Written during a rainy summer in Liverpool, Summer Rain Parade captures the joy of finding light on the greyest days. Inspired by afternoons spent laughing through warm rain, James Harrison turned ordinary streets into a celebration of youth, friendship and first love.

I don’t know what I believe I lost my faith in everyone My hands went numb in funeral light Holding prayers that wouldn’t come You went still in the backseat Counting cracks along the street I watched your phone refuse to shine Like it knew what you wouldn’t speak And I swear I saw your smile Like you knew the ending first Some people leave this world But stay behind and make it worse Now I can’t sleep the same Since your side went cold Every dream comes back too close Wearing all your old clothes Should I stay awake Or let the dark come in? You said I’d make it through But I don’t know where to begin All your friends sound fake as hell Practiced sad and wore it well They dress their guilt in borrowed words Then call my silence something worse I saw the sky split open wide Like it had nowhere left to hide I watched the clouds move on without you Like they had better things to do I should’ve called before the end I should’ve read the warning signs Maybe your last crooked grin Was goodbye between the lines I keep replaying what you said Like it changes where it ends But every version cuts the same You don’t come back again Now I can’t sleep the same Since your side went cold Every dream turns gray Wearing all your old clothes ohhh ohhh Should I stay awake Or fall apart instead? You said I’d be all right But you still live inside my head ohhh ohhh You said I’d be all right But I wake up reaching for your side of the bed Ohhh Ooh, oh Ooh, ohmore
