[Verse 1]
Well, the rain outside is pouring down like bombs on my parade
And you're not here to calm my nerves when I'm frantic and afraid
Oh, the madness in the air so thick, you could cut it with a knife
And the loneliness is all I've got to get me through the night

[Chorus]
You left me years ago, sittin' in this hole
But it feels like yesterday, 'cause you won't let me go
And it's like a thorn that keeps on diggin' in my side
And, to be honest, it's like both of us have died

[Post-Chorus]
And everything about myself makes me wanna scream
Why can't everything feel like I'm livin' in a dream?
And all I wanna do is have another chance to fall in love again
Before it's over

[Verse 2]
The taste of love and gasoline still permeates the room
And the sacred vow that we both made
Well, it fades like your perfume
And I serenade you every night even though I know you're gone
And dance naked in the pale moonlight to our favorite song

[Chorus]
And you left me years ago, cryin' in this hole
But it feels like yesterday, 'cause you won't let me go
And it's like a thorn that keeps on diggin' in my side
Oh, and to be honest, it's like both of us have died
[Outro]
And everything about myself just makes me wanna scream
Why can't everything feel like I'm livin' in a dream?
And all I wanna do is have another chance to fall in love again
Before it's over
