I once knew a man who felt like rain
You wish for his arrival till you wish for him away
And when the storm begins to calm you know not to hesitate
So you never hear him never ask for you to stay

I once heard a man was like the sea
The waters may look calm but there are riptides underneath
Some things are never put behind, so they stay stuck in between
You can’t bind the wounds he’ll have before you meet

                CHORUS 1:
                Maybe it took me too long
        To see a man halfway in is a man halfway gone
                He’ll take everything of yours except the blame
                Knowing it’s all you’ve got left of him to claim

I once heard a man was like a kite
Tethered to the ground, but made to be in flight
You either raise up your white flag or raise up your voice to fight
You’d rather shout than be without him and be right

                CHORUS 2:
                But I believed in the man that could be
                Didn’t realize his becoming took a lesson learned on me
                He’ll say everything except that he was sure
                Knowing you’d know if he was he’d still be yours

I once knew a man who felt like sleep
Sometimes hard to come by but sometimes all you need
He learned how it felt to run because you picked him off his knees
You made a future while he made a memory

                (CHORUS 1)

                (CHORUS 2)
