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

(chorus)
she says baby
it´s 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can´t help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain´s gonna wash away I believe it

she´s got a little bit of something, God it´s better than nothing
and in her color portrait world she believes that 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)

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, and days
she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
but outside it´s stopped raining

(chorus)
