Cold Rain

How could the rain be boring

With you in it

Hair stuck

Eyes shut

You don’t even flinch

Water on your lashes

Shirt turned to skin

Street all silver

And I’m just drinking you in

How do you breathe so calmly

While the cold rain crawls down your neck

How are you quiet in the thunder

Like nothing can crack your chest

You stand there

Stone and steady

While I’m shaking in my hands

Why so cold

Like a rock in the river

I just wanna understand

Drops trace your jawline

Every line

Every mark

You laugh at the shiver

Say the chill’s just a spark

You say

“Let it burn through

Wash off what it can”

I watch your lips barely moving

While I’m sinking where I stand

How do you breathe so calmly

While the cold rain crawls down your neck

How are you quiet in the thunder

Like nothing can crack your chest

You stand there

Stone and steady

While I’m shaking in my hands

Why so cold

Like a rock in the river

I just wanna understand

Maybe you freeze to feel something

Maybe you learned not to feel at all (oh)

I’m here

Soaked in your silence

Waiting for the water to fall

How do you breathe so calmly

While the cold rain crawls down your neck

How are you quiet in the thunder

Like nothing can crack your chest

You stand there

Stone and steady

While I’m shaking in my hands

Why so cold

Like a rock in the river

Let me pull you from the sand (hey)

Why so cold

Rock in the river

Put your heart in my hand
