Lyrics
It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colors of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized
It wasn't the rain that made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly almost slowly
Plain for all to see
Oh c'mon please now talk to me
Tell me, things I could find helpful
How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way, I've been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain that made no difference
Nervously drumming on run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me, preying on my mind
So, please now talk to me
Tell me, things I could find helpful
How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way, I've been losing you
Please now talk to me
Tell me, things I could find helpful
How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do?
Please now talk to me
Tell me, tell me what to do helpful
How can I stop now? Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way, I've been losing you, you
I've been losing you, you I've been losing you
{That's right}
Gotta run away from you.

B-side
"This Alone Is Love" was the B-side, in an earlier, rawer form than the one that was re-recorded for Stay on These Roads. Both versions can be easily differentiated by their duration and the use of certain instruments. The earlier version is notable for its organ solo that sets in at 3:36 until the end of the song. The Scoundrel Days version is notable for its guitar solo. The chorus ("It will make my last breath pass out at dawn / It will make my body dissolve out in the blue") is derived from the song "May the Last Danse Be Mine" by Waaktaar and Furuholmen's previous band, Bridges.
