Dodging Raindrops

from Evaluating Expressions by Closer Than We Appear

/

lyrics

I pick up the phone at 11:03 in the morning
Get the dial tone, as the rain resumes its pouring
And the numbers light up like the satellites in the night skies
Tracing their previous paths like the tiny ripples inside your eyes

And I start dodging raindrops
The water passing by
Yes, I start dodging raindrops
I see your deep blue eyes

The phone rings at ten past, and I smile when I realize it’s your voice
You’re saying over and over again, but I cannot accept that it’s your choice
All that we had, all the thousands of things that we’ve been through
Thrown into the trash, with the countless questions I’d wished I had asked

And I start dodging raindrops
The water passing by
Yes, I start dodging raindrops
I see your deep blue eyes

You were the best thing that’s happened to me
And you slowly drove me away
From those cold days out in the caves
On the far side, the far side of town
As you’re helping me up from the ground
And I held you close

And we’re spinning round
And we’re spinning round
And we’re spinning
We’re spinning
We’re spinning round again

Nothing hurt like what you said
As I rolled onto the cold side of the bed
Thoughts of you fade and disappear
Like trying to pull a dream out of your head

I walk to the window
And I stare into space through the scratched-up glass
I see the storm has passed
And I decide that I will do the same
