Church bells toll,
Thunder roars around me
I've been warned to prepare myself
For the fall

I'm armed to the teeth
With tender pain of all yesterdays

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart,
Sketching rain from afar

Tears on tape
She surrenders, needle in arm,
While we dance into the storm

Darkness falls,
Settling the score with love,
For once and for all
Soaked in blood, I cry
I fear, we're lost to the summer rain,
Lonely and afraid

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart,
Sketching rain from afar

Tears on tape
She surrenders, needle in arm,
While we dance into the storm

And for a moment, there's no pain
For once, there's no more pain in your eyes
And maybe we'll love, just enough
To convince us, to keep breathing on

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your arms
