[Pre-Chorus: Oliver Sim]
Here comes the rain again
It always has an effect on me
Don't know how the seasons run
I always feel like I'm in between
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]

And they're intensified
The first drop hits my windowpane
And the emotions start flooding in
[Verse 2: Oliver Sim]
I recognize it in the air
The fading light is my precursor
But how do I prepare?
I slowly fade as the sky worsens
[Refrain: Oliver Sim]
My fears, my doubts
They're slowly creeping out
And they're intensified
The first drop hits my windowpane
And the emotions start flooding in
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus: Oliver Sim]
Here comes the rain again
It always has an effect on me
Don't know how the seasons run
I always feel like I'm in between
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Do I stay inside till I see the sun?
Once again, let the seasons run
Or do I step outside?
[Instrumental Outro]
