The Mountains Win Again

Note: I recommend reading through Looks Like Rain below in order to understand the allusions herein.

I pick up my smile
Put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while
Try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry
So how am I to stop it?
Keep it all inside
Don't show how much she rocked ya

Can you feel the same?
You gotta love the pain
It looks like rain again
I feel it coming in
The mountains win again

Dreams we dreamed at night
Were never meant to come to life
I can't understand
The ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life
I was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on
I'll be careful what I share

Can you feel the same?
You gotta love the pain
It looks like rain again
I feel it coming in
The mountains win again

A pocket is no place
For a smile anyway
Someday I will find
Love again will blow my mind
Maybe it will be
That love that got away from me
Is there a line to write
That could make you cry tonight?
