You are the light of my world
No need to cry so hard
Dreaming of time on my hands
Changing the ways I fought
I want you
But I don't want your reasons why
You can't even look me in my eye
I told you
So don't you make me say it one more time
When you went away
Moonlight took the day
Stars and darkness all collided
In the loneliest of space
Will you stand stand, stand, stand?
Oh, will you stand, stand, stand
Can you stand the rain?
When summer's gone and
There's no use in weighing it out all the time
Oh and then
Seeping deeper into blame
When you went away
Moonlight took the day
Stars and darkness
All collided in the loneliest of space
When you went away
My universe divided
All that's left is the matter of asking myself
Will you stand?
Or will you faulter?
Will you lean into the timeless bending
Never-ending strength in your heart?
Or will you prosper?
Will you recover after all the love you've lost and lost again?
Will you stand?
Oh, will you stand?
The universe divided over all of me, yeah
And I've been looking deep into my soul
Finding my reflection in the mercury (mercury)
And turning my transgressions into gold, oh
Knew you would be miles away, yeah, yeah
Can you stand the pain, pain baby?
Can you stand?
Can you stand the rain? (you stand the rain, even through the pain)
Can you stand? (when they calling you out your name)
Tell me, can you stand?
When you went to heaven
Oh, I knew you would be miles away
Oh, I knew you would be miles away
Yeah, you couldn't stay, no way, baby
I don't blame you
I won't miss you
Too desperately, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can you stand the rain?
Even through the pain?
When they calling you out your name, oh
You stand the rain, even through the pain
When they calling you out your name
You stand the rain
And take the pain
Can you stand the rain?
Make it through all the things they say?
Hey, yeah
