Rainiest Day of Summer- Elizabeth & the Catapult

Everyone's wearing jackets but me
Everyone's holding parasols, whistling
Everyone's wearing jackets but me
I'm feeling melancholy
Melancholy


Everyone's got a bicycle but me
Cruising down the avenue
Like feathers on the sea
Everyone's got a bicycle but me
It's all unsettling
Unsettling


But what is there to do
When you know that you've been fooled by the rainiest day of summer
Rainiest day of summer
Just when you decide
You wanna take a little step outside 
You get plummeted by the downpour
On the rainiest day of summer


Everyone's got the message but me
Rubber boots, and high tops, and skirts below the knee
Everyone's got the message but me
So why am I still laughing?
Why am I still laughing?


Cause it seems I found the evidence
That the weatherman lied
Maybe there's a side of us
That wants to be denied


But what is there to do
When you know that you've been fooled by the rainiest day of summer
Rainiest day of summer
Just when you decide
You wanna take a little step outside 
You get plummeted by the downpour

On the rainiest day of summer


Well, it's raining like crazy here, but luckily I have my handy dandy sunflower umbrella and well-used hoodie. Unlike my outer self though, my inner thoughts are being thrown around thanks to feeling like everyone is upset at me, including people I hold dear. I feel like such a Debbie Downer, but it's hard to see the silver lining to clouds when all they do is release heavy drops of self-doubt on your head. However, I'm starting to embrace the downpour and lift my head up to face it because otherwise, how else am I going to see the sun when it finally peeks through in the sky? It can't be dark and gloomy forever...
