[Verse 1]
Neon puddles hold my footsteps like a borrowed mirror glow
Salt crust on the collar where the city wind blows low
Bruised knuckles, paper tickets, the night smells like rust and chrome
Under a streetlamp halo, I keep walking — nowhere's home
[Pre-Chorus]
Sirens roll like distant thunder, footsteps count the miles
Every corner hides a story folded thin beneath my smile
[Chorus]
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
Lightning writes its handwriting across my arms and forms
The thunder tries to claim me, but I push through the gray
In the chaos I keep moving — the hurt won't make me stay
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
[Verse 2]
Cigarette ash floats like small regrets above a diner sign
Cold breath fogs the window where the clock has lost its time
Scarred leather jacket and a postcard with its corners worn
A cracked photograph of summer that the winter has torn
[Pre-Chorus]
Winds try to peel the map away, steal the edges of my plan
But every step leaves something real, a stubborn kind of stand
[Chorus]
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
Thunder drums a cadence where my battered backbone forms
Neon puddles keep my secrets, they reflect what I became
In the racket and the downpour I refuse to be the same
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
[Bridge]
(Quiet — pull back to a single guitar, intimate)
There was a porch light, faded paint, a night I learned to breathe
A rusted mailbox, one small shoe, the lullaby of leave
I taste the iron of the street — a memory that burns
Then the chorus of the city shows the place where courage turns
[Final Chorus — Lifted, half-step up, stacked harmonies]
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
Through the thunder now a different kind of courage forms
The lightning scrapes the outlines of the scar I used to wear
And in that flash I see the shape of someone who can bear
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
[Outro]
Guitars ring like distant bells, cymbals catch a silver dawn
My shadow keeps on walking though the night is nearly gone
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
I walk in the rain with never ending storms
