The Bell

You came in like a roll of thunder, trying to change the shape of love

Looking for somebody to believe in you for once

How’d the world get so confusing, how’d the ache inside your chest

Go from something beautiful to something dangerous

But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell

But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell

Lit up like a firecracker, you’ve been burning out for years

Nothing left but ruined plastic shells and helpless tears

But oncе you were a brilliant flash, a crash of silver light

Don’t forgеt the way you felt, all hungry and alive

But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell

But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell

I know you’re a crazy dreamer, I know that you still believe

Something good is just beyond the darkness of this dream

And time will tell a softer story, how you climbed above the wire

Held that hammer high above and made the damn thing chime

But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell

But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell
