Sideways in the Rain

[Verse 1] Sleeves rolled Collar soaked through Bus stop shelter Leaking on cue You laugh Say you like the taste Water on your cheeks Like you’re washing off the past [Chorus] We run sideways in the rain Shoes loud on the empty pavement You spin circles Say my name Like it’s something you’re still saving All this falling from the sky Can’t keep up with what I’m chasing We run sideways in the rain Sideways in the rain [Verse 2] Headlights smear Red Then gone Your hand finds mine Then lets go at once You ask “Ever think we missed it?” Thunder answers back Before I can admit it [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Breath fog Cold lungs You shout “This is what young feels like” I nod Pretend I’m not counting every goodbye [whispered vocals] Street drains hum Shirts cling Your mascara starts to stain You say “Promise me you’ll stay” And step out Into the rain [Chorus]
