lyrics

Some days the rain will fall
There's no one you can hold
In the middle of your life
The Universe is your home
Don't you want to be with me?
I'll keep you safe and warm
It's a cruel, cruel world
That only we can understand

There's no one who understands me like you do
You do
But there's no way for me to get through to you
Through to you
I can't tell you I love you like I used to
Used to
But I know in time
The rain will fall
The sun will shine
Again

Today I saw the sky
Painted in violet and orange
I thought it was the Universe calling to me
That I would be yours
And I know
Some day awaits
Where patiently I know that I can find you now
Somehow your mind
Will wake up one day soon

There's no one who understands me like you do
You do
But there's no way for me to get through to you
Through to you
I can't tell you I love you like I used to
Used to
But I know in time
The sun will shine through the rain again

Mommy and Daddy, they don't need you anymore
Not as bad as I do
You can come over to my house now
I won't smother you
It'll feel so comfortable
You'll never want to leave again

There's no one who understands you like I do
I do
But there's no way for me to get through to you
Through to you
I can't tell you I love you like I used to
Used to
But I know in time
The sun will shine through the rain again
And we'll be right where we should have been all along
