Back Home In The Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cheap mascara Running down her cheek Taxi splashes Cold up to her knees Neon menu Glowing through the steam She checks her phone again Then tucks it in her jeans [Chorus] So she walks back home in the rain Heart in her throat Dragging that pain Every red light Feels like his name Shiver so deep it won’t fade Flood on the curb Flood in her veins Nothing looks different But everything changed [Verse 2] Takeout places Closing one by one Plastic roses Wilting in the front His old jacket Heavy on her frame Smells like his cigarette And yesterday [Chorus] So she walks back home in the rain Heart in her throat Dragging that pain Every red light Feels like his name Shiver so deep it won’t fade Flood on the curb Flood in her veins Nothing looks different But everything changed [Bridge] She whispers “I’ll be fine I’ll be fine someday” Steps through a puddle Washes off his face Keys in her pocket Hands start to shake Door in the distance She’s almost safe [Chorus] Still she walks back home in the rain Heart in her throat Soft on the brakes Every red light Losing his name Shiver still there but starting to fade Street full of water Learning her shape Nothing looks different But she’s not the same
