The Juliana Theory-The Rainy Day Song(Duane Joseph)



tell your mom you need a day off

so we can play out in the rain

we'll catch a ride to the mall,

go down to the arcade

cause that's where all the cool kids hang



tell your mom you need a day off

cause i don't feel like school today

we'll ride our boards down the hill

and to the playground

where everything's ok



tell your mom that we'llbe home late

cause building cabins in the woods is hard work



you always know that i'll be there

cause summer time is coming near

my closest friend

you'll always be

you are a hometown kid like me



tell your mom to make us lunch now

cause we worked up an appetite

g.i. joes and karate matches in the backyard

where everything's all right



now i can see that things have changed

we've gone our separate ways now

and it's not you and me anymore,

it's not you and me

why can't it be the way it was

when pain was only plastic guns



my closest friend

i couldn't say

you are a million miles away

i guess i'll hold my breath

there is no harm in hoping for change.
