Rust in the Rain (version 2)

Verse

You left your umbrella on the porch swing, open to the sky

The rain was coming in like we used to be

Your jacket's still there, your smell's still here

Six years gone and I'm standing at the door

I remember where you kept the spare key

And how you'd always laugh when I forgot it was me

You said goodbye too quietly for a fight

Left me with just this empty streetlight

Pre-Chorus

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night?

Wondering why we let go of something real?

Do you still drive these streets like they're your own?

Is there anywhere I'm going that you used to call home?

Chorus

So what's left of us now? Just rust and rain

We're just ghosts in the headlights, playing out our names

Rust in the rain is all we've got left

And maybe someday I'll find my way back to you again

Verse

Your favorite coffee shop closed down last year

The girl who works there says it's like they vanished here

I still go by for old times' sake

Order a cup that's not yours, just in case

You always said we'd be the kind of friends

Who hold on even when the world ends

But now your number just rings out to thin air

And I'm left wondering if you're ever really there

Pre-Chorus

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night?

Wondering why we let go of something real?

Do you still drive these streets like they're your own?

Is there anywhere I'm going that you used to call home?

Chorus

So what's left of us now? Just rust and rain

We're just ghosts in the headlights, playing out our names

Rust in the rain is all we've got left

And maybe someday I'll find my way back to you again

Bridge

I know we said goodbye was real this time

But it's funny how some streets stay on your mind

Maybe rust is just a kind of memory

A way for old things to still be free

So let the rain wash all our names away

Keep moving forward like there's always tomorrow

Chorus

So what's left of us now? Just rust and rain

We're just ghosts in the headlights, playing out our names

Rust in the rain is all we've got left

And maybe someday I'll find my way back to you again
