lyrics

An upside down umbrella doesn’t do me any good.
I’m catchin’ all these drops and turnin’ them into a flood.
I tried to steal the sunshine but the rays misunderstood
So I’ll keep collectin’ drops just like I said I always would.

My mother tied her hair back every Sunday
To make coffee and hot pancakes in the mornin’
I know I’ll walk and talk just like her one day
And whisper to the kids a simple warnin’

I try to stay dry
But the water finds its way
Back to my soul
And floods my bones
The stars crash and collide
Burning inside

Things are turning up roses and I don’t know why
The ground it sounds oh so forlorn
I look up to smell the flowers because petals don’t lie
But as soon as I look down I find the thorn

I try to stay dry
But the water finds its way
Back to my soul
And floods my bones
The stars crash and collide
Burning inside

I see new clouds formin’
The window yells its warnin’
Keep your shelter by your side
We’ll stay alive
