I stand out breaking in the Portland rain
|
I see the end there in your eyes as I watch you drive away
|
|
I walk back blind into my cold dreamhouse
|
And I think about the damage
|
I put the big light out
|
|
I sit down smoking on my basement floor
|
I hear footsteps up above me
|
They are right outside my front door
|
|
The only place that I want to be
|
Is watching you move up on top of me
|
The only sound that I want to hear
|
Is the rain against my window as you whisper in my ear
|
|
Baby, you know I love it when you call me baby
|
|
I go upstairs and find my twelve-year-old
|
She's got tears running down her face
|
Sitting sad at my piano
|
|
She sings soft words from that old Beatles song
|
And I think about my yesterday and all the things I did wrong
|
|
The only place that I want to be
|
Is watching you sweet dream in bed right next to me
|
|
The only sound that I want to hear
|
Is the rain against my window as I pull you near
|
|
Don't give up on me
|
Baby, can't you you see?
|
We could make this be the way it used to be
|
|
Don't give up on me
|
I wish I could make you see
|
That I am changing everyday, trying to build a better me
|
|
We could make this be the way it's supposed to be
|
Don't give up on me
|
|
I stand out in the rain where I watched you drive away
|
I never thought I would live to see
|
this fucked-up day
|
|
I stand out in the rain in the middle of the night
|
I wish that it could wash away the beast inside
|
|
The only thing I want to do is kiss you when I am coming deep inside of you
|
|
The only sound that I want to hear
|
Is the rain against my window as I hold you
|
|
Don't give up on me
|
Oh baby, can't you see?
|
We could make this be the way it used to be
|
|
Don't give up on me
|
I wish I could make you see that I am changing everyday
|
Trying to build a better me
|
|
We could make this be the way it's supposed to be
|
Don't give up on me
|
