From the recording Discovering Gravity
Lyrics
I've been impatiently waiting
And painfully aware
That my heart continues beating
But my lungs can't find the air
I wrap my empty arms around me
To hold what's left inside
It's like the world has torn me open
And cast my soul aside
And the cold steel rain
Falls from the sky
Can't get through to you
But I'll never let go
Like a ball and chain
Pulling me down
I reach for the surface
But I don't know where to go
Baby all this time
You've always had the best of me
I wish I knew the way
To give you all the rest of me
And underneath the cold steel rain
You walked away
So now you're picking up the pieces
Of the mess I left behind
And your eyes can't hide the damage
That you try so hard to hide
You wrap your empty arms around you
And you wince against the pain
And in your heart you make a promise
That you know you're gonna break again
And the cold steel rain
Falls from the sky
Can't get through to you
But I'll never let go
Like a ball and chain
Pulling me down
I reach for the surface
But I don't know where to go
Baby all this time
You've always had the best of me
I wish I knew the way
To give you all the rest of me
And underneath the cold steel rain
You walked away
And as the rain comes down
The world looks all brand new
And as the rain comes down
I wanna take all your pain away
And as the rain comes down
Let it take pain from you
And the cold steel rain
Falls from the sky
Can't get through to you
But I'll never let it go
Like a ball and chain
Pulling me down
I reach for the surface
But I don't know where to go
Baby all this time
You've always had the best of me
I wish I knew the way
To give you all the rest of me
And underneath the cold steel rain
Don't walk away
And the cold steel rain
Falls from the sky
Can't get through to you
But I'll never let go
There's a ball and chain
Pulling me down
I reach for the surface
But I don't know where to go
Baby all this time
You've always had the best of me
I wish I knew the way
To give you all the rest of me
And underneath the cold steel rain
You walk away
And underneath the cold steel rain
You walk away
