Streetlights shiver on the flooded asphalt
Your coat is soaking through and so is mine
We watch our words turn into cold grey smoke
Running out of road running out of time
I feel your trembling fingers searching for my hand
Two restless shadows in a drowning land
The sky is heavy and the wind is wild
Every falling drop is washing down the past
If the world is turning into broken glass
Promise me you’ll hold on till the last
Tear the breath from my lungs while the cold heavens bleed
Drown me in your arms let the storm take it all
We are lovers in the rain standing in the flood
With lightning racing through our tired blood
If tomorrow never comes to clear the sky
Wash away the heartbreak don’t you say goodbye
Neon signs are bleeding amber in the puddles
Reflecting all the promises we kept and broke
You pull me closer beneath the battered umbrella
Finding quiet shelter where we barely spoke
Your heartbeat is a steady drum inside the dark
A fragile fire from a dying spark
The sirens fade out in the distant town
There’s nowhere left to run nowhere left to hide
Just you and me against the rising tide
With the whole cold universe pushed aside
Tear the breath from my lungs while the cold heavens bleed
Drown me in your arms let the storm take it all
We are lovers in the rain standing in the flood
With lightning racing through our tired blood
If tomorrow never comes to clear the sky
Wash away the heartbreak don’t you say goodbye
Let it pour let it drown out the noise
Every tear disguised as rain
We were lost but I can hear your voice
Echoing through all this holy pain
Through all this holy pain!
Tear the breath from my lungs while the cold heavens bleed
Drown me in your arms let the storm take it all
We are lovers in the rain standing in the flood
With lightning racing through our tired blood
If tomorrow never comes to clear the sky
Wash away the heartbreak don’t you say goodbye
Just lovers in the rain
