I Wish It Would Rain
Bella Hangnail
GENRE Waiting for the spring
'Cause the air is so damn dirty it chokes and it whispers out my lungs
Still try to keep my voice young
But I'll sit walled in drinking coffee and smoking
Til my muscles crack and my arms break off
And I wish you could drive me home
But you gave up with no ghost to show
When the rolling blackouts wind their way thru the prison towns at night
When your lover spends winter in a cage
When the poison ground behind our house kills the seeds before they take
All the same I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain on me and mine
I wish it would rain and wash this broken dirt
Waiting for the thaw
'cause my heart breaks loud in my ears at night
I just spot weld as I go
But I can't drive north while the roads closed
And none of you have been allowed to plant your roots deep enough
To save my sorry ass from the avalanche
And when the ground gave way on me
Somethin' about it made me feel like I was dreaming
When the rolling blackouts wind their way through the prison towns at night
When your lover spends winter in a cage
When I'm sick to death of whispering halfhearted and bitter prayers
All the same I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain on all the junk that we abandoned by the side of the road
I wish it would rain and drip thru my dirty clothes
'Cause the air is so damn dirty it chokes and it whispers out my lungs
Still try to keep my voice young
But I'll sit walled in drinking coffee and smoking
Til my muscles crack and my arms break off
And I wish you could drive me home
But you gave up with no ghost to show
When the rolling blackouts wind their way thru the prison towns at night
When your lover spends winter in a cage
When the poison ground behind our house kills the seeds before they take
All the same I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain on me and mine
I wish it would rain and wash this broken dirt
Waiting for the thaw
'cause my heart breaks loud in my ears at night
I just spot weld as I go
But I can't drive north while the roads closed
And none of you have been allowed to plant your roots deep enough
To save my sorry ass from the avalanche
And when the ground gave way on me
Somethin' about it made me feel like I was dreaming
When the rolling blackouts wind their way through the prison towns at night
When your lover spends winter in a cage
When I'm sick to death of whispering halfhearted and bitter prayers
All the same I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain on all the junk that we abandoned by the side of the road
I wish it would rain and drip thru my dirty clothes
