I imagine it was like a goodbye.
Well if you need a backdoor I could show you,
The rain only comes true,
When it’s the worst thing you could do
Don’t hide your eyes,
It’s only exploding skies.
Just watch it all go by.
And it kept me occupied for some time.
My head was full of weather charts and false starts and heavy clouds.
Don’t hide your eyes,
It’s only exploding skies.
Just watch it all go by.
