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
