[Verse 1] Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottom Throw a lot of pennies in a well that done run dry Light up and smoke 'em if you have 'em, but you just ain't got 'em Yeah ain't we always looking for a bluer sky [Hook 1] If you're ever gonna find a silver lining It's gotta be a cloudy day It's gotta be a cloudy day If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning You're gonna have to stand in the rain You're gonna have to stand in the rain Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo [Verse 2] If lemonade keeps turning into lemons And you wear your heart on a ripped, unraveled sleeve Been run through the wringer and pushed on to your limit Say you're just unlucky, but luck ain't what you need [Hook 2] Cause if you're ever gonna find a four-leaf clover
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands And if you wanna find a head that fits your shoulder You're gonna have to go to the dance You're gonna have to go to the dance [Bridge] If you wanna find the honey You can't be scared of the bees And if you wanna see the forest You're gonna have to look past the trees [Hook 1] If you're ever gonna find a silver lining It's gotta be a cloudy day It's gotta be a cloudy day If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning You're gonna have to stand in the rain You're gonna have to stand in the rain Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo hoo hoooo Hoo, hoo, hoo
