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
