[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Darkness falls, settling the score
With love for once and for all
Soaked in blood, I cry my farewells
To the summer rain, lonely and afraid

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
And for a moment, there's no pain
For once, there's no more pain in your eyes
But maybe a little love
Just enough to convince us to keep breathing on

[Outro]
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your arms
