Story Behind the Song
was in a bad mood... listened to a sad song by Ryan Adams, thought "I can do that". wrote the song saturday evening, got up sunday morning and recorded the thing. lyrically, it's got more in common with the Budge song than I'm comfortable with, but what can you do?
Lyrics
it's dry, silent stars slip from the sky
she waits outside for first light
fixated on her fingers
faded, fragile, flickering out
I'll be honest about my obsession with drought
her eyes don't lie, they say it's all about...
it's all about rain, cries of pain
short bursts of flame, the search for fame
words that rhyme with your name
cliched nervous wreck, I say I will forget
she's right, I'm fine, I set her down
do you have any idea how hard it is to sing
when tears coat your throat
I'll be honest about my, my cares, my wories
her eyes don't lie, they say it's all about...
it's all about sin, try again and again
rotating friends, days that blend
trying not to break when you bend
I've a vague sense of minor setbacks
she aims to please I tease
piles up refuse, she never fights
the way she says she feels, it ain't right
I'll be honest about my obsession with drought
her eyes don't lie, they say it's all about...
it's all about three, achy knees
things you do for free, those you never leave
or every time that you flee
not enough I say
it's all about rain...
