Rain Lets Up

Auto

Verse 1

Same booth at the corner diner

Two cups that always spilled

You laughed at my terrible timing

I almost missed the whole joke

We swore we'd never be those people

The ones who just wave from a car

I meant it when I said I'd call you

The battery died before noon

Pre-Chorus

And the weeks turned over quietly

Like pages nobody reads

Chorus

Meet me when the rain lets up

Meet me when the month slows down

I keep the door half open

Hoping you'll walk through

Verse 2

Your daughter turned seven in April

I saw the photos too late

You moved to the west side in autumn

I never learned your new street

I planned it twice around the holidays

Both times the tire blew out

You said no worries just reschedule

We both knew what that meant

Pre-Chorus

And the years folded up neatly

Like letters we never sent

Chorus

Meet me when the rain lets up

Meet me when the month slows down

I keep the door half open

Hoping you'll walk through

Bridge

And the phone rang on a Tuesday

Not the one I was expecting

Your voice carried the same old warm light

Saying I'm coming into town

And I heard myself answer

Before I even chose the word

Yes I want to see your face again

Yes I think I've missed your laugh

Instrumental

Chorus

Meet me when the rain lets up

The sky's already clearing now

I'm leaving the door wide open

Come on in and stay awhile

We can't get back the years we lost

But we can start from what we have

So meet me where the rain lets up

And we'll decide from there
