Waterworks

This song had actually had the most amazing chorus sitting around for ages before (after three or four different variations) I picked up the current verse/bridge set, which I feel really fits the song. The concept picture's maybe a little strange, but for me it personfies the whole "Emerge from the water" motif. Basically the song's about... I guess it's about someone who's really just hurting inside, and I'm just addressing that and going "Hey, I care, okay? I still need you here, I still need you in my life, so there's no way I'm giving up on you."

It's been a while
Since the rain poured down like this.
I can't see through the haze.
Are you bound?
Are you broken?
Let the waters wash you away.

As I feel the rain,
Memories burn like fire again,
But our skies are clear
As far as I can see.

Emerge from the water,
Now I can see, now I can see
Crystal clearly: I'm alive.
Excuse me for a moment,
I've been drowning for a while
In your eyes.

It's been a while
Since we saw a day like this.
You are all I can see.
Where are you now?
Are you near?
Feel the tide pull you under.

Emerge from the water,
Now I can see, now I can see
Crystal clearly: I'm alive.
Excuse me for a moment,
I've been drowning for a while
In your eyes.

As the rain pours down
On this '66 town,
I need you more than ever.
I need you, so I call your name.
I need you, so I call your name.

Emerge from the water,
Now I can see, now I can see
Crystal clearly: I'm alive.
Excuse me for a moment,
I've been drowning for a while
In your eyes.

I'm so cold, bring me round.
You're so tired, I won't let you drown,
Cos I need you now...
I need you.

Our skies are clear,As far as I can see.
