Lyrics
The Rain Came Down
I'd follow you anywhere
I'd follow you anywhere
Yeah, I'd follow you anywhere, anywhere
It rained last night
And I looked across the road
Saw your eyes
And I looked across the room, yeah, yeah, the rain
And I looked across the room for you
And I know things look bad but I'd follow you anyway
Yeah, and it looks bad but I'll follow you anyway
Follow you anyway, anyway
Yeah, I looked across the room
And I called 911
I'll follow you anyway
Carry your back
I'll hold the road
I'll share the share
I'll bite the dirt
I'll follow you
Do you follow me?
It rained last night
Do you feel lost?
Do you feel afraid?
Do you wonder?
The rain came down all night long
Thunder and lightning everywhere
Woke me up, lights flashing in the room
What was going on?
I looked across the room
I followed you everywhere
Hanging on your whims
Reached for your same star
It took over my life.
And me too, I followed you everywhere
But then, who’s driving the car?
Like a potato sack race
We fumbled our way.
And the rain came down
Cooling diamond teardrops
Steam boiling off our anger
Cools emotion, but not the facts
We don’t want to be here
But can’t admit the same
We both know why,
it’s ancient news
We’ve been catching falling knives
Even injured, we kept crawling along
And somewhere, somehow
We’ve got to draw the line
Put a stake in the ground
And save what’s left
We’ve got to draw the line
Cut losses, and turn away
I’ll still remember the good
And block out the rest
Let’s write a good chapter
An edited story for each our lives
As we age, our lives
Are built more and more on memories
And we have such good in ours
If we let the rest go
I dearly loved those times
Times that sparkled from the rest
Let’s use those times to write the pages
Make our time good for the ages
