Remember in September...
You spoke of a dream
To escape this hot state
...By any reason or mean
You said that you burned
From the slightest exposure
To the slightest degree
Like white bread in a toaster
I laughed at the time
Until you confessed
You slept with rain tracks
Playing through a headset
Now I'm here in my car
As the rain drips by
Thinking this is your song
Your sweet lullaby
You know...
We could run away
From the sun and this city
To find a home in Seattle
To find a life much more pretty
Where the weather is better
Because the sun never shines
But I couldn't care less
With your light at my side
We'd let the rain be our song
We'd let our dreams come true
You'd have everything you need
And I would have you
You'd never burn
You'd be safe from the sun
We could forget California
Once our new lives begun
But...you know...
As I look up to the rain
I know the sun's behind the clouds
Just how far could we run
before it finds us in the crowd?
Now I listen to the rain
I think about you
I think about running away
To do the things we could do
But now the sun's coming out
Soon you'll turn to ashes
The rain will dissolve
And with it my passion
I find myself lost
In another dreamy day
Well...
...this dream wasn't very realistic anyway.
