Friend-zone in the rain: another umbrella hanging in the hall. I’ll keep the things. Don’t ask for more. A dry, kind English ballad.

Lyrics
The rain is falling on the street
Then I hear a sound I often meet
You’re at the door, you’re standing there
To find a shelter from the air
"I was just nearby," you always say
"To hide from the rain for a little today"
You hang your umbrella on the hook
And give the room a little look
You walk inside and you take a seat
Just to talk for a while and rest your feet
We talk as friends, just like we should
Everything is fine and everything is good
But when you leave and the sky is blue
You leave your things, like you always do
A silver ring or a coat you love
The things you should be careful of
Why do you leave your umbrellas here?
Every time you disappear
Another color hanging in my hall
Little storms you planned to dodge
Now they’re mine to brace or watch
Guess I’m the forecast after all
Then comes the text upon my phone
Just when I’m sitting all alone
"I forgot my stuff, I’m coming back"
Looking for a friendly chat
You come inside and you sit once more
Like you did the day before
I listen to the things you say
In our usual, friendly way
It’s like you’re waiting for the rain
To come and see me once again
I keep it calm, I keep it clear
Even when you’re standing near
I’ll be your friend, I’ll be your shore
But I’m not the heart you’re looking for
It’s okay to leave your things behind
I’ll keep them safe, I’m always kind
Let's keep the friendship that we made
I don't want to see it fade
So please don't ask for something more
Let's just keep it like before
Why do you leave your umbrellas here?
Every time you disappear
Another color hanging in my hall
Little storms you planned to dodge
Now they’re mine to brace or watch
Guess I’m the forecast after all
(guess I’m the forecast)
Guess I’m the forecast after all
(after all)
(after all)
