"Cats And Dogs" lyrics

You don't often see rain like this
Big drops bounce up from the asphalt
Like pearls dropped from a necklace
Now dancing down the road
You don't often see rain like this
It makes me think of the expression
With cats and dogs and oh, the difference
I did love a few of both

There were the ones I could persuade to lie beside me
For a moment only till they had to go
I do believe they enjoyed the company
And why they had to leave they too did not know
Eyes always watchful, always looking out for something
Maybe danger, maybe fun, I couldn't tell
Never at ease in my arms, never mine, never satisfied
The independent type I know him so well
You don't often see rain like this

I don't often feel pain like this
A song that soaks through our existence
I sing when nobody listens
Like a cat purrs in the night
You don't often see rain like this
Empty streets in an instant
Dogs that bark in the distance
As they're hurried inside

They were the ones that wanted only to be loved
And love in ways I didn't really recognise
Where fear of losing is as dark as love is light
And I could see this premonition in their eyes
These eyes that looked at me so pleadingly and told me that they needed me
Oh, I could hardly breathe
This kind of "Please, don't ever leave me!" situation
That inevitably pushes you to leave
I don't often feel pain like this

I was the one you could persuade to lie beside you
For a moment only till I had to go
I can assure you I enjoyed the company
And why I had to leave I too did not know
Eyes always watchful, always looking out for something
Maybe danger, maybe fun, I couldn't tell
Never at ease in your arms, never satisfied, never mind
I'm the independent type, you know me so well
You don't often see rain like this
