It's the ending of her day   And there's no-one to say goodnight to   And the simple English rain   Just breaks her heart again      She looks at her hands   And expects raindrops and pearls   All for her love was had   But she's the MTV girl   Her parka's full of pictures of the Bay Bridge and you   Just seeing it all through      Try to find a middle name   Pay me in pennies after I'm broken   She promises to make a last try   So she listens to this song   Like the rain on my footsteps   She cycles to work, remembers where she had been   And what they were supposed to mean there too then      The loneliness of her life is a spell that can't be broken   The thin ice of her heart is still without a sever   The caterpillar trail of ink and blood   The paper-wristed soldiers who were lost in the flood   The distance between him and you   It's just seeing it all through      Look at you now, you're crying   Look at you now, you're crying, girl   Look at you now, you're crying   Look at you now, you're crying, girl      She's the quick of the thick   She thought she could say   Of how it is to cry when there's no-one to see it   And you don't even know if you will see him again   Or if he's waiting there for me      Look at you now, you're crying   Look at you now, you're crying, girl   Look at you now, you're crying   Look at you now, you're crying, girl
