Waiting for Rain

Through a window we are perfect

And I like it that way

But behind closed doors a lot can change

I’m not saying that’s how we are

But I’ve been burned before

Now I’m always listening for storms

In a photo we are happy

And I’m glad to say

That if a picture is worth a thousand words

Then these are all true

But there’s thunder in the distance

I know that score

Because I’ve already lived through a storm

In reflections we are smiling

But I’m starting to fear

That if your lips are glazed in honey

There must be poison near

Because your tongue is silver

Each word a lie

And lightning strikes evermore

The closer we get to the storm

In videos we are laughing

No one around can tell

That your whispered sweet nothings

Toll like a death knell

Our world is crumbling

I guess I’m partially to blame

Because our spirits are dimming

Both our hearts equally torn

And now we’re living in the storm
