lyrics

Walking down the street on a summer's day
People inside, still afraid of the rain
Cause what's been before could come back again
Better to dream than to feel the pain

But they can read the future in a cup of tea, he said
"I can see everything and you can't see through me"
But I can see the cracks running through his beliefs
Standing on quicksand, afraid to flee

Lying in bed watching re-runs in my head
Of the past and all the things I prob'ly should have said
Plan out the future in elaborate schemes
Writing hopes on cardboard dreams

And so many of the things that I thought would be
Are scattered into dreams like entropy
Like rain. Like rain

CHORUS x2
You could be safe inside
Live out your life under clouded skies
But if I could fly
Build our wax wings for a moment of sunshine
Could die; well at least we tried
If they said it's not worth it they lied
And no-one can ask you to justify
Your heart

New dawn, older themes
Sailing ships of paper dreams
Back to the start; it's all the same
Like rain, it all evaporates again

And so many of the things that I thought would be
Are scattered into dreams like entropy
Like rain (like rain). Like rain

CHORUS
CHORUS (special -
They said it's not worth it. They lied
And don't you dare ask me to justify my heart)

CHORUS until "sunshine"
