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

(Huh?)

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
