Give me skies of black and blue
The way you make me feel
And give me skies of green and red
Cold winds that make it real
Storms are brewing deep within
Of hurt and loss and pride
It's good to see the world in pain
When I take a walk outside
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
When it rains some people get down
They're sporting a frown so I fit right in
Yeah, the sun may brighten your day
But if I had my way I'd take the rain
I don't care about politics
Or the hypocrites on my TV
I'm not mad at the girl who left
'Cause she couldn't be with me
So make up your theories
About the scandals and the lies
Start out depressed
Everything comes as a pleasant surprise
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
'Cause when it rains some people get down
They're sporting a frown so I fit right in
Yeah, the sun may brighten your day
But if I had my way I'd take the rain
When it rains I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
When it rains I don't mind being lonely
I cry right along with the sky
When it rains I don't pretend to be happy
I don't even have to try
'Cause when it rains some people get down
They're sporting a frown so I fit right in
Yeah, the sun may brighten your day
But if I had my way, I'd take the rain
