Watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
Watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
Your shot at fame, you let it pass
Your hopes and dreams are raised and dashed
You're feelin' numb, you hope it lasts
You watch the rain and it moves too fast
You get a job, you get some cash
You wanna fix your broken past
You're workin' hard, you're wearin' thin
You break yourself and you're here again
Watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
You're movin' slower and slower each day
Every second's a second of pain
When you're watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
You're back at work, you get your pay
You think this could be your big break
But you're havin' doubts, you're losin' faith
You're wearin' down, now you're watchin' the rain
Watchin' the rain
You're movin' slower and slower each day
Every second's a second of pain
When you're watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
The wind is blowin' your hopes away
Your life is vanishing every day
When you're watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
Yuh, uh
My dreams are like the rain, they fall from the sky
They hit the ground then evaporate and I don't know why
Uh, I'm tired of searchin' my soul, yeah
Up and down ten toes, yeah
I don't stay in one place no more
I go where the wind blows, yeah
So my heads in the clouds, no feet on the ground
I'm airborne, soundin' air horns, but nobody's hearin' me out
I guess I gotta be a little louder, gotta let it all out
These are the things that I think about when I'm
Watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
You're movin' slower and slower each day
Every second's a second of fame
When you're watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
The wind is blowin' your hopes away
Your life is vanishing every day
When you're watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
Watchin' the rain, watchin' the rain
