When It Rains It Pours

This is a song that I wrote about just what title says – how when it rains it pours. It is a song about how everything can be one way for the longest time, but in the blink of an eye everything changes. Further, it is about how once we enter this new place we can go back and forth, spinning around endlessly, wondering if it will ever stop. The rhythmic change in the chorus is meant to take the listener to another place from the verses where everything is different. Enjoy.

Lyrics

When It Rains It Pours — Christian Tookes

Choose a weapon and grasp it tight.
A fury is approaching.
Hold it steady. Prepare to fight.
Loss of love, and a loss of light
The darkness is enclosing
Here I linger out of sight

When it rains, it pours.
Now I know that for sure
When it rains, it pours

I’m far from where I want to be
Yet closer than I need to see
You’re hot. You’re cold. Confusing me
You say you’ll stay, yet then you flee.
You give no warning, Just break free
You’re hot. You’re cold. Confusing me.

Tides move as time runs out
Planes fly up, crash down
Life it circles around and around
My heart can only beat so loud

I’m far from where I want to be
Yet closer than I need to see
You’re hot. You’re cold. Confusing me
You say you’ll stay, yet then you flee.
You give no warning, Just break free
You’re hot. You’re cold. Confusing me.

I know right where I want to be
I know right where I have to be
You’re hot. You’re cold. Confusing me.
You can’t stand the sight of me
You whisper you’re in love with me
You’re hot you’re cold confusing me

Stop playing with me
And leave me be
Or come to me
Forgive me, please
So come to me
Stop playing with me

You’re hot. You’re cold, confusing me.
You can’t stand the sight of me
You whisper you’re in love with me
You’re hot you’re cold confusing me
