Dance the Rain
Nicola Roberts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes life just makes it hard for me to breathe
Sometimes life just makes it hard for me to breathe

When the good turns into bad
And the happy into sad
When the weight of this big world
Is too much for this small girl
And I gotta find a way
Just to make it through the day
So I left my hand I'm safe
Everything will be okay, babe

Oooh the tears from your eyes
Dance the rain from the sky
Get yourself high
Ooooh the tears from your eyes
Dance the rain from the sky
Get yourself high

Sometimes life just makes it hard for me to breathe
Sometimes life just makes it hard for me to breathe

When the good turns into bad
And the happy into sad
When the weight of this big world
Is too much for this small girl
And I gotta find a way
Just to make it through the day
So I left my hand I'm safe
Everything will be okay, babe

Oooh the tears from your eyes
Dance the rain from the sky
Get yourself high
Ooooh the tears from your eyes
Dance the rain from the sky
Get yourself high
Get yourself so
Oooh the tears from your eyes
Dance the rain from the sky
Get yourself high
Ooooh the tears from your eyes
Dance the rain from the sky
Get yourself high

When the good turns into bad
And the happy into sad
When the weight of this big world




Is too much for this small girl
And I gotta find a way
