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
