Raindrops
Falling to his toes
Wake up when the games stop
He’d watched the sunshine
Watched the flowers grow
Then the rain drops
And all things turn to gray
Running from the rain
A cascade to wash him away
Running with no aim
No hope to find a way

So you kissed away the raindrops

Would you smile for me
Replace the feathers of this broken wing
A smile for free
Sew back together these broken dreams
How afraid could I be
Of nothing that matters
Fearing the shadows
Despite that that’s all that they are
How afraid should I be
When the darkness stretches so far
Threatening to devour the shadows that we are
How afraid would I be
If I’m just climbing up to fall
And your shadow painted on the wall
Reminds me that you’ll catch me if I fall
I’d fear nothing at all

Why can’t I see past what I hope
Why can’t I read what you won’t show
Can’t I be
Any…

But would you want me to cry
Would you want me to say that I’ll change me
To rearrange my mind
Would you want me to lie
Forsake who I am inside
If I can’t make you smile

To cry for me
And not because I’d bleed to save you
Somehow my cold hands warm your heart
It feels like I die
If I can’t make you smile

Raindrops
Falling from the heavens painted gray
Wake up when the pain stops
When all my crimson rage floats away
Yet no matter how hard I run
I can never seem to escape the rain

So you kissed away the raindrops
All alone

Why can’t I see past what I hope
Why can’t I read what you can’t show
Can’t I be
Anything
I tried to wipe away your inky tear
But my hands were just too rough
The darkness smears
Had enough

Your voice
Your eyes
Your smile
Your choices
In times
If I could read your mind
Would you want to dream
And be the sunlight that you breathe
I can see a rainbow
You’re all I need

I wonder if you held out your hand for me
It’s just too dark to see
And it’s okay for you and me
To be
Nothing more than just a dream

So you kissed away the raindrops
All alone
You kissed away the raindrops
To bring me home
So you kissed away the raindrops
You took my fears and made them go
You kissed away the raindrops
And your lips are just as cold
