lyrics - last year

last year
was the longest year of my life
it rained last year
and now it seems it hasn't rained for 5

in old recordings i hear the rain inside my voice
echoing its drops in empty rooms with windows that wont shut
tears i cried so much there's nothing left to cry
now theres just an artificial sky
just an artificial sky

life was simple
i was free
to find the darker side of me
i could have run away
but not this time
i just stood there in the rain

with my guitar slung over my left shoulder
i'd cry my songs in the dark with candles and with smoke
i was trying to say something i'd never felt before

i'm like a buzzy bug
attracted to the motion
when the music stops my heart stops
and im tryin to fly inside the candle

such a fine release
i feel much lighter now ive said my peice
thank god my head is aching now
its just the thing to keep me down
humble like the dust
or else id fly like up to the east
and you would miss me so and want to go
but we are both here on the ground

last year
was the longest year of my life
it rained last year
and now it seems it hasn't rained for 5

last year
was the longest year of my life
it rained last year
and now it seems it hasn't rained for 5

it rained last year
and now it seems it hasn't rained for 5

it rained last year
and now it seems it hasn't rained for 5
