Feel It Coming On

It's a scratch on the skin

It's a tear in the screen

The first burn of the drip, of the sip as the drink's goin' down

A crack in the wall

Just a spot on the sun

The first pull of the seam of a dream as it's coming undone

You're not gone

But I feel it coming on

It's the peel of the paint

It's the tug of the sleeve

It's the kiss that you miss by the train as it's leaving town

You're not gone

But I feel it coming on

I don't know when

Or why

Or how you'll say goodbye

But it won't be long

I can feel it coming on

So pretend you're asleep

Keep me at bay

'Cause you don't wanna touch, wanna talk

You just say nothing's wrong

Oh

But I feel it coming on

I don't know when

Or why

Or how you'll say goodbye

But it won't be long

'Til the storm blows in

And the whole dam breaks

'Til you're standing there

Saying what you said you'd never say

It's the stop of a heart

It's the drop of a tear

It's the words on the tip of your tongue that I don't wanna hear

You're not gone

But I feel it coming on

It won't be long, no

But I feel it coming on
