I wish we could’ve enjoyed the rain a little longer
Before a ray of sunshine came your way
and took away your cloudy days with me
We used to splash into puddles
and watch our reflections ripple away
I’m lucky if I feel a drop now a days
A reminder that you’re there
But not here
Playing in the rain with me
A reminder of what things used to be
What I’d do to live another storm with you
A strike of lightning would revive us
or split us like trees
I wish we could’ve enjoyed the rain a little longer
But sunshine came your way

I wish
You’d look up and talk to me
Tap, tap, tap
Gave a few hours of my day to you
You sold your soul to a phone screen
Tap, tap, tap
You type words faster than you say them
and laugh at another conversation
Tap, tap, tap
I sit here patiently while you finish your stories
Maybe I should’ve just sent a message
Tap, tap, tap
12 seconds of my day to you
So you can be where you’d rather be

I wonder if I ever crossed your mind
As seasons came and went
Did you think about what it was like?
How things could’ve been?
Or was it all just weather to you

There’s no more words beyond the lyrics
I see the stage lights reflecting in your eyes..
..briefly before floating into a spaced out crowd
I have a million things to say
But you can’t hear the right words
As long as the music is playing we’re still dancing
But we’re only dancing on the weekends
When you have nothing else to do
Sometimes the music gets too loud
Other times you lose yourself in it
The bass cradles your heart
And you hold mine
But you never hear my song
Only on the weekends

I can never admit the things I wanna say
Never tell you what I feel every day
I close my eyes for just a minute
To picture the life I want with you in it
I’m the place holder in your life
For when you’re feeling lonely
And you can be a ghost
When I’m desperate for somebody
I’m okay if you go away
Because I know you’ll come back some day
At least somewhere in my mind you do
The fool I am is going to wait for you
The closer you get, the further you stray
But I live in my head all day
Otherwise I would see
You are much further than I thought you’d be

Woke up feeling gloom again
When’s this flower going to bloom again?
I’ve been wilting for some time
Just waiting on that sunshine
For its warmth and light
To keep me in this fight
I’ll keep trying until my last petal
Endure until the winds settle
Too many cloudy days yet not enough rain
Too many people saying sunshine’s on its way
I was a beautiful bloom
Overtaken by this gloom
But the sun shines
After stormy skies
Right?
