about

This song is about an angel coming down out of the sky to tell me to stfu and stop being so whiny. True story. The rain's just water, baby.

lyrics

STOP RIGHT NOW

you were you were
the rank and file
and I and I
went sailing through the night
on willow wings wove tight
son, my son, I know you feel confined
I know this body
is holding you behind
and waving flags of white
but listen to your heart as it
plays and listen to it when it says
it says I LOVE YOU
every protein chain says i love you
every ribosome says i love you
every red blood cell says i love you
every nucleus says i love you
they’re all talking to you
they’re talking to you

so don’t you dare back away
don’t you dare make it grey when it’s not
the rain’s just water
oh the rain’s just water
i said the rain’s just water
just water, baby
