Watching the Rain
Katy Rose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish there was a photograph that showed me here with you
And I could kiss the photograph and make my wish come true
I wish I was a humming dove so I could sing so sweet
I wish that I could steal the moon and kiss it with my feet
I wish I was a remedy that you wanted to take
A product of a recipe that no one had to bake
I wish I could forget the day the hurting in my heart
And wash our mouths with Listerine to make a brand new start

[chorus:]
Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain
Watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down
Watching the rain
Watching the rain fall down

I wish there was a fairytale that turned into my life
So I could kiss Prince Charming man and be his princess wife
I wish the voices in my head would leave my ears alone
So my eyes could stop their water bleeding and I could find a home
I wish there was a ruby rose where I spread my wings and flew
So I could inhale the perfume and be the morning dew
I wish the raindrops on the glass would let me join their dance
I'd spin and twirl and laugh with them and drown my thoughts per-chance

[chorus]
Woa woa I kinda like it
Woa woa
Woa woa I kinda like it this way
Watchin the rain
Watchin the rain

[chorus]
Watchin the rain, watchin the rain
