Stood In Your Rain

i see you in the corner
looks like you're waiting for something
what it is i don't really know
it's like your life is misdirection
you want to say
but the truth ain't no protection
so you live another day
feeling that way

(chorus)
i know your pain
i have stood in your rain
i've felt it before
and i didn't wanna face it
i've lived my life
ask once
deny twice
don't want to try anymore

it see you in the corner
seems like you've been waiting for someone
who it is i don't really know
it's like you want some information
you want to ask
but you don't want affirmation
so you live another day
feeling that way

(chorus)
i know your pain
i have stood in your rain
i've felt it before
and i didn't wanna face it
i've lived my life
ask once
deny twice
don't want to try anymore

(bridge)
and in the grand expanse of time
are we really all that different?
this pain is yours and it's mine
and it's hard to get over

(chorus)
i know your pain
i've stood in your rain
i've felt it before
and i didn't wanna face it
i've lived my life
ask once
deny twice
don't want to try anymore

The Message (Empty Is My World)

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

somewhere in the stars
way out there past mars
there's a beacon in the sky
and it's callin'
sends it's best to you
all it says is true
when the time is right
they'll be comin'

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

tell it to your soul
the part of you that knows
that the voices in the sky
have been callin'
something we don't know
in the distant shadow glows
we are in their sights
they've been watchin'

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

(bridge)
in the silence of the night
when they reach out
gonna feel it in your bones
getting closer every day
without a doubt
hope is movin' in
will we be foe or friend?

empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you
empty is my world...
empty is my world
empty is my world
without you

Btw...For those who may be curious...This was written as a take on what a friendly message from an extra-terrestrial intelligence might be if decoded...And human reflection on what such an experience might be like...The friendly and rather lonely alien message...Empty is my world...without you...
