Begging For Rain

Two, three

The more you wait, the more you break

The longer that it takes to undo

All the knots that you've been tying

On cherry stems and black barbed wire, too

You work all day to find religion

And end up standing in your kitchen

Wondering 'bout the way it's always been

I'm a firefighter and I can't stop it

They fan the flames higher than rockets

And leave you standing on an open plane

Begging for rain

Oh, begging for rain

I feel it all and I can't stop it

Wish that I could turn my faucet loose

On all my friends who keep on calling

Like nothing's wrong and asking me what's new

I try my best to not be bitter

And give my rage a babysitter

Stop waiting for the adults to come home

It's a firework and you can't stop it

I'm cutting holes in all the pockets

Of everyone that's calling me insane

Oh, waiting for rain

Oh, begging for rain

I keep waiting

I keep waiting

I keep waiting
