Story Behind the Song
This song was written when Kevin was deeply depressed, during the summer of 2001. He was in his room during a rain storm, looked out his window and saw children laughing and playing down the street in puddles. He couldn't understand how they could be so happy at the same time he wished to be dead.
Lyrics
It's been over for far too long for me to,
try to reconcile,
how much further must I have to go on before I,
can run along with a smile,
I see happy people playing in the rain,
when all I can do is wonder,
from a window perched on a hill how,
did I fall so far under
Walking down the street,
reliving all the memories I,
guess I know how to suffer,
as life's tide persists to pull me under
You, won't be the one I run to anymore
won't be the one I run to anyone
who wants to, can you find me, I invite you
Its thundering in the distance
the rain has just begun to fall I,
stand out and feel happy,
but why be happy when I've lost it all.
