it helps me if i just read the words to a song!! Here are the words.....I think its all up for individual interpretation!!



Flipped into the wind

Like the ashes of her cigarette

He got scattered thrown on the breeze

As he tried to forget

He lost all his heat

And his heart never will be the same

He got lighter than air

But he'll only come down in the rain



Strung out and hung out to dry

Laughin' under the line

It's not such a dignified place

But he really don't mind

He says with his feet on the ground

He'd have nothin' to say

Claims he likes it up there

And he'll only come down in the rain



[Chorus:]

Comin' down in the rain

Washin' outta the sky

Loaded down with the pain

There just ain't no way to fly

You can read him as clear

As the wall where he once wrote his name

It was right next to hers

But it'll only come down in the rain



Burnin' himself out on a limb

Like a leaf in the fall

He blazed for awhile

Now he's feelin' all dried up and small

The colors all gone

Disappeared, near as quick as it came

He says he can't stay up

But, he'll only come down in the rain



[Chorus]



You can read him as clear as the wall

Where he once wrote his name

It was right next to hers

But he'll only come down in the rain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa) Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried I tried to read between the lines I tried to look in your eyes I want a simple explanation For what I'm feeling inside I gotta find a way out Maybe there's a way out Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder, and I said Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors I don't wanna ever love another You'll always be my thunder So bring on the rain And bring on the thunder Today is a winding road Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa) Today I'm on my own I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know) And now I'm itching for the tall grass And longing for the breeze I need to step outside Just to see if I can breathe I gotta find a way out Maybe theres a way out Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder, and I said Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors I don't wanna ever love another You'll always be my thunder So bring on the rain Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope I'm wrapped up in vines I think we'll make it out But you just gotta give me time Strike me down with lightning Let me feel you in my veins I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go Whoa Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder, and I said Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors I don't wanna ever love another You'll always be my thunder So bring on the rain And bring on the thunder, and I said Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder So bring on the rain Oh baby bring on the pain And listen to the thunder
