b e f o r e Lyrics

I fell in love with today

She always fades away

Visits my thoughts when i call her name

But it's never the same

I fell in love with today

Her ever youthful way of

Dancing through my dreams persuades

Me that it will be okay

I know she's not mine to keep

The ocean's as dark as it's deep

I just hope I can fall into sleep

Before the rain

I fell in love with yesterday

She whispers in my ear to stay

Her tempting ends with a betrayal

And a debt i can never pay

I fell in love with yesterday

Her eyes and skin and hair a maze

She blurs the weeks into a haze

And she takes away my pain

But i know shes not mine to keep

The oceans yet darker yet deep

As the downpour starts to release

I'm left holding half of a dream again

Shattered to pieces and covered in creases

I beg God at least let me rest

Are you impressed that i handle myself so well

I've none i keep near me

I hope the rest fear me and that they forget of my tell

Did i pass your test

I swear i gave all that i could

I've never tried so hard and never come so far

To still not feel the way that i should

But i know she's not mine to keep

Dreams never do come true cheap

Still the oceans as dark as it's deep

I'm sorry i didn't quite manage to sleep

Before the rain
