The Storm

I met you outside a convenience store
You were dragging your feet across the dirty floor
Had a pint of vodka in your left hand
You spend a few bucks, you try to make a few friends

The streetlights flickered and they buzzed
As you exhaled smoke out of your lungs
You were empty and I was too
On a quiet street in the afternoon

I felt a storm coming
It was coming for you and I
I felt a storm coming that night

I felt a storm coming
It was coming for you and I
I felt a storm coming that night

The rent was due on the day you were born
And you came into this world and they wanted more
You had no choice but to jump right in
Hoping on the way down that you learn to swim

And who was I 'fore I was standing there
Well, it's hard to know and it's hard to care
But I gained some weight and I cut my hair
For it's hard not to think I was born right there

I felt a storm coming
It was coming for you and I
I felt a storm coming that night

I felt a storm coming
It was coming for you and I
I felt a storm coming that night

I'm lying here in the dark
I feel you next to me, and you're breathing hard
Hands on the clock don't mean that much
I'll close my eyes when I've had enough

And I felt a storm coming
It was coming for you and I
I felt a storm coming that night

I felt a storm coming
It was coming for you and I
I felt a storm coming that night
