The Fiery Furnaces - Even in the Rain Lyrics

You wore your wrestling badge from your wrestling match
You wore a t-shirt over your suit that says you just won State
I guess I still don't mind that you were late
I guess we must have done a lot of kissing
Must have known not what we were missing

She followed us to the motel and I lied all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way to Lake Geneva

I let you wear the helmet even though you never offered anyway

Even in the rain

This could be the day the earth stood still
Take it from me I know we've had our fill
Never been this calm as I wander 'round
Never bring harm to those that I surround

Well I keep consuming to avoid my own thoughts, they tell me
Love keeping busy, love keeping busy at any old cost
But there's nothing I could say would keep my mind off of you
Well there's nothing I could do to keep my mind from thinking of you

Even in the rain

She followed us to the motel and I lied all the way
I rode on the back of your bike all the way to Lake Geneva
I let you wear the helmet even though you never offered anyway

Even in the rain
