I'll Stop The Rain

Screeching Weasel · Teen Punks In Heat [2000]

are you waiting out ther for me?

do you have a little hope still?

well, i haven't given up yet.

i still feel like i can change the world and start

with me and you. i can make the sun come out at will.

i can make the rain stop. i can wipe away your tears

now and i can make you smile,

i'm not lying to myself now.

things are really getting better.

it just takes a little faith,

so i'm diving in head first,

eyes open now and i feel like i can make the sun come

out at will. i can make the rain stop.

i can wipe away your tears now and i can make you smile.

i feel like i can make the sun come out at will.

i can make the rain stop. i can wipe away your tears

now and i can make you smile.

i know that i can make the sun come out at will or

i can make the rain fall. i can start or stop the tears

now and we can cry or we can try a little smile.

and i know that i can make the sun come out at will

and i can bring the rain on.

rain that'll wash away your tears now.

and if you try i can make you smile. i know now.
