Thunder East

When our apartment collapsed
And black mold filled the cracks
I thought losing our bed was
Worse than our student debt was
I was afraid we'd grow apart
You'd see how blind your bet was

When our home rotted away
The trees jumped out of place
I saw their roots and I wondered
When you'd leave and thunder east
When you'd leave and thunder east
I know you miss your Mom
I won't try to be her, but I'll try to be calm

We learned we had to get educated
Enroll, and withdraw some loans
When I was learning how the world was
Before getting crushed by what it is

All day, Toronto's growing into glare
Climbing up toward the cranes in the air
The city's building something
Extending beyond our reach

I should write my old professors
Tell them how I've spent the year
Nervous and drunk in equal measure
Tell them how much passion I forgot here
I moved back to the city
And you moved here with me
I'll search the bars for understanding
While you wonder when we're leaving
While you wonder when we're leaving
While you wonder when

All day, Toronto's growing into glare
Climbing up toward the cranes in the air
The city's building something
Extending beyond our reach

All day, Toronto's growing into glare
Climbing up toward the cranes in the air
The city's building something
Extending beyond our reach
