I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
Oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on, on
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
Oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on, on

My favorite lyrics are:
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong."
"Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? " --- I love this line because whenever something bad happens we have a tendency to correlate it with something we have done, sometimes that definitely may be the case, but in general we have no real control over certain things and so therefore are not responsible...but we still question it.
"Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning"----------- I like this lyric cause it goes with the mentality that "oh yeah even when things are going great I'll find a way to screw it up somehow"
Anyway an honest, lovely, song describing the way we've all felt at one point or another.
brilliant song.
I agree with AlmightyChrissy - sometimes I want to laugh, sometimes cry
Sometimes it makes me wants to cry when I’m going through hard times, because, let’s face it, it’s a sad song with features, insomnia, identity crisis; it even has a sad violin intro.
Sometimes it makes me want to laugh because of the futility of the situation. As strangersatellite
said, we want to understand why this crap happens to us. What’s with all the bad karma? Even when it’s sunny I get shocks of lightening. Is it because of that time when I was 17 and I lied about eating the last cookie? But really, at the end of the day, it’s bad weather, and even though we can’t justify why, we have no choice but to accept it.
I’m going through really poop time right now — for me personally, this signifies the recent fail of a string of relationships and failed love, while all my friends are married, engaged, or very close to engagement. It’s my pity-party-of-one song. ‘Why does it always rain on ME?’ I feel like there’s some bad-luck love raincloud following me around or something.
My only hope is that rain is not permanent...so maybe someday I’ll meet someone special to be my sunshine...
