First Rain - J.O.E.Y
Lyrics by:Xinyue Hou
Composed by:Xinyue Hou/Yue Liu/Stephen Smith

Standing on the corner where we used to meet
Under streetlights words we can't complete
Thoughts rehearsed but time has made them slow
Like a frozen river that forgot to flow
Thinking back to afternoons that we knew
Dreams that lost their exits nothing can do
Young and foolish promises we cannot face
No more writing sorrow just to fill the space
So I recall your name
In the beautiful lonely night
Burning the flame
Of the life we lost
Now tell me why
Everything faded away
Memories couldn't stay
Choices we never made
Meaning starts to fade
Why do heavy chains hold us through life's pains
Like a scarecrow spinning circles round the sun
Only shadows when the day is done
Loneliness reveals how deep wounds can ache
Struggling through the trials that fate will make
So I recall your name
In the beautiful lonely night
Burning the flame
Of the life we lost
Now tell me why
LA rain washing down Old Town streets
Thinking back to Shanghai nights Chengdu beats
Lies spoken without mercy shatter and deceive
Time zones crossed feel like worlds we can't retrieve
Words you said promises dead lies that spread trust has fled
I ignore see no more fade and soar out the door
Maybe time (will) help us find what we need
Past won't leave present grieves neither freed
So I recall your name
In the beautiful lonely night
Burning the flame
Of the life we lost
Now tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me
Tell me tell me tell me why
Tell me tell me tell me why
