[Verse 1]

I heard the old man say

"We need the rain, and I can feel it in my bones, they're aching

I'll watch the sky and wait and wish these waters ease my pain

Because my well is breaking."

If you'd 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

[Chorus]

Could you be the one to release me?

Oh, release me

Waiting for your love

Oh, to free me

So, release me

[Verse 2]

Grey 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 us under

Lightning and thunder

Rain falls, and you take me under

And flood my soul

[Chorus]

Could you be the one to release me?

Oh, release me

Waiting for your love

Oh, to free me

So, release me

[Bridge]

So take of your shoes and stay awhile

This might be the right time tonight

If it makes you feel good

Then it makes me feel alright

We should take down the curtains now

And make blankets here on the floor

A torrential downpour

The potential for more

Cease to fight this tension that

Ignites us here in the dark

Cause 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

[Chorus]

Could you be the one to release me?

Oh, release me

Waiting for your love

Oh, to free me

So, release me

[Chorus 2]

Could you be the one to release me?

Oh, release me

We have just begun

You release me

Oh, release me
