I Hope It Rains (Radio Edit)

If apologies were bullets, you were always firing blanks

Meteorology was foolish, prepared to sail, instead I sank

And now cloud-seeding missiles couldn’t brighten up my day

And as you walk away, the bitterness inside me wants to say

I hope it rains

I hope it rains

I hope it rains and the steady ground on which you stand turns to rough terrain

I hope it rains and you find yourself staring into the eye of the hurricane

And you’ll remember I was your sunshine and you lost all you stood to gain

I hope it rains

Heed the warnings of the early morning weather reports

Whether or not you know their context

‘Cause when cumulonimbus clouds all gather, you will witness crowds

All scatter like they know what’s coming next

Break the silence and sound the sirens, I’m glad you say I can’t stay

Because from what I’ve heard, a storm is on the way

I hope it rains and the steady ground on which you stand turns to rough terrain

I hope it rains and you find yourself staring into the eye of the hurricane

And you’ll remember I was your sunshine and you lost all you stood to gain

I hope it rains

Have you ever danced in a hailstorm?

It’s one of the biggest thrills I’ve ever known

If conditions aren’t right and it won’t form

I am without sin, I’ll cast the first stone

I hope it rains

Get ready for floods and get ready for thunder

And prepare yourself for temperatures in negative numbers

‘Cause the winds are a-changing, this Indian summer

Will turn into a monsoon, hope you remembered your umbr-ella

It’s hell on earth, best be jealous of my elevation

I’m catching rays while your weather vane’s under heavy rotation

And if you’re thinking it’s cloudy, here’s some clarification

It’s not the victory, it’s the precipitation

I hope it rains and the steady ground on which you stand turns to rough terrain

I hope it rains and you find yourself staring into the eye of the hurricane

And you’ll remember I was your sunshine and you lost all you stood to gain

I hope it rains

I hope it rains

I hope it rains

I hope it rains and the steady ground on which you stand turns to rough terrain

I hope it rains and you find yourself staring into the eye of the hurricane

And as the sunset leaves just darkness then I hope that it will sustain

And I hope it reigns

And I hope it rains

I hope it rains
