when the rain comes down so hard that you can't see the road
when you're hearing things that you could never want to know
when the world is not the same as just a minute ago
when you don't recognize the air you breathe anymore
when the gentle bends and curves turn into something more
when the belts and muscles tighten, and her hand's in yours
with senses straining for the details you've ignored
when your eyes are wide with things you've never dreamed before
there is a few inches more
there is a few seconds more
there's a sound there's a light
it's so loud it's so bright
can't stop now what's inside
can't stop love misapplied
if the rain had not come down so hard that you couldn't see the road
if you hadn't heard the things you never wanted to know
if the world was still the same as just a minute ago
oh but yours is the only heart that's beating anymore
