call me the rain

I need you to know not that I'm not okay

Not on the best of nights

Or the darkest days

It feels like I'm split in two

Fractured inside myself

And yet, I feel like I know you

Maybe better than I know myself

It feels like I've known you for a hundred years

And every time I see you I feel like I'm just meeting myself

And I could not be more okay with it

Maybe you're deluded

To want to know me like you do

If that's the case, then call me crazy too

I crave to know you

Every nook and cranny

Every crack and corner

Every passing whisper that almost escapes my ears

I crave to hear it, to hear you

I know I'm a mess

All I ask is that you stay true

And that you stick with me

I may be a mess, but I can be an adventure, too

Sure, the sunshine is great

But it's the rain that tells the best stories

It's the sun gets you through the day

But it's the night that let's you know you're not alone

So call me the rain

And call me the night

I can be the demon

To your hell alright

I may not have it all figured out

I may have some things to work through

But together, we can dance and laugh

We can sing every song that has ever been sung

Carve our names into every tree

Swim across oceans

See all that can be seen

I want to do the impossible with you

Together we can make the impossible come true

And maybe together we can shut out the world

I don't know where I'm going

But I know I want to be where you are

Sometimes, I feel so alone

And I know you do too

So let's do each other a favor

And let's be alone, together

So call me the rain

And call me the night

I can be the demon

To your hell alright
