Is it a crime to find out that you're too late to be content?
How many times must you be told, "Be proud of what you're not"?
I'm not sitting here alone, I'm just sitting here by myself
There's nothing wrong with that
Somebody cried out to me and I listened to what was said
Give me shelter from the rain, give me anything but pain
I've had enough of sadness for awhile
When I don't understand my feelings
They start to lose their meaning
And I'm left sitting here, back against the wall
Let's go back to the big city, all the girls they look so pretty
But they don't smile when it rains
I'm a thunderstorm and I'm not kidding
That I don't understand at all
How to go about the day
Is it the time?
I'll ask myself every minute of the day
What if I wind up my clock or set it off
Or the ticking never stops?
Give me shelter from the rain, give me anything but pain
I've had enough of sadness for awhile
When I don't understand my feelings
They start to lose their meaning
And I'm left sitting here, back against the wall
Let's go back to the big city, all the girls they look so pretty
But they don't smile when it rains
I'm a thunderstorm and I'm not kidding
That I don't understand at all
How to go about the day
Won't let up until I see one more sunrise over me...
Let's go back to the big city, all the girls they look so pretty
But they don't smile when it rains
I'm a thunderstorm and I'm not kidding
That I don't understand at all
How to go about the day
