(1st Verse)

she says its cold outside and hands me her raincoat she always worried about thing like that she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault and she only sleeps while it's raining and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)

she says baby i'ts 3am i must be lonely when she says baby well i cant help but be scared of it all sometimes says the rain's gonna wash away i believe it

(2nd Verse)

she's got a little bit of something, god its better than nothing and in her color portrait world she belives she's got it all she swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to and she only sleeps when it's raining and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)

(3rd Verse) she believes that life is made up of all that you're used to and the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days she thinks that happiness as mat that sits on her doorway but outside it starts raining

(chorus)
