Battle of the Bands . . . in the Rain Lyrics

Here's when it tends to go wrong 

When even after all of my songs

Men worry what they lose if they get away

So scared of what's unknown 

They cling to things that they bemoan

And stay the same 

Afraid of pain 

Afraid of any change

But Jack I can give you Option B

You just tune out the certainty 

Of the Misters and their fated misery

Because now you heard them sing through me

You gotta see their melodies

Only keep you silently

Flailing in the weeds

And with no footsteps to follow

Or shoes to fill that don't fit you 

You could find your own truth

I know what I'd choose

That's right, Jack, let him go

Fall back on me kiddo, come on home

You don't change, you don't grow

Because you're nothing without my say-so

And any time you think you find

A song to sing that ain't one of mine

I'll be there when you're all alone

To remind you of the devil that you know

I'm the way it's always been

I'm the way it'll always be

I'm the way it's always been

I'm the way it'll always be

I'm the way it's always been

I'm the way it'll always be

I'm the way it's always been

I'm the way it'll always

I can't save you

I can't make you

Give all you got until you break through 

They might not ever leave your mind

But it doesn't mean you can't leave them behind

You gotta sing your own song now

And if they start to get too loud

If the Misters try to bring you down

You got me, Jack, I'll be around

With a shot of rock 'n' roll

Little thunder to drown 'em out 

Sometimes you wait until you're steady

Damn yourself to fall

Sometimes you move before you're ready

Or you're never gonna move at all

Sometimes you wait until you're steady

Damn yourself to fall

Sometimes you move before you're ready

Or you're never gonna move

Never gonna move at all

Only one way

Only one way I know to get right

You gotta leave the devil you know

Devil you know behind
