(1st Verse)

she says its cold outside and hands me her raincoat

she always worried about thing like that

she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault

and she only sleeps while it's raining

and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)

she says baby

i'ts 3am i must be lonely

when she says baby

well i cant help but be scared of it all sometimes

says the rain's gonna wash away i believe it

(2nd Verse)

she's got a little bit of something, god its better than nothing

and in her color portrait world she belives she's got it all

she swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to

and she only sleeps when it's raining

and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)

(3rd Verse)

she believes that life is made up of all that you're used to

and the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days

she thinks that happiness as mat that sits on her doorway

but outside it starts raining

(chorus)
