Black clouds are looking darker
We bring the night to life
I hope you got your lighter
Spark the match and light
Somehow we all survived
Although they dimmed the lights
They try to knock my future down
The trees they tried to hide

They say I'm an optimist
Now look I topped the list
Approved but not to this
From negative to positive
Yeah, don't fight the planes
No parachutes, we let it rain
From the inn I brought my troops

Forecast to be gray again
Feels as if it never ends
Hide behind the door
Anymore
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant stop forming
May as well embrace
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way

Said id walk the last for long
Said I had one hit and wondered back my parted songs
Asking whats the label on
Had this came along
Why the hell designer writes
Told my A.N.R. he's okay but now the game is wrong

Now picture this
Now I've got his day miss
I've planned it all
To rule the black the mist
And now it's hours
Lite and waiting for hours
Full of basement to the rooftops
We just played the hours

Forecast to be gray again
Feels as if it never ends
Hide behind the door
Anymore
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant cant forming
May as well embrace
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
(you see the)
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant cant forming
May as well embrace

I'm stepping out tonight
There's a life would moan
(I hear it calling)
I'm afraid no more
(can't stop me falling)
Behind the gray there's light
(black clouds)
I'mma reach it by
(standing across)
At the end and I know
I'm gonna to be alright

You can keep it moving on
No time on dwelling on
They hum we sing along
We're gonna be alright
I know you see
Infact they all believe
Them cloud above me
I let it rain
Let it rain
You see the
Drip drop coming
Everybody give way
Cant cant forming
May as well embrace
Let it rain
You see the
Drip drop coming
