Levi The Poet - Rainy Weather lyrics

I love this rainy weather it fills up my
Hollow bones just right i love this
Rainy weather the dripping sings me to sleep
When I can't sleep at night
I love this rainy weather it fills up
My hollow bones just right i love
This rainy weather I wish I could cry
The way I see God cry

CHRIST! the last time I saw
You cry was Tuesday
Of last week, and I wasn't sure why
But the skies just kind of opened
Up and I sat there beneath it
In a puddle of mud next
To the memory of my favorite
Swing set, as a kid, and wondered if it was
My fault that you were sad that day
And I wondered what I did jesus
The last time I saw you cry was in a dream I
Had late last night, and I held


You tight against my bosom, and
You wept until I was drenched and
I said, "I'm so sorry
God! I'll never do that again!"

But the other day I met a
Girl who talked about love
Like she actually believed it was
Real this child and I, we
Shared brief conversation about a few things
That we thought we could
Feel "Well, I don't mean to
Shatter your naiveté, darling
But you've so much yet to
See, little girl" And she shook her
Head and smiled like I
Was the one that was the child - she said
"Mister! Open up your
Eyes and I will show you the world!" I say
"People talk a
Whole lot about having a vice
Well I've got three: insecurity
Depression, and this growing anxiety"
She said, "Look, i don't mean to
Cut you off at the seams
Or one-up you or anything, but
I drank way too much soda-pop as a child
And now I'm
Addicted to caffeine hehe i mean
No, no, mister! I mean, you know that's not
What I mean! I mean
At least you maintained your honesty!"
"Little girl! You don't even
Know what I mean!" But the
Blind were born blind
So that one day they could see
And unless you become as a
Child: unless you become like me
You're making excuses for yourself
Levi! You're holding onto reasons
To stay angry!

So what did I used to write about in
Sixth grade when I sat against that fence
And watched the world slip away? how me and
My imaginary girl sat beneath that weeping
Willow tree and watched God's
Teardrops drip from the
Branches reaching out to me till we
Were anything but lonely i love this rainy
Weather, it reminds me of being younger
Back when I didn't worry but I
Worry more than ever now
(and I can't stop pacing these hallways)

And my biggest secret is that I
Don't have any secrets left
And I'd like at least one to hold onto so
That I can still seem sexy and mysterious
To you i WANT TO BE EXCITED ABOUT CONCERTS
AGAIN! I want to beg and scrape
For the nickels and dimes and tell my parents
That I'm gonna be fine and no I'm
Not gonna jump in the pit when everyone
Knows I'M GONNA JUMP IN THE PIT!
(And no, mom
There is nothing violent about The Chariot)

But next to the memory of my
Favorite swing set as a
Kid is a ghost of me, sitting next to me
Wondering what he did
And as he lets the sand
Filter through his hands, it clumps in
The puddle of tears he's sitting in
And we whisper in unison
"God I must've bummed you out again"
I love this rainy weather
It reminds me of so many
Beautiful memories, and just like
You said to me, "The
Times that I cry are the
Times that I feel the
Most so if I find another secret to hide
You will never know i want to feel like I
Can't maintain control and if I let it all
Out I'm gonna have to bear my soul all
I want is a hand to hold onto" (no, no)

"all i want is for you to
Heal my dad's back! why is
That so hard for you to do!"
I hate this rainy weather!
(it reminds me of being a kid when I
Would trust without question)
And aren't there
So many questions? Why are there so many
Questions? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
