Lyrics
No one said that life is always sunny
With no storm before the calm
There's just no way that it ain't gonna hurt
When someone drops a bomb
There's some pretty heavy headlines in the paper
Scary stories on TV
Yeah there's so much drama in our world
It hits a bit too close to home for me
CH: I wanna keep you safe from harm
So many things can change
And I wanna find you in my arms
Right before the rain, right before the rain
There's no free lunch at the diner
No free ride on the bus
And it's tough to be friends with one of them
When you talk like one of us
I don't know if there will ever be solutions
To the problems that we face
You just show the world what's in your heart
I know you will never fall from grace
CHORUS
All the homicides and shattered lives
Can't possibly be justified
Not even in some crazy cosmic way
But through the grief I do believe
The sight of you will bring relief
That you and I will see a brighter day, yeah yeah
CH: I wanna keep you safe from harm
So many things can change
I wanna be right where you are
And shield you from the strain
How can I keep you safe from harm
When so many things can change?
And I wanna find you in my arms
Right before the rain, right before the rain
