Running From the Rain

There was a sound
Split all the heavens apart
In on the northern view
Out in the southern spark
Oh, I will be with you, running from the rain

When it reaches the end of the line
See myself reflected in the broken glass
As the gates come crashing down
There is blood on the tracks tonight
And rust inside our veins
Will it ache every time I feel the storm
Running behind me?

There were some younger kids who followed the tracks that day
It was a passing afternoon that came and took them all away
So we forgot our names lying in the tall grass
Underneath the billboard dreams
Oh, I will be with you, running from the rain

When it reaches the end of the line
See myself reflected in the broken glass
As the gates come crashing down
There is blood on the tracks tonight
And rust inside our veins
Will it ache every time I feel the storm?

It's running all over
It's running all over
It's running all over
It's running all over me
Running from the rain
Running from the rain

(See the steam in the distant hills)
(See the rooftops glitter in the sun)
Running from the rain
(Hear the summer, counting down, running out)
Running from the rain
(Operator, operator, did you stay awake)
(Hen you got that call your brother made?)
Running from the rain
(You're sick of running and you know it's true)
(You're coming back)
Running from the rain
