Thunder Knows Your Name [Intro — Whispered] The rain won't let me sleep tonight And neither will the thought of you... [Verse 1] The window shakes, the curtains breathe Another storm is calling me Your side of the bed is cold again I trace the ghost of where you've been A flash of white across the room For half a second, I see you Then darkness takes you back away Like every word we couldn't say [Pre-Chorus] I tell my heart it's just the rain But every drop repeats your name And when the sky begins to break I feel the whole world ache [Chorus] Thunder knows your name tonight Lightning paints you in my mind I close my eyes, but you're still there Like a prayer caught in the air Oh, I could run from every storm But I can't make this heart move on Let heaven fall, let oceans rise I'll still be missing you tonight [Verse 2] Your last goodbye still haunts the walls I hear your footsteps in the halls The clock keeps moving, I stay still A heart can break against its will I wonder if you're lying there Or if she runs her fingers through your hair The thought cuts deeper than the cold Some things the night should never know [Pre-Chorus] I bite my lip, I count to ten Then wish that I could start again But every time the heavens cry I lose you one more time [Chorus] Thunder knows your name tonight Lightning tears across my mind I reach for you through empty air As if your arms could still be there Oh, I could run from every storm But I can't make this heart move on Let heaven fall, let oceans rise I'll still be missing you tonight [Bridge — Stripped Piano] If you could hear me through the rain Would you come running back again? Or am I just a fading sound In a world where you don't turn around? I don't need the sky to clear I just need you standing here But dawn will come, as dawns always do And I'll still wake up wanting you [Final Chorus] Thunder knows your name tonight Every flash brings back your eyes I scream your name, but no one hears The words I've drowned in all these years Let heaven fall, let oceans rise Let every star burn out tonight The storm will fade, the dark will move But nothing stops me missing you [Outro — Whispered] The rain won't let me sleep tonight... And neither will you.
