Rain at the turn

Rain taps against the pavement, Veiling the courtyard in a mist. I walk, counting my steps; The city keeps a steady beat. Names dissolve in the windows, The chill of a dream rests on my palms. And your silhouette—like a sign— Suddenly appeared right there on the corner. [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Don't rush" (don't rush) And the streetlights seemed to lean into the silence. I replied, "Wait" (wait) But there was no turning back—look. [Chorus] Rain at the turn (rain at the turn) You—and everything in motion (everything in motion) The world spun off its axis When you said, "Go" Rain at the turn (rain at the turn) My heart set free (set free) I wasn't looking for you, But I lost myself in you [Verse 2] You laughed, pushing back your hood, And the asphalt glowed like a dream. My transit pass was crumpled in my pocket, But all I needed was your gaze. The tram carved a wet arc, Alleys held the sound close. And in the crowd, where everyone sleeps, You ignited a new rhythm in me. [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Don't rush" (don't rush) And the streetlights seemed to lean into the silence. I replied, "Wait" (wait) But there was no turning back—look. [Chorus] Rain at the turn (rain at the turn) You—and everything’s in motion (everything’s in motion) The world spun off its axis When you said, "Go" Rain at the turn (rain at the turn) My heart is free (is free) I wasn't looking for you, But with you, I lost myself [Bridge] And if the neighborhood scatters us tomorrow, I’ll still recognize your tone. In every window where the water trembles, That night will remain—forever. [Final Chorus] Rain at the turn (rain at the turn) You—and everything’s in motion (everything’s in motion) The world spun off its axis When you said, "Go" Rain at the turn (rain at the turn) My heart is free (is free) I wasn't looking for you, But with you, I lost myself
