I heard the old man say
"We need the rain, and I can feel it in my bones; they're aching."
I watch the sky in wait
And wish these waters ease my pain
Because my well is breaking

If you get next to me
And help me find simplicity
Then you could be the one to take me
To break me
And flood my soul

Could you be the one to release me?
Oh, release me
Waiting for your love, oh, to free me
So release me

Gray clouds, they infiltrate
As every move you make
Gets me closer to clarity
While droplet drummers lead a complex beat
Increasing speed
Somehow accompanies our intensities

At first this cloud burst is pulling asunder
Lightning and thunder
Rain falls and you take me under
And flood my soul

Could you be the one to release me?
Oh, release me
Waiting for your love, oh, to free me
So release me

So take off your shoes and stay a while
This might be the right time tonight
If it makes you feel good
Then it makes me feel all right
We should take down the curtains now
And make blankets here on the floor
A torrential downpour
With potential for more
We cease to fight this tension
That ignites us here in the dark
This tension causes friction
And this friction leads to sparks
The rain has filled this cup
And before it overflows
I wanna take you in now
Here it goes

Could you be the one to release me?
Oh, release me
Waiting for your love, oh, to free me
So release me

Could you be the one to release me?
Oh, release me
We have just begun
You release me
Oh, release me
