Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad news starting to get to me... to me
Tears fall caught up in the landslide
Helpless and now I gotta reach for you... youu
Too many times I get lost inside the dark ohhhh
But you remind me hopes a light that's not that far ohh
I'm gonna smile when the rain falls
I'm gonna smile though the bad times
Turn them into good times
Hold you, you can hold me
I'll cut through the dark all the way to you
Cause when the clouds part the sun... is gonna shine through
I'll be standing right beside you
Lonely isn't what you're meant to feel
How do you feel'
So far, we gotta get closer
We are better when we don't conceal ohhh
But you remind me hopes a light that's not that far ohhh
(Chorus)
I'm gonna smile when the rain falls
Laugh when the storm comes raging... raging
I'm gonna smile though the bad times
Turn them into good times
Hold you, you can hold me
I'll cut through the dark all the way to you
Cause when the clouds part the sun... is gonna shine through
Some days are like a picture without a frame
And I can't be contained
And I'll try to believe there's a better way
A better way
(Chorus)
I'm gonna smile when the rain falls
Laugh when the storm comes raging... raging
I'm gonna smile though the bad times
Turn them into good times
Hold you, you can hold me
I'll cut through the dark all the way to you
Cause when the clouds part the sun... is gonna shine through
