My plans to quit
And I know I can but I know I will forget it
Stuck here, I need something quick
Jus' to stop me thinking
Always loud, always in
Jus' come in to me
Excuse me please, what have you got?
Get me out of my head while I've still got the courage
But not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off
The rain falls down, I'm not alone
Covers all of us in silver line, silver line
And all I beg you stay with me
Let it rain all night
What a gift, this short visit
And I know I'll go just as quick as I came in
Night stick, my finger tips
Jus' stop me thinking
Always out, always in
Oh jus' come in to me
Excuse me please what have you got
Get me out of my head while I've still got the courage
Not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off
And the rain fall down, I'm so alone
And covered all of us with silver line, in silver line
And all I beg you stay with me
Let it rain all night
I'm always out, always in
Jus' come in to me
Not so out, just out enough till I feel like I'm takin' off
And the rain falls down, I'm not alone
And covers all of us in silver line, in silver line
And all I beg you stay with me
Let it rain all night, oh oh
And the rain falls down, I'm not alone
It covers up in a silver line, in silver line
And all I beg you stay with me
Let it rain all night
