Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through to you?
Hello 
Is it late there?
Is there laughter on the line?
Are you sure you're there alone?
'Cause I'm 
Trying to explain 
Something's wrong 
You just don't sound the same 

Why don't you 
Why don't you 
Go outside 
Go outside 

Kiss the rain 
Whenever you need me 
Kiss the rain 
Whenever I'm gone too long 
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty 
Kiss the rain 
And wait for the dawn 
Keep in mind 
We're under the same sky 
And the night's 
As empty for me as for you 
If you feel 
You can't wait 'til morning 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 

Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I'm missing you
What's new?
How's the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
You sound so close but it feels like you're so far 
Oh, would it mean anything 
If you knew 
What I'm left imagining 
In my mind 
In my mind 
Would you go 
Would you go 

Kiss the rain

As you fall 
Over me 
Think of me 
Think of me 
Think of me 
Only me 
Kiss the rain 
Whenever you need me 
Kiss the rain 
Whenever I'm gone too long 
If your lips 
Feel hungry and tempted 
Kiss the rain 
And wait for the dawn 
Keep in mind 
We're under the same sky 
And the night's 
As empty for me as for you 
If you feel you can't wait 'til morning 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 
Kiss the rain 

(Kiss the rain)
(Kiss the rain) 
(Kiss the rain) 

Hello
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
