When the Sunshine Rains

My mind's a little weary
and sometimes it can be scary
it's always thinkin' what comes next
By this time next December
I'll probably forget to remember
about the words that he once said
Darlin' now that we are young
I think it's time to have some fun
oh baby just forget about it...
You don't need to say no more
just let your worries walk right out the door
Who says that we need to know
where our lives are goin'
always on the go
And on the cloudy days
when your mind is far away
don't forget
that ya love it when the sunshine rains
(ooooouuuu)
Thunder can't be scary
if her lightning doesn't carry
Because of him she's walkin' through the poor
Raindrops on my window
Honey say the word and we go
Dancin' in the dreams that only we know
Now we're smokin' in the car
I hear raindrops through his guitar
Then he turns to me and says...
You don't need to say no more
just let your worries walk right out the door
Who says that we need to know
where our lives are goin'
always on the go
And on the cloudy days
when your mind is far away
don't forget
that ya love it when the sunshine rains
(ooooouuuu)
Don't ya love it when the sunshine rains?
Forgot I loved it when the sunshine rains...

Where We Are

Is it too much to ask
for someone to love
someone who I've been thinking of
who sees himself inside my eyes
Knowing what I think inside
If it's too much to ask for, tell me why
Tell me why
Love is a funny thing
What's it mean to be in love anyway
Is it long drives in fancy cars
or is it singing while he plays guitar
I'll probably never know, I'll never get that far
But I don't mind cause
I'm just living where we are
Is it too much to ask
for someone to care
Don't have to be in love for you
to brush my hair
from my face
before a warm embrace
Just to share a loving feeling for the chase
Love is a funny thing
What's it mean to be in love anyway
Is it long nights in rowdy bars
Drinking while he smokes cigars
I'll probably never know, I'll never get that far
But I don't mind cause
I'm just living where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Is it nights looking at the stars
Thinking while I'm in your arms
Wondering how we ever even got this far
I wouldn't mind cause
I'd be living where we are

Bad Idea

Sunny days
gestured on your face
while I can't see the light
inside my own eyes
I look into the mirror
just to find that I can't see her anymore
She's walked right out the door
Lookin' at you in this light
I don't mind it
Maybe this time
I won't try to hide it
I think I need a bad idea
just a one-time-thing
And you seem like the kinda guy
who's into that sorta thing
A quick escape from the wilderness
that is my mind
Would it be ok if I called you mine
Even if it is just for tonight
My whole life
I have tried
to live up to expectations
that weren't even mine
All of these
other people in my life
I let get inside
Why did I
Lookin' at me in this light
I don't mind it
Maybe this time
I won't try to fight it
I think I need a bad idea
just a one-time-thing
And you seem like the kinda guy
who's into that sorta thing
A quick escape from the wilderness
that is my mind
Would it be ok if I called you mine
Even if it is just for tonight
Tonight I wanna break free
Yeah, I just wanna be me
It seems so easy
So why is it so hard...
(ohhhhhhh)
I think I need a bad idea
just a one-time-thing
And you seem like the kinda guy
who's into that sorta thing
A quick escape from the wilderness
that is my mind
Would it be ok if I called you mine
Even if it is just for tonight
For toniiiiight
Would it be ok
if I called you mine
Even if it is just for tonight ;)

Your hair is longer now
Looks like you put on some weight too
Different from last May
You looked happier
but maybe it's just a face
Was kinda hard to concentrate
Seein' you after all this time
But there's one thing that I can't escape
The familiar touch of your embrace
It used to be so hard for me to look at you
and try to see the good in you
with everything we've been through
But this time all that I could see
was the you when you were 17
and it hurt me in a place that cut so deep
That for a sec I think I almost saw the me
that I gave to you so long ago
back when you were 17
Yeah, this new place of yours
it's way nicer than our last one
and I couldn't help but ask myself
would I have been happier there too
When you were lookin' at me
what did ya see
Was it all the things we could've been
It used to be so hard for me to look at you
and try to see the good in you
with everything that we've been through
But this time all that I could see
was the you when you were 17
and it hurt me in a place that cut so deep
That for a sec I think I almost saw the me
that I gave to you so long ago
back when you were 17
Yeah sure, love is fine when it's new
but what does it come down to
when two people always seem to fall into
All the heartache and the fights
Just five years ago, this time
He was the purpose in my mind
But I guess 16 was young for "my whole life"
That day I came to get my things
and when I looked at you
I only saw the good in you
I turned back to 16
And all that I could see
was the boy when he was 17
and it made me think of all the love that we
Let slip through the cracks beneath
the old floor of that apartment
that never could be cleaned
But we lost that love forever
but still, all I could see
was 17, 17, 17

I've got a clouded mind...
I don't know what I feel
I don't wanna waste time
but I see you
I've got dreams, I do
Dreams for me and you
but I don't know what to do
Cause I don't feel you
What would you say if I
took your pain away if I
put your heartbeat next to mine
I wanna know who I am
but I don't know how to get there
Feel like I can't go anywhere
just cause I think you care
I don't where to go
I feel alone
I just wanna go to sleep
but I can't stop thinking...
I've got a clouded mind...
I don't know what to feel
I'm tired of wasting time
Try to be cautious
Try to have hope
but I want such difficult things
Am I naive of am I right for thinkin'
I could live my dreams
I've got a clouded mind...
But clouds only hide what's to come

I don't love you
But I try to
Oh, I try to
I tried
I've lost the meaning
Don't know what I'm feelin'
Try to find the real thing
That's why
I wonder what you think of when you dream at night
It makes me wonder what the hell those hazel eyes
are watchin'
Can't say out loud
But I don't know how
you still sleep by
my side
You must know somethin'
Still ya don't say nothin'
between unspoken fights
I wonder what you think of when you dream at night
It makes me wonder what the hell those hazel eyes
You don't understand
that when you touch my hand
that I don't see no lights
Don't wanna put on a show
I think it's time ya know...
I wonder how you love someone who can't give back
It makes me wonder why the hell you haven't left
And now I'm left to ponder when I dream at night
I wonder if you wonder what my hazel eyes
are watchin'
