The Canyon Came Lyrics

Called off your wants with the whispers

Called this a canyon you can't cross

Ever, the river's too deep but

Isn't it a little late to turn back, I

Saw you standing right there

Umbrella dangling from your hand

Rain pouring soaking your head, and

You just smiled and said

What better way to tell you that

I'm not really having it

What better way to protest

What the weather had in mind

Fell onto the same old bedspread

Fought off the upside down creeping

Racing a flooding canyon

Trying not to let it set my pace

Too proud to know I'm broken

It's too old to leave it all behind

Caught up in the time I wasted

Caught every door knob rushing by

What better way to tell you that

I'm not really having it

What better way to protest

All the things I kept inside

And what better way to say

I guess maybe I'd really like a way

To drop my guard

And love for a while

What better way to tell you

That I'm not going anywhere

What better way to protest

All the things I've felt at night

And what kind of story

Was in your heart before the rain?

Before the canyon came,

Now canyon rains

I thought you wanted to whisper

You said well I can't hold this back

Loud tracks and spaceman knapsacks

Don't really get me there, yeah

I furrowed all my reflections

And wondered what this all could mean

Pressed on, and thought I'd fight for

Us but made it all about me

What better way to tell you

That I'm not really having it

And what better ways to find

My love way deep down inside

And whatever I say, baby,

I know life has got it's days

And the canyon came

But now the canyon rains

What better way to tell you

That I'm never really having it

And what better way to protest

All the things that keep me up at night

And what better way to say

I guess maybe I'd really love a way

To drop my guard

And let you love me right
