Intro
Verse
I see the train out my window passing by every morning
I wake up to the screaming in the shadows around every corner
Pre Chorus
Just for today I want to make it make it rain
Just for today I want to make it I want to make it rain
Verse
Tip toe down the hallway trying not to make a sound
Trapping inside this prison no key to be found
Pre Chorus
Just for today I going to make it make it rain
Just for today I going to make it I going to make it rain
Verse
Tied around my neck the noose of hope that it will tighten
It's all just a screwed up wreck is there anybody out there not fightin'
Pre Chorus
Just for today I'm going to make it going make it rain
Just for today I'm going to make it I going to make it rain
Bridge
Got to get out out of this nightmare
Their empty bottles are sucking me dry
Maybe tommorrow tommorrow morning
I'm gonna jump on that train and ride fly away
Interlude to Chorus
Just for today I'm going to make it going make it rain
Just for today I'm going to make it I going to make it rain
Just for today I'm going to make it going make it rain
Just for today I'm going to make it I going to make it rain
