Riding on the Rain (Version 2)

Verse

Rain washes over the neon skyline

Glass window shakes with every drop that falls

Your hand was mine for one heartbeat, then it's gone

Streetlight hums a lullaby I sing alone

I keep your jacket folded on my lap

Still tastes like salt and citrus where we kissed

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this goodbye feels so much like home

Every scar here proves that you were real to begin with

So maybe heartbreak's just the proof it worked

Maybe breaking up is how a love begins

Chorus

Riding on the rain, watching every street light fade

I'm learning how to let go soft instead of hard

Riding on the rain, carrying you around the block

Turns out the falling hurts more than losing you at all

Verse

Your favorite hoodie still smells like summer heat

Six a.m., the whole world wakes up green

I drive past our corner where we danced to that one song

Now the speakers sit alone under plastic sheet

I let it go, I let it fall apart

It was never mine to hold anyway, just yours from start

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this goodbye feels so much like home

Every scar here proves that you were real to begin with

So maybe heartbreak's just the proof it worked

Maybe breaking up is how a love begins

Chorus

Riding on the rain, watching every street light fade

I'm learning how to let go soft instead of hard

Riding on the rain, carrying you around the block

Turns out the falling hurts more than losing you at all

Bridge

Maybe endings are just maps to something new

A whole city waiting, painted blue

Not yesterday's sun but tomorrow's sky

I'll keep crying now so that I can fly

Chorus

Riding on the rain, watching every street light fade

I'm learning how to let go soft instead of hard

Riding on the rain, carrying you around the block

Turns out the falling hurts more than losing you at all
