Lyrics:
This morning when I woke up, I woke up smiling
Then I took one look outside
I couldn’t bring myself to believe it
Let down once again by the sky (not again)
This was supposed to be our one day together
You promised me that we’d run in the sun (yes you did)
Instead we’re all locked up down in misery
Stuck inside how are we supposed to have any fun?
If I don’t get out, you know I’ll go crazy
The only place that I feel free
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Well I hate the rain, everybody knows it
And there at no fucking way I’m walking out that door
So just wake me up when it’s all over
And I’ll have something, something to live for
Slipped into a dream, dreamed I was running
Down a never ending beach with you
And then I go run and hiding in the beach grass
Then come running, smiling back to you
If I don’t get out, you know I’ll go crazy
The only place that I feel free
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Why’d you have to go and rain?
It’s not that I’m sad, it’s not that I’m lazy
It’s the only place that I feel free
Why’d you have to go and rain?
Why’d you have to go and rain?
