Deciding on the Rain

Introduction
The little changes every day
Change my life so drastically
The little changes in every way
Make me feel so brittle
Verse 1
I?d like to be a cloud
Changing every day
I?d like to be a cloud
Deciding on the rain
I?d like to be
A part of nature
One not quite alive
I?d like to be
A part of nature
One that never dies
Chorus
If I was just a cloud
Floatin? up above in the sky
I wouldn?t have to worry
I wouldn?t have to try
I wouldn?t have to do a thing
No decisions, no more strain
I am just (I am just), I am just (I am just)
I?m just in case of rain
Bridge 1
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly
White and high and clumpy
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly
White and high and clumpy
Verse 2
I?d like to gently glide
The sun I?d love to hide
I?d like to gently glide
I?d play up in the sky
I?d like to have no brain
No thoughts and no more pain
I?d like to have no brain
All I?d do is rain
Chorus
If I was just a cloud
Floatin? up above in the sky
I wouldn?t have to worry
I wouldn?t have to try
I wouldn?t have to do a thing
No decisions, no more strain
I am just (I am just), I am just (I am just)
I?m just in case of rain
Bridge 1
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly
White and high and clumpy
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly
White and high and clumpy
Bridge 2 (Half Spoken)
I?m floating by
Being white and black and high
I?m floating by
Being earth and sun and sky
Chorus/Coda
If I was just a cloud (If I was just a cloud)
Floating up above in the sky (Floatin? up above in the sky)
I wouldn?t have to worry (I wouldn?t have to worry)
I wouldn?t have to try (I wouldn?t have to try)
I wouldn?t have to do a thing (I wouldn?t have to do a thing)
No decisions, no more strain (no more strain)
I am just (I am just), I am just (I am just)
I?m just in case of rain
Or maybe not today
For the seasons have caught us
In a whirlwind spinning fantasy
We are clouds and then we?re not
It?s all a part of destiny
Bridge 1
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly
White and high and clumpy
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly
White and high and clumpy
I?m (I?m) floatin? by condensing kindly (Floating)
White and high and clumpy (by)
I?m floatin? by (being white) condensing kindly (and black)
White and high and clumpy (and high)
I?m floatin? by (I?m) condensing kindly (Floating)
White and high and clumpy (by)
I?m floatin? by (being earth) condensing kindly (and sun)
White and high and clumpy (and sky)
I?m floatin? by condensing kindly (I?m)
White and high and clumpy (floating)
I?m floatin? by (by) condensing kindly
White and high (I?m) and clumpy
