(Verse 1) Paced this floor till the lines wore thin Same thoughts like a song that won’t give in Walls don’t talk but they sure can stare And I’ve been living like I’m not there (Pre-Chorus) Breathing, but it don’t reach deep My mind don’t rest, it don’t sleep (Chorus – HOOK) Oo ooh I need the rain Not the thunder, not the show Just a sound that lets it go Let it fall, let it stain I don’t need answers I need the rain (Verse 2) Coffee cold, night still wide I chase my tail, nowhere to hide Every fix just folds back in Can’t start over, can’t begin (Pre-Chorus) Too tired to scream, too wired to pray I need something to wash this gray (Chorus – Repeat) Oo ooh I need the rain Not the thunder, not the show Just a sound that lets it go Let it fall, let it stain I don’t need mercy I need the rain (Bridge – stripped back, almost spoken) Let it crawl down the glass Like the tears I fake and pass No spotlight, no refrain Just something that don’t explain (Final Chorus – soft but layered) Oo ooh I need the rain Not the cure, not the flame Just a hush that knows my name Let it come, let it stay I don’t want saving I need the rain
