He's just a boy with ambition
And she's the girl who won't listen
The story never gets old
Just the way that we tell it
Murder by word of mouth
Her lips break into a smile
And all my weaknesses
They become
They become
He's just a boy with ambition
And she's the girl who won't listen
It's murder by word of mouth
Your lips break into a smile
And all my weaknesses
They become
They become her
The story never gets old

And now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in
You've got me figured all out
And now everything has broken but the skin that we're sleeping in
And now we're all figured out
It's by word of mouth
You'll be just another rain cloud
