Let Me Go

Let the rain come down and erase the thoughts within.
Clean the windows and the roofs and soak me to the skin.
Let it wash away my tears and the make-up I wear
Leave me shivering and naked in the frigid air.
Leave me bare.

And oh, the wind, it calls my name in a lover's voice
And I don't think that I have that much a choice

So I must get up, get out,
Let me out of here
If you open the door I just might disappear
But if you hold me tight I just might stay with you one more night.

Until I get up, get out,
Let myself fly free
You can try to catch me but there's no catching me.
So stow your butterfly nets and your empty threats
And let me go.

Oh the pitter-pat of rain matches the beating of my heart
As I sit by the window waiting for the thunder to start.
When the skies shake and shatter with the lightning bolt's heat
You'll wrap your arms abound me and I'll feel complete.

And oh, the wind, it calls my name in a lover's voice
And I don't think that I have that much a choice

So I must get up, get out,
Let me out of here
If you open the door I just might disappear
But if you hold me tight I just might stay with you one more night.

Until I get up, get out,
Let myself fly free
You can try to catch me but there's no catching me.
So stow your butterfly nets and your empty threats
And let me go.
Tonight.
