"You better know by now,"
she said
I made no effort to
defend myself against her claim
There wasn't anything to add
And so I blurted out
"I guess it's gonna rain today."
What a silly thing to put you through
I know better
Lost for words because I'm losing you
Didn't I promise you
I knew better
Hurry home before the sky
Breaks out
You can't predict
Things that happen all the time
Hurry back
Don't take my word
For it babe
I don't know
But I guess
It's gonna rain today
I don't know
But I guess
It's gonna rain today
She said to get the hell away
And left me standing
in the doorway
like a tired cliche
I thought I had it all pinned down
Now I'm the guy
who said,
"I guess it's gonna rain today."
Oh the fine line between
Street smartness
And a smart ass
Oh the skipping beats of confidence
And the drum roll
That you thought you could play
Hurry home before the sky
Breaks out
No point predicting
Things that happen all the time
Hurry back
Don't take my word
For it babe
I don't know
But I guess
It's gonna rain today
I don't know
But I guess
It's gonna rain today
But I'm sure that you've known this
All along
Oh, I'm sure that you've known this
All along
