Rainy Day Parade
Rediscovering Joy Through Rainy Day Parades
Lyrics
I used to have the world in my handbag
I used to have control over my world.
How did I manage to blow it?
How did I ruin or squander it?
I missed the bus, I lost my heart
I missed opportunities, and my heart got broken frequently in the mornings.
An awful lot of mornings
Many mornings were difficult or unfortunate.
I used to have the stars in my pockets
I used to feel connected to something greater (symbolized by stars).
Now I just watch them on TV
Now, I only experience those feelings vicariously through TV.
My friends, they've all run away
My friends have distanced themselves.
But they'll come back again
Expecting them to return eventually.
And we'll have a celebration
Anticipating a joyful reunion and celebration.
Getting back on my medication
Getting back on prescribed medication for mental health.
We'll have a rainy day parade
Expecting a celebration despite challenges, symbolized by a "rainy day parade."
I used to live with someone who loved me
I used to be in a loving relationship.
But somehow they ran out of patience
However, the partner lost patience and left.
I regret those things I said
Regretting hurtful words spoken in the past.
They were so uncalled for
Realizing those words were unnecessary.
Can't you see that the weather is changing
Noticing a change in the emotional atmosphere.
The dark clouds over my head
Feeling burdened by dark thoughts or emotions.
About to burst, I've seen the worst
Emotionally on the brink, expecting a release.
Let it pour all day
Welcoming an emotional outpouring or cleansing.
'Cause I'm filled with good vibrations
Despite challenges, feeling positive and optimistic.
I got that old sensation
Revisiting a past positive feeling or memory.
We'll have a rainy day parade
Anticipating a celebration despite difficulties.
You're gonna want me back
Confident that the ex-partner will desire a return.
You're gonna let me in
Believing that the ex-partner will allow reconciliation.
We're gonna wash our sins away
Expecting a mutual cleansing or forgiveness for past mistakes.
Got the world in my handbag
Regaining control over life's circumstances.
Got my notebook too
Having a tool for creativity and expression.
Got the stars in my pocket
Feeling a personal connection to something greater.
I'm gonna give them all to you
Willing to share those positive feelings.
And we'll take a long vacation
Planning a significant break or escape.
We'll sweep across the nation
Envisioning a positive impact across the country.
We'll have a rainy day parade
Expecting a celebration despite challenges.
Getting back that old sensation
Reconnecting with a positive past feeling.
Back on my medication
Resuming prescribed medication for mental well-being.
We'll have a rainy day parade
Anticipating a celebration despite difficulties.
