When we were younger and the real world was just pretend
We'd sit up on the rooftops and watch the skylines change
Like nothing ever mattered, 'cause nothing ever did
I was so much happier when I was just a kid

I was trying to grow up, maybe way too fast
But if I could go back, I'd cling to that past
'Cause this world will break you down, there's nothing you can do
And when I see the skylines, it reminds me of you

The rain, it haunts me today
You know I haven't seen the sun for almost three whole days
And the clouds, my god, they look so safe
If I could rest my head on one, maybe I could find a way

We'd hang around and stay up late
Run about in the pouring rain
Maybe I'd be safer in the clouds
Maybe I'd be safer in the clouds

We'd chase the stars 'til the morning light
Dreaming big while the world was quiet
Every moment felt so infinite and free
But now those dreams are just memories haunting me

We'd talk about our future like it was ours to claim
Never thought we'd drift apart, never thought we'd change
But life had other plans, took us down different roads
And now I'm left with echoes of the stories we once told

The rain, it haunts me today
You know I haven't seen the sun for almost three whole days
And the clouds, my god, they look so safe
If I could rest my head on one, maybe I could find a way

We'd hang around and stay up late
Run about in the pouring rain
Maybe I'd be safer in the clouds
Maybe I'd be safer in the clouds

We'd dance in the downpour, no worries, no fears
Just the sound of the thunder and your voice in my ears
But now those days are distant, just echoes in my mind
And the raindrops on the window are the tears I've left behind

The rain, it haunts me today
You know I haven't seen the sun for almost three whole days
And the clouds, my god, they look so safe
If I could rest my head on one, maybe I could find a way

We'd hang around and stay up late
Run about in the pouring rain
Maybe I'd be safer in the clouds
Maybe I'd be safer in the clouds
