If You Can

If you can, stop your crying
These days won't last forever
Just pull yourself together now
Remember how you marched with drummers
Sang in the street
Inside the rain you didn't hide
You never tried to look for shelter under a tree
And now there's no place you'd rather be

But there's no use in lying
Not to yourself or others
Look at you, run for cover now
While falling down like sheets of metal slashing the sky
The rain is only blinding your eyes
And summer flies away without you touching the sea
And now there's no place you'd rather be running free

Sought out your demons, and taught them to speak
And then believed all that you heard
Every word
A crash of cymbals deep in your ear
A shock releasing all of your fears
In a flood of tears

If you can, stop your crying
These days won't last forever
Just pull yourself together now
