Water in the wheel wells humming
Water on the windshield drumming
The heat in here is busting at the seams
The road is gleaming
I pull onto your cobbled lane
My bright headlights ignite the rain
The glare spills like a tongue of flame
I stop before your house again
I know you may not be alone
I know there's just a chance to catch you at home
I'll just wait outside and watch the window
And see if I'm not welcome at home
My vision clears with every beat
I step out on the glassy street
The water quickly soaks me through my clothes
Shield me from water
Shield me from this pouring rain
I see your shadow etched in light against the window pane
Water in the wheel wells humming
Water on the windshield drumming
The heat in here is busting at the seams
The road is gleaming
A flash and white noise fill the space
As raindrops spill across my face
As raindrops wash away all trace
I know I should be leaving
I know you may not be alone
I know there's just a chance to catch you at home
I'll just wait outside and watch the window
And see if I'm not welcome at home
When it falls i'll be cleaner
When it falls you surround me
When it falls the pain's receding
When it falls you'll take me home
Shield me from water
Shield me from this pouring rain
I see your shadow etched in light against the window pane
