It's a rainy day and the air is cold
I fix myself a warm tea
the steam swirls around my nose
the sound of wind and rain tuck me in
like the soft tune of a lullaby
i take the orange blanket for some protection
from the inequities and all the fights
but it only gets better when you hug me
it only gets better when you're around
but i only gets better when you hug me
it only gets better when you're around
I might try a new game for some distraction
I could learn a hard song or play the bass
I could look out of the window
and watch the rain pass by
but it only gets better when you hug me
it only gets better when you're around
but i only gets better when you hug me
it only gets better when you're around
