i stand out breaking in the portland rain   i see the end there in your eyes   as i watch you drive away      i walk back blind into my cold dreamhouse   and i think about the damage   i put the big light out      i sit down smoking on my basement floor   i hear footsteps up above me   they are right outside my front door      the only place    that i want to be   is watching you move   up on top of me      the only sound    that i want to hear   is the rain against my window   as you whisper in my ear      baby........ you know i love it when you call me baby         i go upstairs and find my twelve year old   she's got tears running down her face   sitting sad at my piano      she sings soft words from that old beatles song   and i think about my yesterday   and all the things i did wrong      the only place    that i want to be   is watching you sweet dream   in bed right next to me      the only sound    that i want to hear   is the rain against my window   as i pull you near...      dont give up on me   baby,...cant you you see   we could make this be   the way it used to be      dont give up on me   i wish i could make you see   that i am changing everyday   trying to build a better me      we could make this be    the way it's supposed to be....      don't give up on me      i stand out in the rain   where i watched you drive away   i never thought i would live to see   this fucked-up day      i stand out in the rain   in the middle of the night   i wish that it   could wash away   the beast inside      the only thing    i want to do   is kiss you    when i am coming deep inside of you      the only sound    that i want to hear   is the rain against my window   as i hold you....      dont give up on me   oh baby .. can't you see   we could make this be    the way it used to be      dont give up on me   i wish i could make you see   that i am changing everyday   trying to build a better me      we could make this be    the way it's supposed to be ....      dont give up on me
