IF IT HADN'T FELT LIKE RAIN
VERSE 1 Distant thunder chased her 'cross the driveway,
she rolled up his windows as lightning struck.
In the flash she saw a corner of a letter
hidden 'neath the floor mat of his truck.
Cold and steady rain beat on his windshield,
another woman's words beat on her heart...
CHORUS 1 If it hadn't felt like rain, if she hadn't heard the thunder
she'd have never seen the danger of the dark cloud she was under.
It’s not like she'd gone searching for the trouble that she'd found
She'd be inside and dry, but living a lie, if it hadn't felt like rain.
VERSE 2 He said, "There's no excuse I can give you,
I'm sorry and I know I was wrong.
The truth is I didn't think it mattered,
we've been under storm clouds for so long.
I swear I hear the sound of distant thunder
in every conversation that we have...."
CHORUS 2 If it hadn't felt like rain, if he hadn't heard the thunder,
He'd have never felt like drowning
in the arms that pulled him under.
He'd have never gone out searching for the trouble that he found,
at the wrong time and place, in another's embrace,
If it hadn't felt like rain.
(Instrumental Bridge)
CHORUS 3 If it hadn't felt like rain, if they hadn't heard the thunder,
She'd have never left the safety of the illusions she lived under.
He'd have never found his way home
without the frightening flash of light,
They would never have found higher ground,
If it hadn't felt like rain.
