[Intro] Tick… tick… The sky forgot which way to cry. [Verse 1] Streetlights blur in a silver haze, Calendar ash in the alleyways. A whisper runs through the telephone wire: “The rain climbs up… the world’s on fire.” Gold tastes sweet and bread tastes strange, Minds bend first when the eras change. Everybody smiles like they’ve seen the end— Nobody knows what comes again. [Pre-Chorus] And I hear the thunder counting backward, I hear the minutes split apart. The sky turns over like a wound, And history forgets my heart. [Chorus] When the rain falls up, when the clocks unwind, Who will hold my name when it leaves my mind? When the streets dissolve and the years go blind, Will there be a light that survives the night? Oh—Storm, don’t take it all, Don’t turn love into a ghost. When the rain falls up… Tell me what remains. [Verse 2] Windows shake with a fever dream, Coins look warm like a meal once seen. Voices call from a vanished year, Soft and wrong and far too near. Some are taken without a sound, Erased where they were standing proud. Some still pray, some still run— But you can’t outrace a broken sun. [Pre-Chorus] And I feel the skyline breathing slower, Like the whole world’s learning how to drown. One more heartbeat, one more second— Then the past comes crashing down. [Chorus] When the rain falls up, when the clocks unwind, Who will hold my name when it leaves my mind? When the streets dissolve and the years go blind, Will there be a light that survives the night? Oh—Storm, don’t take it all, Don’t turn love into a ghost. When the rain falls up… Tell me what remains. [Bridge] Maybe time is only a wound in the air, Maybe memory is the last true prayer. If the world is torn from the hands of dawn, I will sing so something carries on. Through the static, through the blue, Through the years unmaking you— I will call, I will call, I will call your name, Even if the sky forgets the same. [Final Chorus] When the rain falls up, when the clocks unwind, I will hold your name though it leaves my mind. When the streets dissolve and the years go blind, I will be the spark that survives the night. Oh—Storm, you took so much, But you won’t take all of me. When the rain falls up… I remain. [Outro] Tick… tick… The sky forgot which way to cry.
