Lyrics
A thousand fingers falling from the sky
And the water is tapping on my roof
A thousand reasons why this we have is over with
Still, I want more proof
And I'm watering flowers in the monsoon
She said the rain won't hurt you if you're drowning
Because you're already wet
She said the rain won't hurt you if you're swimming out
To the sea of regret
It's 4 a.m., pour another pot of luck she said
Can't go on without it
It's forever, I will always carry bits of you
Don't you ever doubt it
And I'm watering flowers in the monsoon
She said the rain won't hurt you if you're drowning
Because you're already wet
She said the rain won't hurt you if you're swimming out
To the sea of regret
Bridge: I'll wait for the dry season
And hope that she comes around
I can't remember if I ever fell so quietly
From a place so high
But I can offer, got a little space inside of me
Where we can stay awhile
And I'm watering flowers in the monsoon
She said the rain won't hurt you if you're drowning
Because you're already wet
She said the rain won't hurt you if you're swimming out
To the sea of regret
