We Ran Out of Rain

Verse

Tin roof drumming on the carport ceiling

July soaking through your cotton sleeve

Lightning bugs like sparks caught in a bottle

We stacked up mason jars and let them leave

Your boots left prints along the flooded gravel

I traced your name in fog on window glass

Thunder rolling out somewhere past the hayfield

We swore we'd make this summer last

Pre-Chorus

But the clouds keep thinning

Sky's turning clear and wide

So how do we keep spinning

This feeling deep inside

Chorus

We ran out of rain

But not the way it felt

Sun came back again

Still the thunder's what I held

Every drop that dried up on the porch swing

Left a warmth I can't explain

Some things you don't lose to weather

We just ran out of rain

Verse

September now, the ditches turned to dust roads

Cricket static where the storm used to be

You still hum that tune from off the transistor

Like static's just another melody

I keep one jar half-full on my dresser

Watch the fireflies flicker slow and thin

Not the same, but somehow still the same song

Playing underneath my skin

Pre-Chorus

And the clouds keep thinning

Sky's turning clear and wide

So how do we keep spinning

This feeling deep inside

Chorus

We ran out of rain

But not the way it felt

Sun came back again

Still the thunder's what I held

Every drop that dried up on the porch swing

Left a warmth I can't explain

Some things you don't lose to weather

We just ran out of rain

Bridge

Maybe holding on was never

About the storm at all

Maybe it was you beside me

Watching lightning fall

The sky forgets, the ground remembers

Every puddle, every stain

I don't need the clouds to prove it

I just need you to stay

Chorus

We ran out of rain

But not the way it felt

Sun came back again

Still the thunder's what I held

Every drop that dried up on the porch swing

Left a warmth I can't explain

Some things you don't lose to weather

We just ran out of rain

We just ran out of rain
