If life is just an ocean, with people in and out like the tide
Then why can't I just drift along a gentle wave and smile
If life is just a tapestry and heartache just a square in its weave
Then why can't I just hang it up, praise the winding patterns, and heal
Some words sound better in the rain
Sometimes it hurts to hear my name
If life is just a journey with a reason for each stop along the way
Then why can't I just leave you behind and welcome the new day
If life is just a lesson to be filed away like two and two
Then why can't I just close the book on you
Some words sound better in the rain
Sometimes it hurts to hear my name
Once I was offered the Eiffel Tower by a Romeo on his knees
But what good is the Eiffel Tower once that Romeo leaves
Once I was offered a taste of pa**ion by a Romeo in the rain
But what good is that taste of pa**ion when it comes with a measure of pain
Some words sound better in the rain
Sometimes it hurts to hear my name
If life is just a yellow brick road with a rainbow at the end
Then why can't I just close my eyes
And why can't I just click my heels and hold my breath and mend
Some words sound better in the rain
Sometimes it hurts to hear my name
