Coming Down Lyrics

I am not trying to avoid you

But I know it looks that way

I am not trying to cut off

What you're trying to say

Don't get discouraged

We'll talk on another day, okay?

It's just that the rain is coming down

The rain is coming down

And I wanna go inside

Where it's warm and dry

I don't disparage your motives

I know your heart is good

You'll make it out of the woods real soon

Knock on wood

Am I not paying attention

As well as I could?

I should

It's just that the pain is coming down

The pain is coming down

I can barely stand up

When I feel you cry

I feel the pull of the life I have built

Out of comfort and cowardice, stiffness and guilt

And it stops me from staying too long

Your situation is bad

And I'm glad you reached out to me

Previous plans just prevent me

From being the key

Maybe you'll find someone else

Who can set your soul free

We'll see

But I feel my world is coming down

World is coming down

And it keeps me from making

A heartfelt try

I don't believe in the future or past

Like a normal man

I just keep stretching the present

As far as I can

And when you say yesterday

Might as well be the Sudan

Or Japan

And I feel the time is coming down

Time is coming down

And tomorrow's a good way

To say goodbye

I feel the pull of the life I have built

Out of comfort and cowardice, stiffness and guilt

And it stops me from staying too long

And it stops me from staying too long

This is not just an excuse

But I know it will sound that way

It's hard enough for me

To fight my way back through the gray

Don't get discouraged

We'll talk on another day, okay?

It's just that the rain is coming down

The rain is coming down

And I wanna go inside

Where it's warm and dry

And I wanna go inside

Where it's warm and dry

And I wanna go inside

Where it's warm and dry
