lyrics

On the fourth of July, we would dance through the night
To the kick drum of the fireworks
Those were simpler days and in our innocent way
We faced life with a smirk
And that last summer was warm
And we were met with a swarm
Of city thunder motorcycles
Heralding a storm

Don’t be too hard on yourself
For drifting in the rain
Everybody goes off track
Every now and again

I ain’t on top of the world, but I keep up with it
The best that I know how
Unlike those winter afternoons, in our bedroom blues
Playing “Sheila Take a Bow”
But this time it’s you
Who needs that song sung to
Cuz you can slide off the road, but don’t stay out in the cold
And let the water cloud your view

Don’t be too hard on yourself
For drifting in the rain
Everybody goes off track
Every now and again
Shed off all of your baggage
You’re soaked to the skin
Get back in your stance, give yourself another chance
Take a deep breath and—

You can be more than you see right now
You will be more

Don’t be too hard on yourself
For drifting in the rain
Everybody goes off track
Every now and again
Shed off all of your baggage
You’re soaked to the skin
Get back in your stance, give yourself another chance
Take a deep breath and—
