/// Lyrics:
You came in like a roll of thunder, trying to change the shape of love
Looking for somebody to believe in you for once
How’d the world get so confusing, how’d the ache inside your chest
Go from something beautiful to something dangerous
But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell
But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell
Lit up like a firecracker, you’ve been burning out for years
Nothing left but ruined plastic shells and helpless tears
But once you were a brilliant flash, a crash of silver light
Don’t forget the way you felt, all hungry and alive
But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell
But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell
I know you’re a crazy dreamer, I know that you still believe
Something good is just beyond the darkness of this dream
And time will tell a softer story, how you climbed above the wire
Held that hammer high above and made the damn thing chime
But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell
But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell
