With another foot closer
To the proverbial ledge
With another broken heart
And busted edge
With another empty promise
That i know i can't keep
And another fading night
Because i know i can't sleep
With everything you are
And everything i'm not
With everything i've lost
And all these vices i've got
With every waking second
Of every f**ing day
With all these haunting voices
That i wish would go away
And i am praying for rain
To fall down on me
And wash off the pain
That i've grown to need
I am praying for rain
To fall down on me
They say it's cleansing
And i believe
They say regret looks back
Confusion looks around
They say faith looks to the sky
So i focus on the ground
Cause i'm stepping on the cracks
Practicing what i can say
Just to try to make it better
Or just make it ok
And i am praying for rain
To fall down on me
And wash off the pain
That i've grown to need
I am praying for rain
To fall down on me
They say it's cleansing
And you ask
"are you mad at me?"
And i confirm
You don't even bother asking why
You're unconcerned
From kicking you out
To kissing in the rain
This life is like a bad romance movie
So goodbye to old lovers
Goodbye to this town
Goodbye to my friends
Who feel they once knew me well
Cause i got me some songs
And i got me a band
And i got me a day job
To buy me a van
And i'm leaving this town
And you people i hate
And i'll smile to myself
As we hit the next state
And i am praying for rain
To fall down on me
And wash off the pain
That i've grown to need
Someone turn down the sun
Bring me some night
I can't stand the way
I look in this daylight
I am praying for rain
To fall down on me
And wash off the pain
That i've grown to need
I am praying for rain
To fall down on me
They say it's cleansing
And i believe
They say that miracles never cease
Well i am totally alone
They say the history just repeats and repeats
I am once again on my own
