(Verse 1)
One blink of an eye was the time it took to notice
I was drifting away from all the things I held the closest
And suddenly the world was so much colder than I'd known it before
Once upon a time there was a light shining brightly
Now I sit up in the dark without a shining light to guide me
I thought I didn't need it, now I know that I was lying

(Chorus)
It rains at day, it pours at night
And I can't get a release
The words I say, the words I write 
Could never find their way back to me
I could see a million golden lights all shining my way
And even so, I'd have nowhere to go
I'm forever caught in the rain 

(Verse 2)
I spend my days working out a way to be the loudest 
Just to spend the nights lying wide awake thinking about it
I let all of my troubles fill my head until it's crowded 
and full 
I try to make a stand, I try to put it all behind me

But every waking day I feel the world just rushing by me

When I gather up the courage and I finally start climbing, I fall


(Chorus)
It rains at day, it pours at night 
And I can't get a release 
The words I say, the words I write 
Will never find their way back to me
I could see a million golden lights all shining my way
And even so, I'd have nowhere to go 
I'm forever caught in the rain

(Verse 3)
When everything is shrouded by the turning of the times

Will there be any evidence of my life left behind

Or will I fade into the past where no one could ever find me again?
‘
After all these days of being lost in silent wonder

I’m getting tired rather tired of being caught up in the thunder

I’ll stay above the water no I won’t be going under today

(Chorus)
It rains at day, it pours at night 
And I can't get a release 
The words I say, the words I write 
Will never find their way back to me
I could see a million golden lights all shining my way
And even so, I'd have nowhere to go 
I'm forever caught in the rain
