[Verse 1]
She wakes up on the floor again
Hair in her face, shoes by the sink
Empty pockets, dead phone screen
Same old room, same old stink
Paper cup, burned foil shine
Counting days on a trembling hand
She says, "I can quit by Monday"
But Monday never makes a stand
[Pre-Chorus]
And the mirror keeps her name
Like it knows her by the scars
She’s still waiting for a rescue
That never leaves the bar
[Chorus]
Lost girl, needle rain
Lost girl, call my name
She falls, then she crawls back
Lost girl, needle rain
(Needle rain)
(Needle rain)
[Verse 2]
Train tracks hum through the night
She walks fast with her coat pulled tight
Every face looks sharp and cold
Every promise gone by daylight
Mama’s voice in a cracked-up tape
Says, "Baby, come on home"
She holds that sound like a cigarette
Then lets it burn alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And the street keeps taking more
Than her body can replace
She’s got thunder in her veins now
And a stranger’s hollow face
[Chorus]
Lost girl, needle rain
Lost girl, call my name
She falls, then she crawls back
Lost girl, needle rain
(Needle rain)
(Needle rain)
[Bridge]
If she runs, where does she run?
If she stays, what does she become?
One bright door, one shaking key
One last chance to believe
[Final Chorus]
Lost girl, needle rain
Lost girl, call my name
She falls, then she crawls back
Lost girl, needle rain
Lost girl, needle rain
(Needle rain)
(Needle rain)
