[intro]

[verse 1: Dave Ronderos]
Let me tell you I've been down a while
There was a time when I couldn't even buy a smile
And believe me, I tried in my own silly ways
And yet the sun came up every single day
Just to mock me and remind me that I wasn't okay
And that I'm not all I thought I was cracked up to be

But anyway man, I was down so low
That I had to climb up just to dig a hole
And I did, and I fell in
And I ended up right back where I started
Way down, so low

But there's something liberating about losing everything you own
Or even thought that you did, or that you thought you had under control at one time

Let me tell you right now
Everything needs rain to grow

[hook]
It just happens to be, unconditionally
The water will always flow
Down, down, down, down where it's low

[verse 2: Dave Ronderos]
'Cuz when everything is great, you think you're doing just fine
It's like a tree planted on top of a hill in the sunshine
But a tree isn't really like you and me
'Cuz it's got so many limbs and all of those leaves

And the hill doesn't move out from under the feet of a tree
When it least expects it to be

So I guess that our lives are more like roller coaster rides
Or at least that's how mine sure feels to me sometimes
Or maybe it's more like clouds rolling by
And sometimes the grey ones can fill up the whole sky
And it rains

People let me tell you right now
Everything needs rain to grow

[hook]
It just happens to be, unconditionally
The water will always flow
Down, down, down, down where it's low
