The Girl From The Liquor Store

Rain, rain, won't you stay

I never really cared for when the skies were blue

I'd rather have you than snow today

Oh, rain, rain, won't you stay

I never really cared for when the skies were blue

I'd rather have you than snow today

My turn signal blinks when I turn left or right

Almost in sync with my flashin' engine light

It could be worse, I could be cursed

To steerin' old habits rollin' on stolen bikes

To be workin' with an organ with less than golden pipes

To be headed nowhere with a head full of hopeful hype

I'm not the man you'd settle for

Who could only maintain a crush on the girl from the liquor store

For rich or poor, hittin' the deck or jumpin' over board

We sadly volunteer for the happy in-between

And I've been floatin' off the course and haven't seen the shore

Ever since I cut the anchor and decided this was me

So spill, did you choose- is this you?

Beautiful and uptight tryin' to keep grad school cool?

Payin' off the debt behind a desk slangin' booze

Waitin' on someday, mmm

Frozen just before closin'

I couldn't help but notice

You gave a small smile

Knowin' tonight might be different

Than bright lights and liquor

Ya look out the window and sigh

Rain, rain, won't you stay

I never really cared for when the skies were blue

I'd rather have you than snow today

Oh, rain, rain, won't you stay

I never really cared for when the skies were blue

I'd rather have you than snow today

I have dreams, but I wake up on a couch

Or in my car, or the floor of someone else's house

It could be worse, I could be cursed

Sleepin' on cardboard, laughin' at the clouds

This tough lover's crush ain't the slightest odd

It's an invite to spray paint the town when you get off your job

So, before you buckle underneath your hopes to keep'em up

Find a black dress, the night is lookin' mighty Neil Young

Meet me on the corner at the center of the city

Where tomorrow ain't a promise and it's only good as iffy

We'll show the buildings and graffiti what they're missin'

And give'em a little bit'a the venom and good heavens

Since "I like you" hasn't been enough

Here's a full heart, gold coin and a one-up

Where I'm from, goin' vulnerable is playin' smart

Lights out, let's give this thing a jumpstart

Frozen just before closin'

I couldn't help but notice

You gave a small smile

Knowin' tonight might be different

Than bright lights and liquor

Ya look out the window and sigh

You're tired of the same

Well, right on, right on, right on, right on, right on

You're tired of the same

Well, right on, right on, right on, right on, right on

I could be your change

Right on, right on, right on, right on, right on

I could be your change

Frozen just before closin'

I couldn't help but notice

You gave a small smile

Knowin' tonight might be different

Than bright lights and liquor

Ya look out the window and sigh

Rain, rain, won't you stay

I never really cared for when the skies were blue

I'd rather have you than snow today

Oh, rain, rain, won't you stay

I never really cared for when the skies were blue

I'd rather have you than snow today
