[Verse] Umbrella ribs creak like old wooden ships Pavement glistens under streetlight drips Leaves scatter A whispered escape Rain writes stories on windowpane tapes Moss clings tight to the edges of bricks Clock hands stutter in the puddle’s flicks A car horn groans Lost in the haze Autumn’s breath folds the sky in grays [Prechorus] Winds hum low A bassline growl Time bends slow Like a creeping vowel [Chorus] Drizzle and echoes The city's alive Every drop's a memory A heartbeat's drive Catch the rhythm in the rain Let it play Drizzle and echoes Take the day away [Verse 2] Brick walls sweat Their stories untold Chimneys cough clouds Weary and cold A paper boat sinks in a gutter's sigh Dreams dissolve where the shadows lie Echoes of voices in alleyways twist Broken beats in the fog persist Syllables slip on the dampened air Each sound a thread in the fabric we wear
