(Verse 1)
E B C#m
Paint a picture as we're walking on the street
A
a collage of paint, cement,
E B C#m
and steam. Just like Deja Vu, still life in a dream.
A
There you stood watching
E B, C#m, E
as the rain poured down on me.

E A C#m
All I ever wanted was a cool, dry place to rest my bones. Not to drift along
A
with this current forever, not have to sink alone.
