The Juliana Theory-The Rainy Day Song(Duane Joseph)

tell your mom you need a day off 
so we can play out in the rain 
we'll catch a ride to the mall,
go down to the arcade 
cause that's where all the cool kids hang
 
tell your mom you need a day off 
cause i don't feel like school today
we'll ride our boards down the hill
and to the playground
where everything's ok 

tell your mom that we'llbe home late 
cause building cabins in the woods is hard work 

you always know that i'll be there
cause summer time is coming near 
my closest friend
you'll always be
you are a hometown kid like me

tell your mom to make us lunch now
cause we worked up an appetite 
g.i. joes and karate matches in the backyard
where everything's all right

now i can see that things have changed 
we've gone our separate ways now 
and it's not you and me anymore,
it's not you and me
why can't it be the way it was 
when pain was only plastic guns

my closest friend
i couldn't say
you are a million miles away
i guess i'll hold my breath 
there is no harm in hoping for change.
