[Intro] [percussive acoustic guitar strumming with palm-muted thumps] [Verse 1] [male vocals enter] It's raining outside, it's raining outside It's raining outside, it's raining outside And I'm never, I'm never, I'm never coming back again And I'm in it, and I'm in it, and I'm in it But I'm coming home [guitar strumming intensifies] All right [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights smear on the taxi glass Every minute feels like the last Got your name in the notes on my phone Every demo just leads me back home [Chorus] It's a new recording, three-seven-eight Playing back the memories I can't escape Every echo, every drop on the windowpane Says I'm gone, but I'm coming back through the rain New recording, three-seven-eight Heart on the track, but I'm running late [Verse 2] It's raining outside, it's raining outside It's raining outside and I'm falling away Never, never, never coming back again And I'm in it, and I'm in it, and I'm in it But I'm coming home, but I'm coming home [Pre-Chorus] Clock on red, but I still press play Same four chords that I write every day Got your shadow in every refrain Every take is just calling your name [Chorus] It's a new recording, three-seven-eight Playing back the memories I can't escape Every echo, every drop on the windowpane Says I'm gone, but I'm coming back through the rain New recording, three-seven-eight Heart on the track, but I'm running late [Verse 3] [drums settle into a steady groove] It's pouring inside, it's pouring inside All the words that I meant, that I never quite tried Every chorus that broke when I hit that line Every "sorry" I left sitting between the rhymes And I'm in it, and I'm in it, and I'm in it too deep Hit record 'cause these promises don't come cheap [Bridge] [soft fingerpicked guitar, vocal up close] All these late-night takes and half-sung lines Voice notes saved from another time If I hit rewind, will you still be there? In the click, in the hiss, in the midnight air [drums and guitar slowly build] And I'm in it, I'm in it, I'm in it again Chasing you down every bar, every bend [Alt Bridge] [guitars swell, delay on vocal] If this is the last take, let it be true No autotune over what I owe you If the rain cuts out and the tape runs through Let the silence say I still needed you [Chorus] It's a new recording, three-seven-eight Playing back the memories I can't escape Every echo, every drop on the windowpane Says I'm gone, but I'm coming back through the rain New recording, three-seven-eight Heart on the track, but I'm running late [Final Chorus] [full band, harmonies layered] It's a new recording, three-seven-eight Saving all the words that we wrote too late Every echo, every drop on the windowpane Writes us back into the space between the frames New recording, three-seven-eight Heart on the track, let it modulate [Outro] [rain field recording fades in under guitar] It's raining outside, it's raining outside Never, never, never coming back again But I'm in it, yeah I'm in it, I'm in it Fade me out with the storm, let it all descend [final percussive strum, reverb tail into silence]
