Rainfall, fire escape
Risking hope and heart to
Light comes slow and easy
On our faces as we stand,
Testing my self-restraint.
On our way back to a home we left
And our old empty place will still catch my breath,
So pull me up on the counter
Where you welcome in my arms.
Where would I be without you?
Lights dim, it's getting late.
Hold me back from the same mistakes.
I still need you now,
From some thousand miles away.
We went, just the same.
(Chorus)
Careful steps, stand up tall.
A final dance, a curtain call.
You pull me back to arms
I guess are stronger from it all.
