You showed up in the rain
Falling on me, I should’ve called you
You’re still looking the same
Joys of our youth
Trying to stall new
So hide your smile
Be yourself again
And please tell me why
You’re pouring salt in the wound
The moment I withdrew
And you go digging up our tomb
With flowers yet to bloom
It once felt so right
Now it’s fleeting
You’ve come staking your claim
Bitter and sweet, they must’ve told you
That I’ve been slipping away
Making breakthroughs
Chances are so few
So hide your smile
Be yourself again
And please tell me why
You’re pouring salt in the wound
The moment I withdrew
And you go digging up our tomb
With flowers yet to bloom
And what felt so right
Now it’s fleeting
I don’t know why
We won’t dance anymore
Cursing through the twilight
Spaces open wide
Keep on waiting
Feeling every current
Touching every moment
Hearts creating
So hide your smile
Be yourself again
And please tell me why
You’re pouring salt in the wound
The moment I withdrew
And you go digging up our tomb
With flowers yet to bloom
It’s time for something new
