Riddim in the Rain

Verse

Bus stop shelter, amber glow over concrete

Someone's radio bleeding through the traffic machine

Raindrops ticking on the plastic roof line

Half past midnight and the city's mine

Jacket hood pulled up against the drizzle

Passing strangers catching the same rhythm

Tannoy voice cutting through the low end hum

Three stops left before I'm walking home with you

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it now, beneath the hiss and glow

Something pulling us along like the night knows

Say the word and we step off at the right door

Nothing between us but the low frequency roar

Chorus

Riddim in the rain, riddim in my chest

Catch me on the platform where the strobes forget

No words necessary when the drums do all talking

Riddim in the rain, and I know this is it for now

Riddim in the rain, riddim in my chest

Catch me on the platform where the strobes forget

Say nothing back but move your feet closer still

This is the only language we need to fill

Verse

Underpass tunnel lit up orange and white

Someone's umbrella flapping through the night

Your fingers brush mine like a heartbeat found

Two strangers dancing while the bus goes down

Shirt sleeve slipping off my collarbone wet

Pavement glistening where the taxis wait

Doors will open but I'm not ready yet

Let this moment stretch before we're late

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it now, beneath the hiss and glow

Something pulling us along like the night knows

Say the word and we step off at the right door

Nothing between us but the low frequency roar

Chorus

Riddim in the rain, riddim in my chest

Catch me on the platform where the strobes forget

No words necessary when the drums do all talking

Riddim in the rain, and I know this is it for now

Riddim in the rain, riddim in my chest

Catch me on the platform where the strobes forget

Say nothing back but move your feet closer still

This is the only language we need to fill

Bridge

Maybe the city's just a heartbeat away

Every speaker crackling till it all breaks through

Forget the exit, forget the clock and day

Right now this rhythm holds us true

Chorus

Riddim in the rain, riddim in my chest

Catch me on the platform where the strobes forget

No words necessary when the drums do all talking

Riddim in the rain, and I know this is it for now

Riddim in the rain, riddim in my chest

Catch me on the platform where the strobes forget

Say nothing back but move your feet closer still

This is the only language we need to fill
