Lyrics:
Called U yesterday
U didn't answer Ur phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably weren't alone
So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

U've been gone seventeen days
Seventeen long nights
The main drag is knowing that
U're holding someone else tight
I want 2 call U everyday
And beg U 2 be near me
But I know your head is underwater
I doubt that U could hear me

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Seventeen days
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Seventeen days

Called U yesterday
U didn't answer Ur phone
If U're the one who's always lonely
Then I'm the one who's always alone
So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
All I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine
Oh, so let the rain come down

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
why don't U answer Ur phone, babe?
seventeen days
seventeen days
