Window shopping houses up on Clinton Street
I’m dancing down the block with the autumn breeze
Bright Eyes in my ears, I forget my fears
It’s the first day of my life

And it’s so sad to think that I won’t be here forever
Going home, going home but I’ll always remember
When I’m sitting in the sun, I think about the rain
And the snow on the window pane

When I’m cruising down the 1, dreaming I’m back east
‘Til I end up in Long Beach
‘Cause I said I’d go back home, but I don’t really know where to go ‘cause
When I’m sitting in the sun, I think about the rain

I think about the rain
I’m feeling prеtty small among the redwood trees
I wanna count the rings deep insidе of me
‘Cause Brooklyn made me young so I said goodbye

Now I’m growing old in Oakland
And it’s so sad to think that I won’t be here forever
Going home, going home but I’ll always remember
When I’m sitting in the sun, I think about the rain

And the snow on the window pane
When I’m cruising down the 1, dreaming I’m back east
‘Til I end up in Long Beach
‘Cause I said I’d go back home, but I don’t really know where to go ‘cause
When I’m sitting in the sun, I think about the rain

I think about the rain
(I think about the rain)
(I think about the rain)
(I think about the rain)

And it’s so sad to think that I won’t be here forever
Going home, going home but I’ll always remember
When I’m sitting in the sun, I think about the rain
And the snow on the window pane

When I’m cruising down the 1, dreaming I’m back east
‘Til I end up in Long Beach
‘Cause I said I’d go back home, but I don’t really know where to go ‘cause
When I’m sitting in the sun, I think about the rain

I think I know I’m not the same
