JACK COME OUT TO PLAY

There’s a girl

Standing in the rain

Waiting to knock on a door

But the fear consumes her

So she doesn't

She just stands there

Waiting for the door to open

Like magic

Like in the movies

There’s a reality

When the sun shines,

The romance is over for her

The door will open

Jack will come out to play

Lest he becomes a dull boy

Or maybe a social outcast

So it’s not for her

A play of fate

A normal thing

Nothing special

So she stands in the rain

Waiting for the door to open

Jack come out to play

In the rain

We can play pretend-

That the rain is dew

We can swim in the river

If we drowned

At least we’d hold hands

When we walked towards the light

Then when the sun shines

She’ll walk away

Happiness is too painful

It makes the world stop spinning

Because pain is all we really want

Like a girl standing in the rain

Willing to die

Willing to live

Open the door jack

I'm here

I won’t ring the door bell

Do you feel my heart?

It’s in the thunder

Scratching at your window

Can you hear me breathe?

I make the trees fall-

In your lawn

Come come

Hold me before the sun shines

While I whisper wet despicable things-

In your ears

For a moment...

On your doorstep

Jack come out to play

Before the sun shines...
