"When It All Comes Down" lyrics

I washed my hands in the water downstream
Tried to get straight but I couldn't come clean
The blood ran cold I guess I lost my nerve
A train kept comin' but I had to swerve

I still remember the hour and the place
I kissed the rain from your beautiful face
Now their speakin' in riddles, talkin' in tongues
Take a deep breath, fill up your lungs
Be there when it comes
When it all comes down

Somebody's screamin' the night's gone mad
Clock towers melting the sky's lookin' bad
Seems like everyone's beggin' for sweet release
There's no time to finish your masterpiece
Shattering sons thunder and drums when it all comes down

Maybe I turned away too soon
Missed the stars and hit the moon
Took a dive and fell for the dream
Things ain't quite what they seem

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
Ain't no use leavin' this town
Wait for the trumpet to sound

When it all comes down I washed my hands in the water down stream
Tried to go straight but I'll never come clean
Now we're speakin' in riddles and talkin' in tongues
Better take a deep breath and fill up your lungs
Be there when it comes
When it all comes down
