lyrics

Late one night, through the fog before my eyes
I’ve been down this road before
But something is different, you seem a little unsure
He walks alone with nowhere to go

And we cry to the black holes in the night
No sign of relief, no change in the wind
And the colors that surround you are waiting for the last drop
Please lie to me a little longer, and I promise you,
I promise you, I promise I won’t tell

‘Cause there’s so much more that you need to know
And there’s so much more that I’d like to give
There’s no reason to live the way that you do
And it’s so hard to swallow this down
And it’s been so hard since she’s gone away
And I know that things are different now
But you’ve gone to far, and baby, you can’t stop the rain

Knocking at your door, no answer to be given
When all is said and done, only questions remain
Wasted in the afternoon, what better way to be?
Take a look around you, ‘cause I promise you,
I promise you, I promise you can’t hide

‘Cause there’s so much more that you need to know
And there’s so much more that I’d like to give
There’s no reason to live the way that you do
And it’s so hard to swallow this down
And it’s been so hard since she’s gone away
And I know that things are different now
But you’ve gone to far, and baby, you can’t stop the rain
