Kiss The Rain (Chasing Amy mix)

"-Why are we stopping?
-'Cos I can't take this.
-Can take what?
-I love you.
-You... love me?
-I love you. And not... Not in the friendly way. Although I think we're great friends. And not in the... Misplaced affection... Puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'd call it. I love you. Very... Very simple, very truly. You are the... The epitome of everything I've ever looked for in another human being."

Hello 
Can you hear me? 
Am I gettin' through to you? 

Hello 
Is it late there? 
There's a laughter on the line 
Are you sure you're there alone? 
Cause I'm 
Tryin' to explain 
Somethin's wrong 
Ya just don't sound the same 
Why don't you 
Why don't you 
Go outside 
Go outside 

Kiss the rain 
Whenever you need me 
Kiss the rain 
Whenever I'm gone, too long.

If your lips 
Feel lonely and thirsty 
Kiss the rain 
And wait for the dawn.

Keep in mind 
We're under the same sky 
And the nights 
As empty for me, as for you 

If ya feel 
You can't wait till morinin' 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 

"-I can't stand next to you, without wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes without feeling that... That longing you only read about in thrashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are."

Hello 
Do you miss me? 
I hear you say you do 
But not the way I'm missin' you 

What's new? 
"-I like who I am because of that."
How's the weather? 
Is it stormy where you are? 
Cause you sound so close but it feels like you're so far

Oh would it mean anything 
If you knew 
What I'm left imagining 
In my mind 
In my mind 
Would you go 
Would you go 

Kiss the rain 

"-And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down."

And you'd fall over me 
Think of me 
Think of me 
Think of me 
Only me 

Kiss the rain 
Whenever you need me 
Kiss the rain 
Whenever I'm gone too long 

If your lips 
Feel hungry and tempted 
"-I'll accept that."
Kiss the rain 
and wait for the dawn 

Keep in mind 
We're under the same skies 
And the nights 
As empty for me, as for you 

If you feel 
You can't wait till morning 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 

"-But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. There isn't another soul on this planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me."

Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 
Oooooohhhhh 
Kiss the rain 
Oooooohhhhh 
Kiss the rain 
Hello 
Can ya hear me? 
Can ya hear me? 
Can ya hear me?
