Rainy Boots

Rainy boots

And I think they drowned instead of me

I'll play this scene and take the grief

To the place it seems I can never be and

Rainy boots

I wanna dance with every beat

That steps and keeps the words that leap

Right beneath their feet in a hold they can't leave

Rain in the city will leave

Scents of melancholy

The sun will push through and peek

'Round clouds as they flee

Gazing at the tears that increase

It sees as it rises from a heavy sleep

That path that you take after rain

It's a choice that you make

Right by your feet where you stay

It's wet and can't be safe

Watch where you walk on your way

So you don't step into the mud today

Before you even know, listen close

Take their home, shoes I loved most

I will hold the words you told

And they'll go anywhere they're thrown

Now if you dread that you're set

On a bus that's late again

Jump ahead on the little bouncing tears I shed

And rhythm I felt back then

Rainy boots

And I think they drowned instead of me

I'll play this scene and take the grief

To the place it seems I can never be and

Rainy boots

The sound that steps on words that leap

Rings loud and deep and can't be beat

Like my heart I keep within my dreams

Jump and jump, but I can't seem to leap

This earth is being mean, I plead, but I can't leave

Because it grabs and holds me

I step and step, it's hard to move my feet

I dance so silently so I don't fall too deep

Within the rain and see grief

Rain leaves, in the streets, puddles, it seems, and I see

You sink, but just how deep could you still live and breathe?

Always, caught up in rain, coming in waves, and yet

A few will say it's still okay not to wear them at all today

After rain, stay brave, saving the day

Watch me claim the thoughts you gave

And I'll play with the words you say

And now again, the train is set

It's full and we can't control them

Jump ahead on the little bouncing tears we shed

And rhythm felt back then

Rainy boots

And I think they drowned instead of me

I'll play this scene and take the grief

To the place it seems I can never see and

Rainy boots

I wanna dance with every beat

That steps and keeps the words that leap

Right beneath their feet in a hold they can't

Jump and jump, but I can't seem to leap

Here lies a sorry street, but leave it up to me

I'm used to all these things I see

I step and step, it's hard to move my feet

I sing so silently so I don't feel unclean

Within this rainy dream

Jump and jump, but I can't seem to leap

This earth is being mean, I plead, but I can't leave

Because it grabs and holds me

I step and step, it's hard to move my feet

I dance so silently so I don't fall too deep

Within the rain and see grief
