Lyrics

Sidewalk's flooding, if I made a paper boat
I could carry it down, set it afloat
Push it out to the middle of the lake
Let it sit on its own, pray it don't sink

I know some people don't know how to begin
They go out in the rain and get soaked to the skin
In the city, when it rains, it pours
Better wrap up tight when you walk out the door

I try to steady myself when I can
But you're just like the rain
You slip right out of my hands
I keep wondering when will I learn
Splashing in puddles is the least of my concerns
Splashing in puddles

I can tell you it's not seasonal here
Sometimes it seems like it keeps raining all year
Black umbrella and a red raincoat
Might keep you dry but won't keep you afloat

I know some people make a habit of
Holding on too tight, but enough is enough
In the city, no escape I know
When it rains you've no choice
You just have to let go

I try to steady myself when I can
But you're just like the rain
You slip right out of my hands
I keep wondering when will I learn
Splashing in puddles is the least of my concerns
Splashing in puddles

Walk the hills and you might see what I mean
In a curtain of rain, people move through their dreams
Though it feels like there's nothing to say
We're all holding on in different ways

I know some people let their souls float out
All the rain in the world in the words from their mouth
In the city, little shelter can be found
No matter where you stand, the rain keeps pouring down

I try to steady myself when I can
But you're just like the rain
You slip right out of my hands
I keep wondering when will I learn
Splashing in puddles is the least of my concerns
Splashing in puddles is the least of my concerns
