V4.5-ALL

[Intro] Click-clack, rain against the glass, Ink on the page, memories in the past. Turn that damage into something new, Red dirt, storm clouds, me and you. [Verse 1] Mud on my boots in your kitchen Steam from the pot, toast burnin' Dog by the door still itchin' Storm out front just churnin' You got flannel sleeves rolled halfway Lip curled up like a dare You slam that cupboard sideways Say, "We stuck, you stuck right here" [Chorus] Rain on the dashboard, thunder in my chest We fight like a wildfire, kiss like we’re blessed Cozy little war in this farmhouse cage Soft hands, hard words, same page, same rage Rain on the rooftop, heartbeat loud and rough We built this quiet life, it still gets loud enough If the sky wanna break, let it break all day We’re raised on red dirt, we don't wash away [Verse 2] Coffee in a chipped blue mug You spike it just to feel tough (yeah) Laugh when you call my bluff Pull me close, then you rough me up Old six-string on the sofa You strum fast, I spit that verse Sweet tea, salt on your shoulder You say love's a blessing and a curse [Pre-Chorus] I used to count every crack in me, Every hard night like a numbered memory. Now I turn those pages, line by line, Making something beautiful from the wreckage behind. [Chorus] Rain on the dashboard, thunder in my chest We fight like a wildfire, kiss like we’re blessed Cozy little war in this farmhouse cage Soft hands, hard words, same page, same rage Rain on the rooftop, heartbeat loud and rough We built this quiet life, it still gets loud enough If the sky wanna break, let it break all day We’re raised on red dirt, we don't wash away [Verse 3] I keep old memories tucked in a drawer, Numbers and notes from the girl I was before. Every mistake was a lesson I saved, Every lost dream became something I could reshape. Blue light glowing on my tired face, I used to study every message for a trace. Now I see the pattern, I understand the math Some roads break your heart before they lead you back. Then I step outside with my boots in the clay, Let the rain wash the old numbers away. I don't need to erase every scar I've known, They remind me how far I've grown. [Chorus] This that damage arithmetic, Turning every hard year into something I can live with. Every crack, every piece of my spirit, I add it up and realize I'm still here in it. From the quiet to the frantic, I make art from the panic. If my heart has a limit, I'll push right through it That's damage, that's damage arithmetic. [Bridge] Yeah, we slam doors, then we slow dance Bare feet, cold floor, second chance (ooh) Lightning flash on your tired face You grin like, "Girl, we were made for this place" Storm might scream, but it can’t drown out Your shaky laugh when you calm me down Long as that sky keeps fallin' gray I’ll choose you, choose this, every rainy day Count it up One for the nights that taught me, Two for the dreams that couldn't hold me, Three for the roads I thought would end me, Still I rise, still I rewrite the ending. Every misstep became another measure, Every hard lesson became something I treasure. I’m not the sum of everything I survived I'm the woman who kept choosing to stay alive. [Final Chorus] Rain on the dashboard, thunder in my chest We fight like a wildfire, kiss like we’re blessed Cozy little war in this farmhouse cage Soft hands, hard words, same page, same rage Rain on the rooftop, heartbeat loud and rough We built this quiet life, it still gets loud enough If the sky wanna break, let it break all day We’re raised on red dirt, we don't wash away [Outro] Rain keeps tapping like a metronome, Red dirt underneath me, this farmhouse home. I count what I've lost, then I count what I've gained, Every little number led me through the rain. Damage turned to rhythm, Pain turned into art, And every storm that tried to break me Only taught me how to start.
