Drought Lyrics by Forrest Day

0

[Verse 1]
Rain is finally falling
It's been a weird year, a strange year
It's like the world is all choked up
But holding back tears
You came a little late
But at least you're here
And I'm hoping that you'll stay
And drown our fears

[Chorus]
I've been running on empty underneath blue skies
Tending a fire burning inside
I'd do about anything to slow down time
Time heals everything, but everything dies

[Verse 2]
Wallet, keys, phone, beanie, and a sweater from off the dresser
Walk out my front door into the weather
The cold awakens me
Now I feel better
I don't break my stride
In that I take pleasure

[Pre-Chorus]
Passing cars, one foot in front of the other
It's not that far
It's just around the corner

[Chorus]
I've been running on empty underneath blue skies
Tending a fire burning inside
I'd do about anything to slow down time
Time heals everything, but everything dies

[Verse 3]
Coffee, sugar, no cream, a lid and a sleeve
I fill up my cup
These days I need coffee
Or I don't wake up
And the rain releases me
I've been in a rut
I've got a one track mind
Sometimes it gets stuck

[interlude]

[Chorus]
I've been running on empty underneath blue skies
Tending a fire burning inside
I'd do about anything to slow down time
Time heals everything, but everything dies

[Outro]
Everything dies
Everything dies
Everything dies
Everything dies
