Rain Boots
from Short Stories Vol. II by Suitcase Runaway
lyrics
It was completely different.
She was my friend, you see.
You might not understand,
But it's a simple thing.
She was my first love.
You are my first lover.
She played cards on my rug.
You woke up in my covers.
Old faces will linger,
No matter how many new ones fall in their place.
Delicate art of suppression,
But the memories will always remain.
Destiny is just hoping for things to appear.
This city is starting to take its toll on me,
And everyone I've come to know.
And in the rain, we shiver,
To try to protect the warmth in our bones.
Inseparable, now we're parted.
When I left, it wasn't to escape.
I won't forget where we started.
Your spark made me feel unscathed.
Now I know I can carry the weight.
Part of me hopes that nothing will change if we meet again.
It might feel like everything's ending,
But you still have your skin to cling to.
Trust me when I tell you it'll be okay to start new.
And it's a free-for-all summer,
Just like the ones I used to know.
We'll face the darker days and morning haze with rain boots,
And some wonder.
She was my friend, you see.
You might not understand,
But it's a simple thing.
She was my first love.
You are my first lover.
She played cards on my rug.
You woke up in my covers.
Old faces will linger,
No matter how many new ones fall in their place.
Delicate art of suppression,
But the memories will always remain.
Destiny is just hoping for things to appear.
This city is starting to take its toll on me,
And everyone I've come to know.
And in the rain, we shiver,
To try to protect the warmth in our bones.
Inseparable, now we're parted.
When I left, it wasn't to escape.
I won't forget where we started.
Your spark made me feel unscathed.
Now I know I can carry the weight.
Part of me hopes that nothing will change if we meet again.
It might feel like everything's ending,
But you still have your skin to cling to.
Trust me when I tell you it'll be okay to start new.
And it's a free-for-all summer,
Just like the ones I used to know.
We'll face the darker days and morning haze with rain boots,
And some wonder.
