the boy who cried thunder, the girl who cried rain

there was an adolescent boy, sitting in the corner

light fractured, glimmering on the walls

his mind was swimming in the girl's ocean

there was an adolescent girl, standing against the wall

knee-high socks, overthinking thoughts

she praised the sculptor of the boy's frame

there were two fresh souls, on opposite sides of the same room

unaware of the unbearable tsunami

crashing in their chests simultaneously 

the waters rise on their own terms

there was a boy who thought too loudly

there was a girl who spoke so subtly

there was a boy and there was a girl

there were two hearts that were broken

in complimenting pieces

there were different pains felt inside that sealed

those complimenting pieces together like glue

here comes the thunder here comes the rain

here comes the love that causes incredible pain

there were scars on his arms and
there were scars on her thighs and
there were scars on their minds
there were scars on their hands and
they tried to mend each other with them

you fell on the sidewalk and broke your own heart
and all the world's words and all the world's love
couldn't put your heart back together again

there was an adolescent boy, sitting on the roof
thinking, thinking, thinking
thinking about everything [ about her ]

there was an adolescent girl, sitting on the roof
loving loving loving
loving every little thing [ about life and about him ]

there were two old souls, sitting on the roof side-by-side
and everything came crumbling down
in an array of sparks and ashes
burning bridges and words

there was a boy who understood the world too well
there was a girl who understood goodbyes too well
there was a boy and there was a girl with glass shards in their hands
there were clouds filling the sky dark and sooty

the skyline twinkled like low-flying stars
but they weren't flying low enough to latch on to

there was a boy and there was a girl
there were years that stretched before and years that stretched behind them
there was lightening flashing above them and thunder crashing around them

you fell and i fell and everyone fell
now we're drenched in salty raindrops
the ones that fell down your cheeks
now we're deaf from your screams
that leaped from your throat

there was a boy and there was a girl
who crawled quietly out of their minds
back home
