Selena Gomez & the Scene - A Year Without Rain
[Verse 1]
Can you feel me when I think about you?
With every breath I take
Every minute, no matter what I do
My world is an empty place
Like I've been wandering the desert for a thousand days (Oh)
Don't know if it's a mirage, but I always see your face, baby
[Chorus]
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain, oh, oh-oh
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 2]
The stars are burning, I hear your voice in my mind
(Voice in my mind)
Can't you hear me calling?
My heart is yearning, like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me, I'm falling
It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
Won't you save me?
There's gonna be a monsoon when you get back to me
Oh, baby
Selena explained to MTV News she named her 2nd album after A Year Without Rain, "because it's the name of the first song I recorded to put on the record. I feel like that song has a lot of meaning, and it also kind of was the start of what I wanted to base all the other songs around. I mean, even down from putting the track listing and numbering it, I wanted to make sure I envisioned [fans] putting it in their car or putting it on their iPod and how I wanted them to listen to the record."
