Stand

You are the light of my world
No need to try so hard
Dreaming of time on my hands
Changing the ways I fall

I want you
But I don't want your reasons why
You can't even look me in my eyes
I told you
So don't you make me say it one more time, oh, yeah

When you went away
Moonlight took the day
Stars and darkness all collided
In the loneliest of space

Will you stand, stand, stand, stand, stand? Ah
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?

Can you stand the rain?
When summer's gone and
There's no use in
Weighing it out on the time all in vain
Seeping deeper into blame

When you went away
Moonlight took the day
Stars and darkness all collided
In the loneliest of space

When you went away
My universe divided
All that's left is the matter of asking myself

Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?
Or will you falter?
Will you lean into the time that's bending
Never ending, strengthen your heart
Or will you prosper?
Will you recover after all the love
You've lost and lost again?
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand? Ooh
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?

The universe divided over all of me, yeah
And I've been looking deep into my soul
Finding my reflection in the mercury, mercury
And turning my transgressions into gold, whoa, whoa, whoa
Knew you would be miles away, yeah, yeah

Can you stand the pain? Pain, baby
Can you stand?
Can you stand the rain?
Can you stand? Oh, oh
Tell me, can you stand?

When you went to heaven, oh, I knew you would be miles
Oh, I knew you would be miles away, yeah
You couldn't stay, no way, baby
I don't blame you
I won't miss you
Too desperately, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can you stand the rain?
Even through the pain
When they calling you out your name
Oh, you stand the rain even through the pain
When they calling you out your name

Will you stand the rain?
Can you take the pain?

Can you stand the rain?
Make it through all the things they say? Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
