jack droppers & the best intentions – sound of the rain lyrics
[verse 1]
in every photograph from my past
i look uncomfortably at ease
like the steady hands of a circus man
dancing on the trapeze
i was sprawled out on the couch
in my standard sunday stupor
with a camera phone covered in rhinestones
she took a photo that amused her
[pre+chorus]
sayin’
i got you
and i got you
[chorus]
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
puddle in a pothole, the squeaks on a brake
your only wish was to go away
once the sun starts shining again
and when you find that applause from within
not in the noise of the places you’ve been
not in the words you try to defend
then you start to laugh at your plans
to bе is all that i am
[verse 2]
she’s got a secret shе’s been holding
inside those journals that she keeps
a loose connection, past reflection
the binding tearing at the seems
and i wonder if she’ll tell me
the thing that she won’t tell herself
how she feels alone when she goes home
pr+nounce her name with an extra l
[pre+chorus]
sayin’
i got you
and i got you
[chorus]
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
puddle in a pothole, the squeaks on a brake
your only wish was to go away
once the sun starts shining again
and when you find that applause from within
not in the noise of the places you’ve been
not in the words you try to defend
then you start to laugh at your plans
to be is all that i am
[verse 3]
there’s a man who’s lives down the street
who comes askin’ to mow my lawn
he’s got a kid at home in diapers
but he’s got nothin’ left to p+wn
so every sat+rday this year
he comes a+knocking at my door
looking for leaves to rake or snow to shovel
something i can pay him for
and i wish i had the cash to pay him
’cause i doubt that he’s taking a card
and i’m too lazy to go to the atm
i’d have to brush that snow off my car
i wish that i could care about anything
as much as he does for his kid
maybe then i could love you more
learn to take less than i give
[bridge]
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
you only wake up
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
[chorus]
you only wake up to the sound of the rain
puddle in a pothole, the squeaks on a brake
your only wish was to go away
once the sun starts shining again
and when you find that applause from within
not in the noise of the places you’ve been
not in the words you try to defend
then you start to laugh at your plans
to be is all that i am
