Press Play When Its Rainy by The Mannequins Lyrics
I don’t care if the words strike wrong
Just listen to the sound of the song
If they don’t mean anything fine
I’m looking back on winter days
Spent lying with a buried face
Like I am tonight
And the guilt and the pain in my teeth
Brings back feelings of vacation to the beach
When I looked nothing in the eyes
I don’t know if you’re listening to this
But I hope that you find your bliss
I hope their smile’s so white
Well, the glue’s gone. I don’t know where to start
Finding the missing pieces of a broken heart
Well you’vе heard that before
Somе days I get up, and I walk
I live and I breathe and I talk
Why do I step out that door?
I’m just trying to sift through the fog
Empty feelings that keep holding on
Of no consequence here
Snow flurries, shivers, ensnares
Freezes your rock star hair
And brings the end of good cheer
And I’ve given my entire world
To check-box notes passed desks from teenage girls
I guess I’m losing my touch
If you wanted something perfect and pure
If you wanted someone you really deserve
Then man, you’re out of luck
And I beg and I hope and I pray
To see the light at the end of the day
But it never gives in
And I know, that I don’t know for certain
But start the show I wanna see behind the curtain
I’ve got a harlequin itch
So baby, press play when it’s lonely
Turn me on when it’s Monday
Put me on when you’re blue
Sweet nothing, press play when it’s rainy
Let me spin ‘till it’s Sunday
When it’s all you can do
So darling, can you see through these sunbeams?
Am I still cast as your daydream?
Am I still in your head?
Strange angel, press play when it’s rainy
Feel the breeze of a cold shade
What’s worth just wishing for death?
And I forgot what I was going to say
But the band still goes
Yeah the band still plays
Like the chorus goes back to the verse
This soliloquy wasn’t rehearsed
Maybe I’ll remove it this way
Thought metaphors and turns of phrase would kill
These feelings I’ve been chasing up a hill
But they just fester and mate
And I wonder if this is the start of all the pain
The feelings, stealing every inch of your brain
Old money real estate
So sweetly, press play when you’re hungry
Hit rewind when you think of me
Dial in, when you’re done
Oh comely, the speakers blow where you’re going
Put me on when it’s snowing
And it just won’t let up
So baby, press play when it’s lonely
Turn me on when it’s Monday
Put me on when you’re blue
Sweet nothing, press play when it’s rainy
Let me spin ‘till it’s Sunday
When it’s all you can do
Just listen to the sound of the song
If they don’t mean anything fine
I’m looking back on winter days
Spent lying with a buried face
Like I am tonight
And the guilt and the pain in my teeth
Brings back feelings of vacation to the beach
When I looked nothing in the eyes
I don’t know if you’re listening to this
But I hope that you find your bliss
I hope their smile’s so white
Well, the glue’s gone. I don’t know where to start
Finding the missing pieces of a broken heart
Well you’vе heard that before
