(marr and sumner)

close your lips
we shall not speak of this
i’m not the first person to know
it’s only me out in the cold

let me feel joy, i really need it
rush in my blood, i want to feel it
and i’m sure when it’s begun
one into two always leaves one

look at the rain, look at it falling
into my world, why are you calling
won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
will not deserve, will not desert you

look at the rain

can you see
you were so indiscrete
stole all the change off me
how could i know that you would cheat

is it what i’ve done
i could be or become
i don’t need someone else
this is me beside myself

look at the rain, look at it falling
into my world, why are you calling
won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
will not deserve, will not desert you

look at the rain

look at the rain, look at it falling
into my world, why are you calling
won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
will not deserve, will not desert you

look at the rain, look at it falling
into my world, why are you calling
won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
will not deserve, will not desert you

look at the rain
