When It Rains

It doesn't hit me in that Eastside dive bar, no
It doesn't hit me when a stranger says your name
It doesn't hit me when somebody plays
That old heartbreaker song we used to sing
Doesn't hit me when I wake up in the morning

I only miss you when it rains
When the sky is grey and white
When the day feels like the night
And I guess it makes sense

'Cause you and me we're always bound
To be one long stretch of clouds
Waitin' for the rainbow that never came
I only miss you, I only miss you when it rains

This the kind of thing that makes young lovers kiss, yeah
And little kids run outside and make a mess
The kind of thing that makes flowers grow
It'll wash away a weary soul
But as long as it falls, I know I'll still see your face

I only miss you when it rains
When the sky is grey and white
When the day feels like the night
And I guess it makes sense

'Cause you and me we're always bound
To be one long stretch of clouds
Waitin' for the rainbow that never came
I only miss you, I only miss you when it rains

It's not the sunshine, no
It's not the blue sky, no
It's that rain that starts comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down

I only miss you when it rains
When the sky is grey and white
When the day feels like the night
And I guess it makes sense

'Cause you and me we're always bound
To be one long stretch of clouds
Waitin' for the rainbow that never came
I only miss you, I only miss you
I only miss you when it rains

(It's not the sunshine) I only miss you when it rains
(It's not the blue sky) hmm-mm
(It's not the sunshine) hmm-mm
(It's not the blue sky) I only miss you, I only miss you when it rains
