'Cause it's not fair how sun shines when only you're around
And it's not fair how it rains when you're away
And how does snow end up in California?
Only bad weather, as my dad would say

Hurricanes can be the makin' of people
What if I faded away with the mist?
If acid rain eroded our houses
Could you relate to the crumblin' bricks?
And death will always happen
But we can't be born just to die
And waves continue to flow with the ocean
No one noticed that woman cryin'

Seems I can't see clearly when you're not around
But that won't work as we're not legally bound
A lifelong supply of slippery roads
Torrential rain and hail stones

'Cause it's not fair how sun shines
when only you're around (Oh, oh, oh)
And it's not fair how it rains when you're away (Oh, oh, oh)
And how does snow end up in California? (Oh, oh, oh)
Only bad weather, as my dad would say

A drought in a country where it rains every day
And seasons in the desert will never change
Eternal light in the Arctic
So tell me, why people can't see so well
in snow storms again?
When something's lost, it's noticed
But who second-guesses routines
Run life on the prediction of weather
Segregated like piano keys

Seems I can't see clearly when you're not around
But that won't work as we're not legally bound
A lifelong supply of slippery roads
Torrential rain and hail stones

'Cause it's not fair how sun shines
when only you're around (Oh, oh, oh)
And it's not fair how it rains when you're away (Oh, oh, oh)
And how does snow end up in California? (Oh, oh, oh)
Only bad weather, as my dad would say

Only bad weather, it will pass in a day
Only bad weather, it will eventually go away
