I said "the way it works is you fall apart" She dances in the rain... Quality over quantity... Is the very thought that is haunting me You're the type worth the time Though you seem hyper most the time, You just wanna relax this one time Stress free from your mind. Well, I'll keep that in my mind It'll sit beside the heap in my mind. That same heap, That binds my chest with a pain so rugged that inside I weep That same pain that binds me from the sleep -- I just attempted -- To relive the same dream that last night I dreamt of, Of you next to me, instead of- I sit up alone at night Sit up alone feeling an awful tight pain in my chest ...that I'm trying to suppress I said "the way it works is you fall apart" She dances in the rain I said "the way it works is you fall apart when you look at her" (Yeah) She dances in the rain And I'd like to say "keep me away", But am I wrong? And as you sleep miles away into your dreams Beautiful as your life seems I'm sure there are things That similarly haunt your dreams These same themes You wish you could share with someone who really cares, Someone who isn't scared To treat you like a queen... I said "to treat you like a queen!" And take you to a place that you've never been By surfing every wave of your cerebral cortex to the tide Not for any means, just simply for the ride. And I hope that I stare so deep into the sea that is your eyes, That I infiltrate your mind, and then collide with the same words, Those same surfing thoughts that you thought I'd ignore just to dismiss the pain But, this one's worth it... She's got a brain I said "the way it works is you fall apart" She dances in the rain I said "the way it works is you fall apart when you look at her" (Yeah) She dances in the rain And I'd like to say "keep me away" I said "the way it works is you fall apart" She dances in the rain, but won't see her dance again 'Cause she's come and gone
