lyrics

It should be raining, but it isn’t
It should be raining, but it isn’t
The sky was grey this morning
The wind was up this morning,
Guess they lied

We should have been there, but we weren’t
We should have been there, but we weren’t
No time to cut and run
No time to cut and run
Come outside

We wheeled our bicycles along your great uncle’s orchard road
We carved our names—Is it cruel to carve our names into the stone?

I haven’t seen you, so come meet me at the bottom of the Baltic Sea
Where nobody can see our strange rebellion
I can’t promise you rainfall, but I can promise you weather
So I guess you’ll stay in love, and I guess I’ll just stay insane

Looks like you’re leaving, so come pack up your umbrella
Just in case you travel somewhere where the clouds are more obliging
I won’t try and stop you, I just wish that you would leave me
In the morning, not before

It should be raining, but it isn’t
It should be raining, but it isn’t
So we run on down the streets
You know those muddy cobbled streets
The sun and me

I should’ve written, but I haven’t
I should’ve written, but I haven’t
I got your empty postcard
Just one blank picture postcard
From the sea
