Lyrics
[Verse 1] Headlights smear on the windshield, Wipers keep the time. Radio’s off, just the static hum Of your name stuck in my mind. I’m on your street, your house is dark, I tap the brake too slow. I told myself I wouldn’t come here, But my car already knows. [Chorus] Oh, the midnight rain Washes all the streetlights clean. It knows my heart, it knows the scene, Knows exactly what you mean When you go quiet. It’s the sound Of what we’re losing, falling down. I’m drowning in the “almost,” in the pain— In this midnight rain. [Verse 2] I pass the park where we had the fight, The one we never fixed. I see the ghosts of me and you, A million memories mixed. There’s the bench where you first kissed me, There's the corner where we stalled. I’m driving circles 'round a life That I can’t have at all. [Chorus] Oh, the midnight rain Washes all the streetlights clean. It knows my heart, it knows the scene, Knows exactly what you mean When you go quiet. It’s the sound Of what we’re losing, falling down. I’m drowning in the “almost,” in the pain— In this midnight rain. [Bridge] Maybe I needed this drive to clear my head, To finally hear the words we never said. The tires hiss, a soft goodbye, Washing your name off the blurry sky. Let it fall. Let it fade. [Chorus] Oh, the midnight rain Washes all the streetlights clean. It knows my heart, it knows the scene, Knows exactly what you mean When you go quiet. It’s the sound Of what we’re losing, falling down. I’m drowning in the “almost,” in the pain— In this midnight rain. [Outro] Falling down. In the midnight rain. Oh, in the midnight rain. (Fades out)
