[Verse 1]
Let’s go and stand in the rain
I’ll hold your hand under my jacket
And all the warmth in my veins
I’ll pass to you under dripping branches
[Chorus]
In another world of mud and glitter skies, love
We will listen to the words of people much more eloquent than me
[Verse 2]
Let’s have a chat on the bus
'Cause even though I get to see you often
Sometimes a wall rises up between us
Can we unpick it with this corkscrew
[Chorus]
In another world of bodies, beats and hearts pumped
I’ll be hiding in a corner, searching for another friend like you
[Bridge]
I’ll hold your hand in the rain (I’ll hold your hand in the rain)
For once don’t recoil in distaste (For once don’t recoil in distaste)
Oh please keep me grounded 'cause inside I’m running
I’m stumbling I’m slipping away
[Chorus]
In this other world of rainbow colours above
You be gold and I’ll be paper, fluttering in shreds at your feet
[Outro]
I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows (I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows)
I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows (I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows)
I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows (I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows)
I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows (I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows)
I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows (I can’t stand the sun but don’t leave me in the shadows)
