Notebook Full of Rain (Version 2)

Verse 1

Window fogged at half past nine

Amber lamp, a dim design

Puddles holding bits of sky

Steam curls up from cups gone dry

Pen taps soft against the page

Yesterday's a fading stage

Gutters hum their quiet song

Water knows where it belongs

Pre-Chorus

So where do all the storms go

When the thunder's had its say

Maybe here, maybe slow

Maybe this is how it stays

Chorus

Calm after the storm

Notebook full of rain

Ink runs soft and warm

Washing out the strain

Every drop that fell

Settles into gray

Calm after the storm

Feels like today

Verse 2

Sneakers drying by the door

Thunder's just a memory now

Streetlight blinking three times more

Branches bowing, taking bow

Coffee ring on page thirteen

Half a thought I didn't keep

Everything the storm has seen

Folded soft, about to sleep

Pre-Chorus

So where do all the storms go

When the thunder's had its say

Maybe here, maybe slow

Maybe this is how it stays

Chorus

Calm after the storm

Notebook full of rain

Ink runs soft and warm

Washing out the strain

Every drop that fell

Settles into gray

Calm after the storm

Feels like today

Bridge

No need to write the ending down

It's already here

Petrichor and streetlight sound

Nothing left to fear

The sky forgets it ever cried

Puddles turn to glass

Nothing's rushing, nothing's tied

The quiet's built to last

Chorus

Calm after the storm

Notebook full of rain

Ink runs soft and warm

Washing out the strain

Every drop that fell

Settles into gray

Calm after the storm

Feels like today
