Praying for Rain - Story Of The Year

I found an angel near the edge

I felt her placed against my skin

I saw the face of God, I know

You’re more than me, I know I need you

When it’s a sound that makes you live

The way the needle breaks the skin

And all I want’s to keep you safe

But how can we go on this way?

Now I’m wide awake, staring at the ceiling

As time is counting my days

Like a tidal wave, tearing me to pieces

As I’m praying for rain to carry me away

It’s a simple life we live

Where every moment’s like a gift

And just a song could help you sleep

But it’s hard to sing with broken wings

Wide awake, staring at the ceiling

As time is counting my days

Like a tidal wave, tearing me to pieces

As I’m praying for rain to carry me away

To carry me away

To carry me away

To carry me away

It’s moments like these

Where I feel like I’m tied to the tracks

And a train is barreling toward me

I can feel its rumble and I can see its lights

But somehow I’m not scared to die

I don’t pray for it to stop, I don’t pray for escape

All I can do is close my eyes and wait

And just moments before it decides

To take my heart, take my blood

I tell myself that it’s only love

Take my heart, take my blood

Cause after all it’s only love

Take my heart, take my blood

It’s only love

We took our time, we turned the page

And now it’s all that still remains

We found the lights, we found our name

I hope we find ourselves again

You broke me down, you fucked me up

But still it never was enough

So take my heart, take my blood

It’s only love

Love!

To carry me away

To carry me away

To carry me away

To carry me away
