Nicholas Wells

Close my eyes and you follow me

I'd forgotten the way that I see.

All this time and it's how I live,

Waiting for dreams to give

One more breath of life to you.

 

And I try to resist your hand

You're a painting from where I stand.

But you reach out and touch my face

I can't help but accept your embrace.

Somewhere you are dreaming too.

 

Is anything real when you're here with me?

If I taste your lips, will I ever be free?

And I always knew that you were the one,

But I'll always live in the rain if I'm chasing after the sun.

 

Wrapped up in shades of blue and brown,

The weight of the sky falling down.

With the warmth of the sun on my skin,

Wishing that life could begin

Just one more time.

 

Is anything real when you're here with me?

If I taste your lips, will I ever be free?

And I always knew that you were the one

But I'll always live in the rain if I'm chasing after the sun.

 

And you never will know,

I'm sick of watching you go

While I try to hold on.

But you're fading away

and in the light of day

You're gone.

 

I don't know how you find me here,

Why, come morning, you disappear.

Hear the rain on the road outside

And remember how hard I've tried

To believe it's all okay.

 

Is anything real when you're here with me?

If I taste your lips, will I ever be free?

And I always knew that you were the one

But I'll always live in the rain if I'm chasing after the sun.

 

I always knew that you were the one,

But I'll always live in the rain if I'm chasing after the sun.

I'll always live in the rain if I'm chasing after the sun.
