Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams There stood a house and a man who painted nature scenes He painted trees and fields and animals and streams And he stayed, and he didn't hear the fallin' of the rain Ah-ha, no, he didn't hear the falling of the rain In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids And she sang as she walked all about the wooded glades She was glad when the rain came falling on her face And she sang 'cause she did not mind the fallin' of the rain Ah-ah, no, she didn't mind the falling of the rain Will it always be the same as we recall? Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? Ah, but I don't want to know, and I don't want to see Another rainy day without you lying next to me, ah High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd Is a boy with his eyes on the ground, his head is bowed He is a fool and his mind is filled with hopeless dreams And he waits, but he will not see the fallin' of the rain Ah-ah, no, he will not see the falling of the rain Will it always be the same as we recall? Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? Ah, but I don't want to know, and I don't want to see Another rainy day without you lying next to me, ah So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away And it seems that time has brought things to an end Nothing's changed, 'cause you can't stop the falling of the rain Ah-ah, no, you can't stop the falling of the rain

This sounds kinda strange, I thought I saw you at a party but I finally got close, it wasn't you I know we don't talk right now But if I saw you, I'd sit down And ask about your afternoon You made it clear that it's over now But you're all that I think about So now I don't know what the hell to do 'Cause I've got a soft spot I've got it for you It for you We used to lie in bed and talk For hours about everything And anything you said you wanted to Pull the covers over our short hair Pretend like the city wasn't there Like it was only just us two You told me that it's over now But I can't help that I think about All the things that we used to do 'Cause I've got a soft spot I've got it for you It for you I wish I left all my things at your place so I could come get them We'd do things we might regret And say that we could make exceptions I just can't take the rejection Maybe I'm just second-guessing 'Cause I've got a soft spot I've got it for you It for you It for you It for you It for you

Call your phone, you never answer Missing out on endless banter You've never been that good at small talk But I'd love to chat your ear off Do you ever go west? I'm talking past Texas Like California I'd love to take you there Cuff up your jeans (now we're getting close, now we're getting close) And borrow the means (now we're getting close, now we're getting close) Hop on the train (now we're getting close, now we're getting close) To get close to me (getting close, now we're getting-) You get close to me When are you goin' back to college? Remember how my dorm was haunted? Smoking in the cemetery Getting older's getting scary In August, you'll go north I'm still in Northbrook Court And maybe one day I'll get to take you here Cuff up your jeans And borrow the means Hop on the train To get close to me You get close to me Now we're getting close, now we're getting close Now we're getting close, now we're getting close Now we're getting close, now we're getting close Getting close, now we're getting-
