Receipts in the Rain

[Verse 1] Paper receipts curl in the rain by the curb. A small rhythm gathers where the long day ends. I keep my hands steady and listen for the change. [Pre-Chorus] I count what it cost without calling it regret. We make no promise louder than we can keep. [Chorus] Receipts in the Rain, stay with me through the turning. Receipts in the Rain, say the thing the dark could not erase. Let the final line arrive in its own time. We will know the way by how the last word lands. [Verse 2] The hour moves forward, leaving room around the truth. I meet it without hurry, without dressing it in gold. What was only distance becomes a road beneath us. What was only silence finds a voice and finds a home. [Bridge] No borrowed thunder, no convenient ending. Only breath, only ground, only one clear name. [Final Chorus] Receipts in the Rain, stay with me through the turning. Let the final line arrive in its own time. We will know the way by how the last word lands.
