8 am alarm goes off “keep it down”
but no one’s there to turn it off when she looks around
the smell of smoke, couldn’t be, just can’t win
no time to lose, get on your feet, luck is wearing thin
out in the cold without a coat the smoke is pouring out
see the flames come through the roof, our place is burning down
the firemen do their best but it’s too late
there isn’t much we can do but sit and wait
chorus:
when you don’t know what to do
and you don’t know where to turn
gotta pick yourself back up
you’ve got another mile to go
breaks my heart to watch it burn and see the flames
what is next? Sifting through insurance claims
it’s all just stuff we didn’t need, can do without
all you’ve done restored my faith without a doubt

when the rain comes down i feel like i’m gonna drown
and every drop will land inside my lungs
when you drive away with nothing much to say
some strange fear says you may not return
chorus:
hold me close, say that you’ll never go
let your sweet lips whisper in my ear
kiss me slow, baby let me know
squeeze me tight, remind me you are near
when the wind blows cold and cuts straight through my bones
my soul it shakes like leaves upon the trees
baby, hold my hand and give me strength to stand
i do not think i’ll make it on my own

i am where you are
and you are here with me
i go where you go
and you come with me
chorus:
i carry your heart inside my heart
the wonder that keeps the stars apart
at the root of the root of a tree called life
whisper your secrets to me
i fear no fate
i want no world
for you are my fate
and you are my world

another summer storm has swept across the state
turning blue skies to grey
clouds break loose and give up the rain
i keep thinking of you today
chorus:
let the rain come down 3x
let it wash us now
do you remember when we ran through the rain...
on that perfect summer day
you were more beautiful than all the things I’d ever seen
you could have chased the clouds away
