Stand In The Rain

[Verse 1]
Coat’s soaked through
Collar up, shoes pulling at the street
Cold air cuts
But I don’t move, I just let it hit
Cars pass slow
Everybody hiding from the sky
I stay here
Let the whole gray world drip by
[Chorus]
I just wanna stand in the rain
Soak in every heavy drop
Gloom on my skin, wild in my veins
Wishing all this noise would stop
If I run, if I stay
Either way I’m still unheard
So I just stand in the rain
Till the storm drowns every word (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Dark clouds hang
Like a question no one wants to hear
Street sign swings
Crooked little metronome of fear
My heart hums low
Same note over and over again
Thunder talks
Says more to me than any friend
[Chorus]
I just wanna stand in the rain
Soak in every heavy drop
Gloom on my skin, wild in my veins
Wishing all this noise would stop
If I run, if I stay
Either way I’m still unheard
So I just stand in the rain
Till the storm drowns every word
[Bridge]
[Walking bass solo answers vocal rhythm]
Water in my lashes
Rhythm in the splash and spray
Every crack of distant anger
Almost makes me wanna stay
But my feet keep twitching, twitching
Half to leave, half to remain (yeah)
Caught between the empty shelter
And this crowded, pouring rain
[Chorus]
I just wanna stand in the rain
Soak in every heavy drop
Gloom on my skin, wild in my veins
Wishing all this noise would stop
If I run, if I stay
Either way I’m still unheard
So I just stand in the rain
Till the storm drowns every word

jazz, Smoky jazz-club vibe with upright bass leading restless riffs, brushed drums shifting to aggressive swing in the hook, lonely trumpet answering the vocal lines. Verses stay hushed and intimate; chorus hits with harder groove, tighter bass solo fills between phrases. Male vocals, close-mic’d and raw, with roomy reverb blooming on the word “rain.”, beats, loud
