When It Rains

[Verse 1] Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks And the weight of the news, It nearly broke my back It was late September, and I remember oh so well I put a rose in the bible and placed it on my shelf [Chorus][x2] Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before [Verse 2] Back then when we were 17 Time was on our side Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams The future was Friday night And we would hangout down by the river-bend Singing our favorite songs Laughing and drinking, smoking and smiling Now those days are gone [Chorus] [Verse 3] Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back And the tears they fell like a monsoon Underneath the cold fall moon Somehow God put his hands on your shoulders Way too, way too soon [Outro] Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now No I didn't know now What I knew before
