Petrichor

Etrichor I loved that smell before but something's missing This town has got me down again and I miss the smell of fish It hit me like a fist And then left traceless as a kiss I had my headphones on I couldn't hear over the song that rain was coming I couldn't feel it 'til I saw the echo of the clouds Over the parking lot And by then I was already hog-tied And begging like a masochist Petrichor give me more Take me back To Langton or the Chateau Frontenac Where I learned that word The first time that I heard it I was missing Someone who taught me only when everything's going right You learn what's really wrong She said "You can shape up or I can leave you here in the rain" "I must admit I didn't realize that was an option"
