It's the start of something brand new
It's the start of the closing line
With the door cracked an inch or two

Do I dare set my foot inside?
Do I love you then lose you?
Or do I put my trust in time?
Do I let myself refuse to count
On a fateful dream of mine?

Within me, it tugs on
My heartstrings and I know
It's just a sky of silver gray
Just a narrow passageway
Just a song cut off halfway
Just another Monday rain

Would I spend a week in the heart of the city
In the center of your heart?
For a flash of fame before I'd lose the game
And be stuck on the outskirts, back at the start

There's no price I would not pay
For the superlative insured
So I'll light the candle, hope it does not melt away
But what if patience brings reward?

Within me, it tugs on
My heartstrings and I know
It's just a sky of silver gray
Just a narrow passageway
Just a song cut off halfway
Just another Monday rain

Raining harder now
Raining harder now
Raining harder now

Within me, it tugs on
My heartstrings, my heart sings
This anthem of misery
Is it consequence or providence
I'm on the fence of imminence

And nothing to gain
Drenched in the Monday rain
