Well, I built you up

To be something that you were not

Something too good, something bright, 

Something too perfect, too right

Goodnight, now you're running out of Sight, goodnight

Say it once again



I built you up to be something you were not

Someone too good, too perfect, too right, goodnight

Now these tears are out of sight

But once again you bring the summer rain

It hurts much less this way

You always, you always seem to say

You always seem to say

Then bring the summer rain



Feels like we're not meant to be two

But when I'm with you it feels like just

You and me (in a happy tree)

The waves of love around our beings

The energy, the summer rain

Well it didn't seem to smile on us those days

Now it seemed to smile on us those days



Distances make worlds so small



I built you up to be something you were not

Someone too good, too perfect, too right, goodnight

Now these tears are out of sight

But once again you bring the summer rain

It hurts much less this way

You always, you always seem to say

You always seem to say

Then bring the summer rain



Like a friend, like a friend in a new

Lover (like a friend)

Like a friend, where's the friend in my

New lover (like a friend)

Like a friend in my new lover, my

Love grown fond of you

But I know there ain't a damn thing I can do

Everyday I've thought of you

Everyday, everyday, everyday I call

Then we try to walk but then we fall

Every step I seem to take and go

Without you it's just an empty wall
