Story Behind The Song

(Jason - Alterstate guitarist) This song came about when I was sitting up late one winter's night and it started to rain. I said to myself, "Hey, it doesn't rain this time of year" and the rest of the song just seemed to flow out.

Song Description

A melodic rock song with a great opening line, 'It doesn't rain this time of year'. The percussive style of drumming, and overall instrumentation, build up to the big chorus release. It's about a guy who's pretty sick of his situation, and if one more thing goes wrong he's going to start fresh somewhere else and "leave it all behind" - all but one.

Lyrics

IT DOESN'T RAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR,
AND IF IT DID I'D BE OUTTA HERE BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND
I'D LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND, AND IF YOU CAME ALONG THIS TIME
I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND, I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND

I HAVE ONLY LOVE FOR YOU - YEAH
ALL MY PROMISES COME TRUE - YEAH
IF YOU'RE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING AND MORE

YOU SAY YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL
I'LL TELL YOU HOW I FEEL
IF YOU COULD SEE THIS HEART OF MINE,
I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND, I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND

I HAVE ONLY LOVE FOR YOU - YEAH
ALL MY PROMISES COME TRUE - YEAH
IF YOU'RE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING AND MORE

I ASK YOU WHAT YOU'RE WAITING FOR,
'COS WHEN YOU'RE HERE WITH ME, IT'S AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE
SO GO AHEAD AND READ MY RHYME,
I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND, I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND

I HAVE ONLY LOVE FOR YOU - YEAH
ALL MY PROMISES COME TRUE - YEAH
IF YOU'RE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING AND MORE

IT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU - EVERYTHING AND MORE

IT DOESN'T RAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR,
AND IF IT DID I'D BE OUTTA HERE BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND
I'D LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND, AND IF YOU CAME ALONG THIS TIME
I THINK THAT YOU MIGHT FIND
