lyrics

If I could save these teardrops 
Falling through your pain 
I'd capture all the thunder 
That’s causing you the same 
I would keep on trying 
If little was to gain 
Beside my heart I’d bring you 
A little cup of rain 

Maybe you can use it 
To wash away your tears 
I promise though it’s little 
It’s gonna last for years 
If it feels like everything 
Is going down the drain 
Follow with a chaser 
From this little cup of rain 

Aha, aha, aha, aha 
Aha, aha, aha, aha 

So when it seems nothing more 
I can really do 
All my efforts falling short 
Never reaching you 
Heart in hand I write this down 
Sitting on a plane 
And send it through the ether 
A little cup of rain 

Aha, aha, aha, aha 
Aha, aha, aha, aha 

But when you come up 
Come up for air 
You know I will be there 

Aha, aha, aha, aha 
Aha, aha, aha, aha 
Aha, aha, aha, aha 
Aha, aha, aha, aha
