Lyrics
Spoken Intro - Storytelling
(Mother - Female Voice)
You're soaked, sweetheart.
What were you doing out there in this weather?
(Son- Male Voice)
Don't worry, Mom.
I just went out to buy some tea.
(Mother - Female Voice)
In this rain?
(Son- Male Voice)
They said it's gonna last all night.
(Mother - Female Voice)
Well...
I'm glad you're home.
(kettle sound)
rain continues
Verse 1
The city lights are blurry tonight
Behind the water on the glass
I set my worries by the doorway
And let another long day pass
Some storms arrive without a warning
Some scars take time before they fade
And every heart deserves a shelter
When it grows tired of being brave
Pre-Chorus
So if you're feeling worn and weathered
You don't have to face it all
Chorus
Build your walls if you need to
Let the outside fade away
Close the curtains
Make some tea
Give your heart a place to stay
Take your time
Stay inside
While the heavy clouds move through
Some nights are meant for healing
Not for proving what you can do
Verse 2
The rain keeps dancing on my window
Like a song I've always known
And for the first time in a while
I don't mind being alone
The world can wait beyond the hallway
The noise can fade beyond the door
Tonight I'm learning that protection
Isn't weakness anymore
Pre-Chorus
And if your soul feels overwhelmed
You don't have to carry every weight
Chorus
Build your walls if you need to
Let the outside fade away
Close the curtains
Make some tea
Give your heart a place to stay
Take your time
Stay inside
While the heavy clouds move through
Some nights are meant for healing
Not for proving what you can do
Bridge
Even the moon hides behind the clouds
Even the trees bend with the wind
There's no shame in finding shelter
Before you bloom again
The rain will pass
The sky will clear
But you don't have to rush the dawn
Some hearts recover quietly
Long before the storm is gone
Final Chorus
Build your walls if you need to
Let the rain stay at the door
You are not becoming smaller
You're just resting at your core
Take your time
Stay inside
Until the morning finds its way
And when your heart is ready
The light will meet you where you stay
Spoken Outro
(Mother, distant)
Tea's ready.
(Son)
Coming.
rain fades
