raindrops

Yeah… Raindrops on the dash, I ain't blinked in an hour Memory lane got a grip, got power Heart like a ghost, got a chill in the wind If I could go back, would I do it again? --- [Verse 1 – paint the picture] Backseat of a midnight drive, Tears in her eyes, but she said she’s fine Neon lights in the rearview blinkin’ I was too numb, too lost in my thinkin’ She said, “Why you always hide from love?” I said, “Pain got hands and it fits like a glove.” She laughed, but it sounded like thunder We were fallin’ apart, I was still tryna wonder… Why her smile felt like a trap Why my heart beat slow when she sat on my lap Told her, “I’m a storm, you should run from that” She said, “I love the rain, baby, I’ll come back.” --- [Hook – big melodic delivery] Ooh, I’m ridin’ with my past in the passenger seat Every mile I go, feel it draggin’ my feet Took a wrong turn, now I’m lost in me All I see is her eyes when I try to breathe Said I’d change but I broke that vow Now I’m screamin’ her name with the windows down Only ghost in my lane is the love I drowned Ain’t no light in my heart, just a blackout town --- [Verse 2 – climax of the story] Flashback to that late July She stood at the edge like she wanted to fly Said, “You don’t know pain 'til you’ve said goodbye To someone who ain’t dead but won’t reply.” Man, I froze in that moment All the “forever”s we spoke felt stolen We were stars in a war with no sky Burned out bright in a blink, no time Now I ride alone with a seatbelt ghost Bottle on E, but I drink that hope Mirror cracked like the lies I told And I still wear her name like a chain of gold Even angels fall when they kiss the fire Even devils cry when they lose desire She was heaven in a hellbound ride And I still hear her voice every time I drive --- [Hook – repeat with more power and layered harmony] Ooh, I’m ridin’ with my past in the passenger seat Every mile I go, feel it draggin’ my feet Took a wrong turn, now I’m lost in me All I see is her eyes when I try to breathe Said I’d change but I broke that vow Now I’m screamin’ her name with the windows down Only ghost in my lane is the love I drowned Ain’t no light in my heart, just a blackout town --- [Outro – faded melodic echo] Midnight drive with the rain on my skin… Wishin’ I could hold her hand again But the road keeps goin’, it never forgives… Guess some stories just don’t get to end…
