lyrics

Gently tapping to the sound of
rain flooding in my bedroom from the
defective routing of our eavestrough.
I’m gently tapping to the sound of rain.

I splash from my bedside to the door,
and as I tumble, I grasp at what I’ve hung on the wall:
My pieces of motivation torn to the ground,
they drift off to the edge of my basement sea.

Truly shaking at the sight of
rain quickly rising above my knees.
I stop to think of all I hold close,
I’m gently tapping to the sound of rain.

I take all the time I need to catch my breath.
It’s strange, but I haven’t felt this in touch with the world.
What happened to the days when everything seemed new?
Maybe we should let the flood run its course and see us through.

I guess it takes disaster for me to see
everything I should and shouldn’t be.
If I pay no mind to the water that’s surrounding me,
this is probably the happiest I’ve been.

I’ll be barely finding chances to breathe,
rain washing over like a bad dream.
I won’t be making it back this time,
I’m gently tapping to the sound of rain.
