Rain on the Window

Lyrics

[Intro: rain, soft piano, whispered] (You know what I want...) [Verse 1: male, low and intimate] Rain on the window, she's scrolling alone Glow on her face from the light of her phone Every night, same street, same shadow, same chill She tells herself it's nothing, but she's looking out still Coat black as midnight, mask over my face I learned every route, every lock in this place I never once touched her, I just made sure she's safe She don't know I'm the reason the dark keeps its space [Pre-Chorus: build, 808s enter] She feels me in the hallway, she hears me in the hall She's scared of what I am, but she's waiting for the call [Chorus: full beat, female backing vocals] "What do you want?" she whispers in the dark "You know what I want," been yours from the start She should be running, but she's frozen in place Afraid of the mask, but she's dying to see my face Shh, just breathe, I won't break what I adore I'm the danger at the window and the lock upon your door [Verse 2: half-time, sparse] Three-seventeen and the house holds its breath She turns on the couch and I'm there at her left Hand to her cheek, soft as a vow Thought I came to take her, but I'm shaking right now "Please, don't," so I stop, and I stand in her sight Been watching from the dark, but I'm stepping in the light [Pre-Chorus] She feels me in the hallway, she hears me in the hall She's scared of what I am, but she's waiting for the call [Chorus] "What do you want?" she whispers in the dark "You know what I want," been yours from the start She should be running, but she's frozen in place Afraid of the mask, but she's dying to see my face Shh, just breathe, I won't break what I adore I'm the danger at the window and the lock upon your door [Bridge: beat drops out, spoken, piano only] "I love you" Never said it out loud Every step I followed was me too scared to be found Pull the mask, let it fall, now you know what I'm made of The thing you feared the most was just a man in love [Final Chorus: female lead, full beat, emotional] "What do you want?" now she's asking it soft "You know what I want," and the lights go off She could've run, but she's reaching for me Not afraid of the mask, she's the one holding the key "Okay," she says, "just trust me," she smiled Danger at the window, now she's letting it inside [Outro: whispered, rain fades] You know what I want... You always knew [End]
