[Hook (mxmtoon)]
The weather, oh oh the weather
ruining my plans come on and get it together.
your so mean, so mean.
The weather, oh oh the weather
waiting for the sun but it's not getting better
it's so mean, so mean.

[Verse (samsa)]
i don’t miss the woolen jackets and the winter caps
scratchy scarves, bulky boots, how every day my lips were chapped
my dermatologist’s a firm apologist of winter weather
i used every type of cream and lip balm and i’m still not better
‘side from skin, i don’t miss my itchy thermal sheepskin socks,
i’d been waiting since december for the vernal equinox
and thankfully it’s here, no more driving through the permafrost,
i don’t need a coffee thermos, i can turn my furnace off,
and note to self: i’ve been waiting months for all this snow to melt,
and finally it’s gone and I can venture out of our room
frolic in the foliage, kick back and watch the flowers bloom
and breathe the open air as the heavens shine bright in powder blue
there’s just one little problem though that I didn’t account for
every fucking weather forecast has chance of downpour
just one little issue, and yes, i’m a bit impatient
but i haven’t waited all this time for more precipitation
like weather gods, there’s just one little thought i’m tryna get across,
i don’t expect things perfect but at least just give me better odds,
like lately i’d been hoping that the tones of grey would fade
and that sky would yawn cerulean, not rain on my parade
and I know I’m being harsh on you but I’m not tryna scapegoat
it’d just be nice to go outside without wearing a raincoat
without holding umbrellas,
the sidewalk nice and chalky with no puddles there to waddle through,
wearing nothing waterproof,
but maybe on on the bright side it’s a fair bet
to think the sun is over on her way here but not here yet
so let’s go get our hair wet, fuck it, let’s go dancing in bare feet on the rooftops super carefree
with the patter of the dewdrops as our jukebox,
and run for cover at a nearby coffee shop
where we can dry our parka and our rubberized galoshes off
and we’ll just take a rain check for that picnic in the grass
and sip our lattes by the window as the drizzle hits the glass

[Hook]

[Verse (KiD)]
Okay, so I'm feeling like I took a bit to see the light
Routinely stayed inside so I could keep a peace of mind
But now I stay in fright of white little sparkles in the air
And while I'm waiting for the showers seems these months are ever there
They never go away but sit complacent
Where as I'm wishing I could see the pavement, latent hating
On the continents that feel the burn when school is out and tables turn
Skin hurts and things are said that because the heat just makes you think to
But despite the fact it truly makes you think about the people
And I'm praying to a deity cause recently this weather has me overweight
The perfect time for dates but yet we're snowed in in our place
And it gets cold out when it's late so baby don't forget the blankets
And reminiscing and dreaming can keep us warm for just a while
But darling won't you turn the thermostat right up to winter dial
We can hibernate to skip our fate and jump to summer, first comes spring
But don't forget the droplets and the storming it might bring
I'm exhausted, I'm just wondering when I'll feel the rays again
Maybe never will I see the sun or things that are akin
And yet these google images will only get me oh so far
And yes my thinking may be strewed I know my thoughts may be bizarre
I greet these trials with a smile and grin
for whatever reason
I can keep my calm and know that you'll be there for the seasons that I hate
You could help me hold on so that I could bare the wait
It's understated just as much on how this seasons overplayed

We could stay inside together, you and I in matching sweaters
And though it may just be forever, me and you could beat the weather
Oh I know, that summer time is overdue
But I know I can make it girl as long as it's with you

[Hook]
