But Not Tonight [*] Lyrics
Oh God, it's raining
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight
And I haven't felt so alive in years
Just for a day
On a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery
The wind in my hair makes me so aware
How good it is to live tonight
And I haven't felt so alive in years
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
Oh God, it's raining and I'm not containing
My pleasure at being so wet
Here on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight
And I haven't felt so alive in years
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
But I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
They're lighting my way tonight
On a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery
How good it is to live tonight
Reminding me of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
My pleasure at being so wet
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight
Reminding me of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I've been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
