Lyrics
Can't Help It -
there’s rain on the window, there’s leaves on the ground
they just keep falling, floating, they never make a sound
i got your picture, still on the wall
i just keep watching, hoping, maybe you might call
some memories they don’t stay, some they just won’t go away
some they just linger like vapor at the end of the day
just like the wind, like volcanoes when they’re blowing
just like a road, like a story that’s unfolding
they can’t help it they just do what they all come here to do
just like fire, like lightning when it’s burning
just like wheels, like the seasons when they’re turning
they can’t help it they just do what they all come here to do
just like sundown, like the shadows when they’re shifting
just like the clouds, like your thoughts when they’re drifting
they can’t help that what they do keeps reminding me of you
there’s rain on the window, there’s tears rolling down
the things i hold tight to, they’re coming unwound
i ‘ve got the engine running, i’ve got the windshield wipers on
but it don’t matter which way i’m going, you’re gonna still be gone
still be gone…
