[Verse 1] Morning on the tile Your cup still has steam A paper bag by the door And your black inked note to me You left the radio low Like you wanted me to hear The house breathe in the dark And the floorboards count the years [Pre-Chorus] I stood there for a while With the rain against the glass Thinking love was something soft Till I watched it harden fast [Chorus] Hold me in the rain Hold me in the rain Say my name again Hold me in the rain When the night comes down And the whole room shakes I still hear your hand On the windowpane [Verse 2] Your coat still smells like cedar Your boots by the mat I kept the mailbox key Like a promise I could crack There’s a crack in the blue bowl Where we kept the summer plums Now I drink from the chipped side And I taste what we become [Pre-Chorus] I tried to leave it be Let the silence do its thing But every small hard object Turns your shadow back to me [Chorus] Hold me in the rain Hold me in the rain Say my name again Hold me in the rain When the night comes down And the whole room shakes I still hear your hand On the windowpane [Bridge] If you come back changed Bring the thunder with you Bring the train-line ache Bring the bruise we grew through I don't need forever I just need one sign A little warm redemption In the seam of time [Final Chorus] Hold me in the rain Hold me in the rain Say my name again Hold me in the rain When the night comes down And the whole room shakes I still hear your hand On the windowpane Hold me in the rain Hold me in the rain I'll meet you there At the windowpane
