You are the rain

Strangely out of place,
and there's a light filling this room where none would follow before.
I can't deny it burns me up inside.
I fan the flames to melt away my pride.
Do I want shelter from the rain or the rain to wash me away?

I need you, I need you, I need you.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
You're all I'm living for.

I might sound like a fool,
but I think I felt you moving closer to me.
Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut.
I fight the weight, I feel you lift me up.
You are the shelter from the rain and the rain to wash me away. 

I need you, I need you, I need you.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
You're all I'm living for.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
You're all I'm living for.

Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut.
I fight the weight, feel you lift me up.
I can't deny it burns me up inside.
I fan the flames to melt away my pride.
I only had a second to spare, but all the time in the world to know you're there.
You are the shelter from the rain and the rain to wash me away. 

I need you, I need you, I need you.
You're all I'm living for.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
You're all I'm living for.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
You're all I'm living for.
