It ticks just like a Timex, it never lets up on you
Who said life was easy - the job is never through
It'll run us 'til we're ragged, it'll harden our hearts
And love could use a day of rest before we both start falling apart


I pray that it's raining on Sunday, stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday can take care of itself
'Cause we've got better things that we can do
When it's raining on Sunday


Your love is like religion, a cross in Mexico
And your kiss is like the innocence of a prayer nailed to a door
Oh surrender is much sweeter when we both let it go
Let the water wash our bodies clean and love wash our souls


And pray that it's raining on Sunday, stormin' like crazy
And we'll hide under the covers all afternoon
And baby whatever comes Monday can take care of itself
'Cause we've got better things that we can do
When it's raining on Sunday


I pray that it's raining on Sunday, stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday can take care of itself
'Cause we've got better things that we can do
When it's raining on Sunday


I dunno how ya did it. Hell, I don't really care. I had the weekend off and somehow you managed to convince them that you needed a couple days off too. So now I'm layin' here in your bed, listenin' to the rain hit the windows, and watchin' you sleep. That's one a my favorite things to do, ya know - watch you when you don't know I'm doin' it.

Right now, you got this little smile goin' on, and ever once in a while, you kinda chuckle in your sleep, and I wonder what you're dreamin' about. I hope it's me. I know I make ya crazy sometimes. I can see it in your eyes, when I do somethin' that ain't quite right. But, you love me anyway, and ya put up with it over and over again.

I keep thinkin' about us. You. Me. Us. We been doin' this for years, livin' for the moments we can be together, without havin' to pretend we're somethin' we ain't. Ya know, like normal brothers. I just tell ya that normal is overrated and you always smile, and usually kiss me and tell me that's one a those things you love most about me - the fact that I don't look at things like everbody else in the world.

Just cuz I don't see nothin' wrong with lovin' you the way I do don't make me nothin' special -it just makes me, well, me. Okay, so there were a couple times that one of us had too much to drink and started worryin' about the sin of lovin' each other. We might be damned for eternity, but when we go to hell in a handbasket, at least we're gonna go in style - with Shanny drivin' the damn hot air balloon and Sugar passin' out the snacks.

That's right, big brother. If I'm gonna be sentenced to eternity with anybody, it damn well better be you. I love ya more'n anything on the face of this earth, and if somebody told me I had to choose between lovin' you forever and everything I got right now, ya know exactly what I would do. Nothin' else matters, long as I know I can wake up next to you ever mornin', watch ya dream, then wake you up just like ya like it.

Me and you, we got somethin' special. We can talk about everything and nothin' at all. I don't have to say a word for you to know what's goin' on in my head. Sometimes, all it takes is for you to look at me and know. I remember one time I just finished my match, and it sucked. I mean, totally reeked, as Jay would say. I'd barely walked into the locker room and my phone was ringin'. I didn't even have to look, cuz I knew it was you callin'. I didn't even say hello, just picked up the phone and all ya said was, "It'll be better next time."

How many other people coulda done that? Not a damn one I know of, 'cept you, Matty. Sometimes I wonder if ya know how much I love you, and other times I wonder what the hell I did to have you love me so much. Whatever it is, I hope I can do it again in my next life, so I can love you all over again.

There's a big ol' clap of thunder outside and the lights flicker in the room before goin' out completely. I watch your face and you frown in your sleep and I wanna know what's makin' you sad. If I could step into your dreams, I'd find whoever or whatever upset ya and get rid of it completely. Nothin' gonna make my Matty unhappy, in this world or any other.

I watch the rain fallin' outside and I hope it never stops. As long as it keeps goin', I can lay here with you forever and forget about the world outside this house, this room, this bed, your arms. I try willin' you to wake up with my mind, so I can show you how much I love you. I want you, Matty. I need you. I love you.

One chocolate brown eye pops open, and that smile comes back, reachin' from the corners of your mouth all the way to your eyes. I start to say somethin' and you put your fingers over my lips, stoppin' me. I smile as ya take my hand and kiss my fingers, then slide it under the blanket, lettin' it come to rest on your stomach. Neither of us say anything, cuz there ain't no words needed. 'Sides, it's kinda hard to talk with your tongue in my mouth.

I could do this forever, just lay here, kissin' ya, lettin' my fingers slip inside your boxers and feelin' just how much you love me. But, you break away and look into my eyes, breathin' like ya just ran a marathon, and whisper, "I need you." It don't take me long to get rid of everything standin' in our way, and start lovin' you. I can feel your hands on me, your lips, ever inch of your body against mine.

I don't know what's makin' more noise, the rain outside or you callin' my name. I feel ever inch of your skin tinglin', your muscles tensing, and you…just you, takin' both of us to places nobody else has ever been. I don't ever wanna leave this bed, or you, ever again.

Tomorrow we both gotta catch a plane to different places, and reality is gonna smack us upside the head one more time. But right now, with you movin' underneath me, holdin' on like I'm the last rope between here and insanity, I don't want it to ever end. I hope it rains all day, so we have a good excuse to never leave this bed. I wanna love ya like crazy while I can, cuz Monday's gonna be here way too soon.
