Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Feel the rain on your skin
  • No one else can feel it for you
  • Only you can let it in
  • No one else, no one else

Echo the hook

  • The rest is still unwritten
  • Staring at the blank page before you
  • Open up the dirty window
  • Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
