Lyrics
[verse]
Pour the grey right over the town
Pour the grey right over the town
I've been waiting for the sky to break
So I can finally shake off this ache
[verse]
Give me thunder, give me the storm to hide inside
Something bigger than the noise in my mind
Sunny days just make my sadness show
So bring the clouds down slow
[chorus]
I'm only happy when the rain comes down
Only alive when the sky turns brown
Pour it thicker, pour it deep
That's the only weather I can keep
[verse]
Everybody wants me smiling in the light
I'd rather sit here soaked and out of sight
There's a kind of peace in a downpour storm
A comfort that the sunshine's never worn
[chorus]
I'm only happy when the rain comes down
Only alive when the sky turns brown
Pour it thicker, pour it deep
That's the only weather I can keep
[bridge]
Maybe it's not sadness, maybe it's just true
The grey feels closer to the real me than the blue
Let the thunder roll and wash the surface clean
Underneath the storm is where I've always been
[chorus]
I'm only happy when the rain comes down
Only alive when the sky turns brown
Pour it thicker, pour it deep
That's the only weather I can keep
