And When the Storms Come

everyday before they'd wake up

you'd sneak out

through your broken bedroom window

it made a funny sound

you'd wear your favorite red tshirt

with the hole in the shoulder

no one ever seemed to notice

a single word that you told them

but that's alright, you'l be just fine

one day the sun had burned down

the cloudless sky

you're just a kid with a store bought haircut

all you could do was cry

but that's alright, you'll be just fine

the storms they came and took your best friend

now you spend the days

walking around in your basement

remembering the ways

you used to laugh

and collect your favorite photographs

but now you can't

'cause you hate the past

and that's not alright

and no you're not doing just fine

then the wind came and swallowed up

all your worry and broken luck

you kept it on your steps all these years

now it's finally out of your hands

then you laugh until you cry

at the years that have passed you by

and a smile makes its way to your face

it's been a while now, hope it stays

now everynight before you close those eyes

you kiss the sky goodbye

just in case

to be safe

just in case you don't wake up

just in case the world blows up

or maybe if your heart decides to stop

or maybe if the sky falls on itself

and what if the ocean drowns

what if all the planes fall down

and when the tired buildings get up

decide to leave this town

at least i'll have said goodbye

now everyday when you wake up

you don't seem to mind

the big red sun and how it shines

right in your eyes

it's just like you

alone, hanging in some gravity pull

waiting for time to catch up

it's 7:30 and i've had enough

the wind's blowing outside my window

i can tell 'cause the trees show me so

with their beautiful branches

i could swear they were dancing

arm in arm like leaf in leaf

i've got you and you've got me

and when storms come

we'll send them home

and we'll be alright

yeah we'll be just fine
