Tell me what you want me to be
I can't stand myself anymore
Tell me what you want me to see
I can't find my way off the floor
Took me like a hurricane 

I think it's gonna rain,
Yeah I think it's gonna rain 
Rain down on me

Tell me what you want me to hear
Whisper words inside of my head
Thunder like a gun in my ear
Clouds are burstin' over my bed
Wash me like a hurricane

I think it's gonna rain
Yeah I think it's gonna rain
I think it's gonna rain down down down
I think it's gonna rain

Open your eyes
You can't deny 
It's just a fantasy
Yeah some things will end
Some will begin
Some things will never be 
Yea
Rain down on me
Tell me what you want me to know
Tell me what you're dyin' to say
Throw your feelings up in the air
Let the pieces fall where they may

Open your eyes
You can't deny
It's just a fantasy
Yeah some things will end
Some will begin
Some things will never be
Yeah I think it's gonna rain 
I think it's gonna rain
I think it's gonna rain
Yeah I think it's gonna rain 
Rain down on me 
Rain down on me 
Rain down on me
