From the recording Couldn't Be Anything Else
Lyrics
expectations
we all have them
and the elations
everyone tries to hold
but we don't own them
listen to the rain
falling
ever so
softly
must be beautiful
to be eternal, effortlessly
wanna be a raindrop
wanna be the storm
want to have power
want to belong
another sunny day
but not for me
like a kitten
stuck in a tree
body frozen
in fear
before you realize
waste another year
and they sing
happy birthday
all smiles shining on me
the candles dance
like a natural ballet
everyone wants me
to blow them out
I want them to stay
make a wish they yell
wanna be the raindrops
wanna be the storm
wanna be somewhere else
where I belong
storm moves on
everyone is happy
cept me
want to leave
with the storm
wanna be a raindrop
falling far from here
I toast you.. while you
raise a glass ..toasting me
a high light of my life
supposed to be
heartfelt yet meaningless
counting years with beers
and imaginary friends
who cant see my tears
wanna be a raindrop
wanna be a storm
smiling on the outside
wondering if the rain
will ever stop
falling on me
