Boyfriends - Rain

I'm a schoolkid singing stock phrases in giggles
And I feel safe and warm and wet like summer rain
Am I blessed by a life lived above ground?
As dewy streetlamps breathe the air into my city

Listening to the rain, know what I noticed?
The sound against the street's from higher than the sky
And makes the ground look wet and unfriendly
Even when it's dry

I'm a loser cause I wanna laugh
You're a failure cause you wanna run
We're both failures forever
Collecting freckles from the morning sun

The street sign's fallen now and reaching heavenward
From the sidewalk bouncing like a magnet
Do you know where you are?
This lamp is old and cycling hard

I picture teardrops crawling cross a frame of frosty glass
Step into that puddle watch it lift my face up
A different kind of surface tension
Up in the sky
