I see you pacing there, a hand pressed to the glass. Waiting for a signal that I'm too scared to pass. My throat is tight with words I swallowed time ago, Afraid that if I speak, the whole thing might... collapse. You're holding up your chin, refusing to look down, While I'm gripping the railing, wearing my own crown. We're both waiting for the other to make the first move, Two stubborn statues with nothing left to prove. [Pre-Chorus] But the rain is coming down, it doesn't care who wins, It washes off the armor, it strips the pride from skins. It sees the crack in your mask, the tremble in my hand, And pulls the heavy silence right out of the sand. It knows we want to cross, but we're too proud to swim, So it waits to wash the ego out of us... bit by bit. [Chorus] Oh, let the water break the dam, let it flood the street, Let it soak the ground until the pavement meets the deep. It scrubs the rust right off the iron in our veins, Washes out the pride, the panic, and the pains. No lie is too old for the current to dissolve, No wall is too high for the river to resolve. It takes the "I won't yield," the "I won't say," And drags the stubbornness away, far away. [Verse 2] You're down in the valley, staring up at my height, Thinking I'm too high above to ever see the light. You think I don't care, that I'm too busy, too grand, But I'm just terrified to let go of the land. We're both playing a game where the prize is losing face, Running in circles in this empty, frozen space. If I step off the ledge, I lose the ground I know, If you climb up the tower, you risk the fall below. So we stand still, two kings on thrones of dust and stone, Refusing to admit that we're both completely alone. [Pre-Chorus] But the rain is coming down, it doesn't care who wins, It washes off the armor, it strips the pride from skins. It sees the crack in your mask, the tremble in my hand, And pulls the heavy silence right out of the sand. It knows we want to cross, but we're too proud to swim, So it waits to wash the ego out of us... bit by bit. [Chorus] Oh, let the water break the dam, let it flood the street, Let it soak the ground until the pavement meets the deep. It scrubs the rust right off the iron in our veins, Washes out the pride, the panic, and the pains. No lie is too old for the current to dissolve, No wall is too high for the river to resolve. It takes the "I won't yield," the "I won't say," And drags the stubbornness away, far away. [Bridge] If the ocean rose up to kiss the highest spire, It wouldn't ask for permission, it wouldn't care for fire. It would just pour over the top, white and wild and deep, And bury all the reasons that we couldn't keep. The foam would cover up the tracks of our refusal, The mud would smooth the edges of our stubborn muscle. It's not a punishment, it's just a way to start, To scrub the old skin off and leave a brand new heart. The water knows the weight of every "I'm too good to try," And carries it away, so the truth can finally fly. [Chorus] Oh, let the water break the dam, let it flood the street, Let it soak the ground until the pavement meets the deep. It scrubs the rust right off the iron in our veins, Washes out the pride, the panic, and the pains. No lie is too old for the current to dissolve, No wall is too high for the river to resolve. It takes the "I won't yield," the "I won't say," And drags the stubbornness away, far away. [Post-Chorus] Flow, just flow, through the cracks in the stone, Take the pride, take the fear, take the weight of the unknown. Flow, just flow, with a rhythm so deep, Wash the "I won't" away, while the rest of the world sleeps. [Verse 3] The rain has stopped, the air is thin and clear, The water's done its work, the path is finally here. I see you stepping forward, leaving the gate behind, No more hiding in the shadows, no more playing blind. You call my name, the sound cuts through the quiet air, A simple, broken sentence, but it's the only thing we need to share.
