1st Verse: With Riff 1 (4x)
"I wipe the night from my eyes
Block out that sunny day and I hide
And everything's falling down around us
I'm just missing the rain
And I'm happier now today
Don't let me down, don't let me go
A change of seasons inside her mind
In time I'll decide, in time I'll decide to move on"
Pre-Chorus: Riff 2

We'll paste it back together
These ripped out pages of old coloring books where your
Gold is silver, my blue is gray
It's all held together by cellophane tape but we"
