After the Storm

Gray sheets running down the glass

Minutes turning into hours as they pass

Cold coffee sitting on the sill

The whole world outside is standing still (mm-mm)

I hear the gutter overflow

There's nowhere left I need to

go

Let the rain

wash the pavement clean

Wash away

everything between

Every word

that we left unsaid

All the thunder

inside my head (wash it

clean)

Puddles shining in the driveway lane

Tracing patterns on the windowpane

Heavy air smells like damp pine bark

Sinking softly

into the dark

We spent so

long outrunning the storm

Forgetting the storm could keep us warm

Just let it fall!

Let the rain wash the pavement clean

Wash away

everything between

Every word that we left unsaid

All the thunder

inside my head

Let it fall down

(let it fall down)

(ooh-ooh) Just let it fall
