You gave me seven ways that I could look into a mirror
Gave me seven new ways I could realize my fears
Took me seven places I could get myself redeemed
Seven more new ways to scream
It took me seven years just to realize I was lost
Took me seven years just to add up all the costs
Took me seven years just to realize I was sane
Seven long days in the rain
You gave me seven chariots and seven horses, too
Seven burning bridges just to get me back to you
I faced seven demons and seven dragons slew
But seven times I could not get through
After seven broken promises and seven white lies
I don't know if I should try to judge or sympathize
You told me Cain killed Abel, I know Abel killed Cain
Seven long days in the rain

That is why, that is why
You die inside and never live
Or live free and die
That is why, that is why
These days of wonder are drowning under
The ocean waves of seven long days in the rain

Sometimes I wake up and I can only count to three
I need four more ways to reach tranquility
I need seven tempests just to clear my cluttered mind
Seven planets I can realign
So tell me all your secrets and where's your Waterloo
'Cuz I've got seven skeletons that I could show to you
I've got seven deadly sins and nothing left to gain
Seven long days in the rain
Seven long days in the rain
Seven long days in the rain
Seven long days in the rain

I could be your Carolina
I could be your Ohio
I'll always be your Minnesota
Wish I could be your Mexico

I've been standing here for hours
I watch the clouds and they come and go
I smell the rain and I feel the flowers
I leave my footprints in the snow

I could go wherever you want me to
Just give me someplace I can find
I don't know what it'll take
Before the fever starts to break
But I've never been the patient kind
I just want you to be mine

I could be your Santa Rosa
I could be your Buffalo
I could be your Saratoga
Wish I could be your Mexico

I could be whoever you want me to
Just give me someplace I can hide
I'm running out of reasons
And I'm running out of seasons
And I'm disappearing all the time
I just want you to be mine.

I could be your Carolina
I could be your Ohio
I'll always be your Minnesota
Wish I could be your Mexico
Wish I could be your Mexico
Wish I could be your Mexico

Wrote it all down and I
Headed 'cross town and I
Bore witness to the violence
You uttered her name as they
Casually took it all away
And you suffered in silence
Now there's flowers on the roadside
Marking off their moments of regret
But their contrition will ring hollow
In El Dorado

Saw the names all written down
"Can you see us feel us hear us now?"
And they called it a riot
They said "Go back to your homes
You can talk about your problems with your own and...
Keeping suffering in silence"
I saw the writing on the Marshall Bridge
It said "This Is Every Day For Us"
Over the river where it all flows
To El Dorado

The flowers dried and the murals faded
They thought they'd survived, thought they'd evaded
And kept their alliance
With self-righteousness and solidarity
False alarm and fake sincerity
They try to keep you in silence
His people think it's over now
But it goes on and on and on and on and on
They'll have no one left to follow
In El Dorado

Wrote it all down and I
Headed 'cross town to say
No more suffering in silence

I try to write it off
I try to fight it off
I try to question and wonder
When I can't end it I
Try to befriend it but
It just keeps dragging me under

You say it'll be okay, but I don't believe it
You tell me all you need is love, but I can't receive it
I'm just trying to find the words to say
Can you help me make it through just one more day?
Are these hard times here to stay?

Stuck in my own mind
Can't see the other side
And the future is frozen
Like the frog in a boiling pot
Can't seem to connect the dots
And all the borders are closing

You say it'll be okay, but I don't believe it
You tell me all you need is love, but I can't receive it
I'm just trying to find the words to say
Can you help me make it through just one more day?
Are these hard times here to stay?

My mind tries to catastrophize
I got the sweats and the shakes and the bloodshot eyes I got a stomach swimming with butterflies
I got a head full of tricks and lies

I try to board it up
Try to ignore it, but
I just get so tired
Maybe it's time to say
Gotta debt that I'm due to pay
It's just the way that I'm wired

You say it'll be okay, but I don't believe it
You tell me all you need is love, but I can't receive it
I'm just trying to find the words to say
Can you help me make it through just one more day?
Are these hard times here to stay?
Are these hard times here to stay?
Are these hard times here to stay?
Are these hard times here to stay?
Are these hard times here to stay?
Are these hard times here to stay?
Are these hard times here to stay?
These hard times are here

Whenever you're empty, I'll be your friend
Whenever you can't stand the pain, I'll make it end
Whenever they can't hear your voice, I'll make it sing
But I can't be your everything
You're feeling lost now, I'll show you the way
When you feel like checking out, I'll beg you to stay
Even if we don't have no kingdom, I'll still crown you the king
But I can't be your everything

You need someone to lie for you, someone to die for you
I'll take the blame for you, I'll feel the shame for you
I'll do the crime for you, I'll do the time for you
I'll take the losses for you, carry your crosses for you
I will be whatever you want 'cuz that's always been my way
But it gets a little harder every day

You want to go where no one can find you, I'll be your guide
In the rain, in the snow, in the darkest night, I'll never leave your side
I'll do anything to make you happy, no matter what life brings
But I can't be your everything

You need someone who's there for you, someone who cares for you
I'll cut the lines for you, I'll steal the signs for you
I'll break the glass for you, I'll kick some ass for you
I'll beat the bullies for you, I'd take a bullet for you
I will be whatever you want 'cuz that's always been my way
But it gets a little harder every day

Whenever you're empty, I'll be your friend
Whenever you can't stand the pain, I'll make it end
I will be whatever you want 'cuz that's always been my way
But it gets a little harder, and I'm not getting any smarter
I'm just a bigger martyr every day
