Umbrella Lyrics
I am going out now, darling
Pass me my umbrella, darling
I wear it like a crutch
To the ground
Like a shade
And nothing comes down on me
I walk along beside the drivers
How ever do they drive so bravely?
When I still hear the bang
Sudden bang in my head
And the scar runs on my face
And on my hands, they held the wheel
And on my mind, it was distracted
And saved from scarring anybody else
I'm lodged between the could-haves, could-haves
I want you to be proud of me
Proud of me, proud
And how can you be?
When I wear my umbrella like this
When I dwell on myself like this
When I need to be reassured like this
You dance around with my umbrella
You dance around the obvious weaknesses
Around the room with my umbrella
You dance around the room with me
I see us in the mirror going by;
Look at my happy face!
See what you do for me?
Pass me my umbrella, darling
I wear it like a crutch
To the ground
Like a shade
And nothing comes down on me
How ever do they drive so bravely?
When I still hear the bang
Sudden bang in my head
And the scar runs on my face
And on my hands, they held the wheel
And on my mind, it was distracted
I'm lodged between the could-haves, could-haves
I want you to be proud of me
Proud of me, proud
And how can you be?
When I wear my umbrella like this
When I dwell on myself like this
When I need to be reassured like this
You dance around the obvious weaknesses
Around the room with my umbrella
You dance around the room with me
I see us in the mirror going by;
Look at my happy face!
See what you do for me?

one of the most touching songs i've ever heard - amazing lyrics. about someone deeply scarred from a car crash, and her best friend is the only one who can take her handicap and put it aside and take her fear and worry away, even if only for brief moments.
i know how that feels
