lyrics

I can feel the magic in the air every time you are around me
Somehow all the colours burst to life even as you walk away
And if you ever need to go your way, well baby I can just imagine
The path is steep but I'll be right behind you if anything happens

And when the lakes are dry, there's nothing left
We can bury all the bottles that we made
And we'll come back and dig up all the love we saved
For a rainy day

It's funny how we used to talk for hours about life and everything
But now I'm sitting next to you and there's not a single word that I could say
And even after all this time I'll always smile when I hear your name
You can call me crazy, but you're the only thing that keeps me sane

And when the sky dark and crashing down
We'll find shelter in the cities that we made
And we'll come out the other side
And welcome in another rainy day

The sun is falling fast
And these wings feel so small
I wonder if the darkness will carry me along

My way
So I can stand before you
Heart in hand and say
This is who I am

The same old things that used to mean the world are full of memories
All the words we spoke have turned to whispers, lost without a feeling
I can only hope to find a way back to where you are
After all is said and done, we could have a brand new start

And when this world is bear and empty still
You can find me here calling out your name
All I ever need is your love
To survive another rainy day
