[Intro – Clean Guitar Picking, Rain Fade-Out]
(Soft humming)
The rain just stopped… but it’s still here somehow
---
[Verse 1]
I saw you fade beneath the streetlight
Running from something I couldn't name
The rain didn't hit you—it followed
Like it knew you better than I ever could
Your shadow broke across the road
A fleeting ghost the storm still owed
I reached, but silence beat me there
Left nothing but the midnight air
---
[Chorus – Slow Drum Pulse, Distorted Swell]
And I still see you in the blur
Of headlights caught in water’s stir
A question drawn in citylight
That never got to turn out right
I called your name into the dark
But echoes don’t return the heart
I lost you there, beneath the streetlights
But maybe…
You were never mine to find
---
[Verse 2 – Lower Octave, Sparse Instrumentation]
Your notebook soaked through every page
Like ink could hold that kind of rage
A whisper carved in neon red
You vanished with the words unsaid
No storm could write what you became
Just stains of memory and name
And every light I walk beneath
Still flickers with the ghost of grief
---
[Chorus – Full Instrumental, Strained Vocals]
And I still see you in the blur
Of headlights caught in water’s stir
A question drawn in citylight
That never got to turn out right
I called your name into the dark
But echoes don’t return the heart
I lost you there, beneath the streetlights
But maybe…
You were never mine to find
---
[Bridge – Distorted Guitar Solo, Fading into Silence]
(Instrumental build, thunder rumble in the background)
Maybe you’re just rain that couldn’t stay
Maybe I was just too late to say
---
[Final Chorus – Stripped Down, Raw Vocals]
And I still see you in the blur
Of all the things we never were
A shadow held in halogen
Still waiting to begin again
I lost you there, beneath the streetlights
And maybe…
That’s where the truth hides
---
[Outro – Solo Guitar, Distant Thunder, Reverb Fades]
But not all storms were meant to end
Some just leave us…
Where we began
