Like a deer in the headlights,
I stood frozen in my tracks
And the weight of the news, it nearly broke my back
It was late september, and I remember oh so well
I put a rose in the bible and placed it upon my shelf
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Back then when we were 17
Time was on our side
Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams
The future was Friday night
And we would hangout down by the riverbed
Singing our favorite songs
Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin
Now those days are gone
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I now know for sure
Like a deer in the headlights,
I stood frozen in my tracks
And the weight of you not here
Nearly broke my back
And the tears they fell like a monsoon
Underneath the cold full moon
Somehow God put his hands on your shoulders
Way too, way too soon
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now
No I didnt know now
What I knew before
