Hop to Another SongI let it fall… my heart
and as it fell, you rose to claim it.
It was dark… and I was over
Until you kissed my lips
and you saved me.
My hands… they were strong
but my knees, were far too weak.
To stand… in your arms
without fallin’ to your feet.
But there’s a side… to you
that I never knew, never knew.
All the things… you’d say
they were never true, never true.
And the games… you’d play
you would always win, always win…
But I set fire to the rain,
watched it pour as I touched your face.
Well it burned while I cried
cuz I heard it screamin’ out your name,
your name.
When I wait… with you,
I could stay there, close my eyes.
Feel you here… forever,
you and me together – nothing is better.
Cuz there’s a side… to you
that I never knew, never knew.
All the things… you’d say
they were never true, never true.
And the games… you’d play
you would always win, always win…
But I set fire to the rain,
watched it pour as I touched your face.
Well it burned while I cried
cuz I heard it screamin’ out your name,
your name.
I set fire to the rain
and I threw us into the flames.
When it fell, somethin’ died,
cause I knew that that was,
the last time, the last time.
Sometimes I wake up by the door
that heart you caught must be waitin’ for ya,
even now, when we’re already over,
I can’t help myself from lookin’ for ya…
I set fire to the rain,
watched it pour as I touched your face.
Well it burned while I cried
cuz I heard it screamin’ out your name,
your name.
I set fire to the rain
and I threw us into the flames.
When it fell, somethin’ died,
cause I knew that that was,
the last time, the last time.
Oh… ohh no
let it burn.
Oh, oh,
let it burn,
let it burn.
