Under this national rain cloud I'm getting soaked to the skin Trying to find my umbrella But I don't know where to begin And it's simply irrational weather Can't even hear myself think Constantly bailing out water But still feel like I'm gonna sink 'Cause I'm under the weather Just like the world So sorry for being so bold When I turn out the light You're out of sight Although I know that I'm not alone Feels like home Feels like home You say you feel like a natural person You haven't got nothing to hide So why do you feel imperfection Cut like a sword in your side? 'Cause you're under the weather Just like the world So sorry for being so bold When I turn out the light You're out of sight Although I know that I'm not alone Feels like home Feels like home Feels like home Feels like home Yes, it feels like home Yes, it feels like home 'Cause I'm under the weather Just like the world And I need somebody to hold When I turn out the light You're out of sight Although I know that I'm not alone Feels like home
