Does it rain like it rains here on 5th street?

Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with

This roof I've raised over my head

Does time fly like it does here on the 2nd floor?

Five ways to go but only one place to be

If only I could get there from here

If only I could get there today

If only I could get there today



Wish it was simple like a train

Ride behind windows, invisible

While towns pass like sand through fingers



Wish it was simple like color

Flashes in the soul

Like telephones connected to imaginary friends

You might not know how it gets

You might not know how it gets

You might not know



And if it was simple like a smile

On paper plate faces instead of pages

Of songs with no words



Does it rain like it does here on 5th street?

Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with

This roof I've raised over my head

If only I could get out of here today

Wish I could get out of here today

If only I could get out of here today
