lyrics

Run with me
To places no one’s tried—
Then again, no, that’s a lie,
‘Cause no place we have been,
And no place we can be
Has gone unseen by other eyes.

But it don’t matter,
No one has to know we tried.
I promise that my lips will seal, yeah yeah yeah.
And that no ink will stain,
Nor hand will rearrange
That wet cement inside your mind.

Through the fire, through the rain,
We were something I could change.
It brought pleasure, it brought pain.
Through the fire, through the rain.

So you say,
Well I’ve a mother too,
Who’ll never know, who’ll never cry.
If outwardly she’ll see
The same son that has been
There and back and there and smile.

No one has to know
How we’ll pass the years
As a fog only we see, yeah yeah yeah.
Please just think,
A kiss and we’ll escape—
Please, I need you to believe…

Through the fire, through the rain.
We were something stuck in place.
We made choices; we chose pain.
Through the fire, through the rain.

When I replay
Through my head
The shame now
Is all mine.

Through the fire, through the rain.
I saw something stuck in place.
I made choices; I chose pain.
Through the fire, through the rain.
