Summer Storms

I figured you'd just run outta things to say

Like you sometimes did in the dead of the night

Thought for sure we'd be just fine come mornin'

But the cracks of early eyes

I stumbled out of the bed and through our apartment

Called your name out twice, where'd you go, darlin'?

And I guess you don't know what you're doin'

Until you've done it too much

And the best that I had to offer

Was never gonna be quite enough

You spent one too many mornings, just a-chokin' down this town

Guess your reasons for not leavin' just ran out

In the drawer by the kitchen sink

There's a cracked coffee cup and a picture of you and me

Yeah, that was always was where we kept the broken things

So I fumble through the mess, old triple As, and a half pack of cigarettes

Touched every lonely key like the beads of a rosary

And I guess you don't know what you're doin'

Until you've done it too much

And the best that I had to offer

Was never gonna be quite enough

And you spent one too many mornings, just a-chokin' down this town

I guess your reasons for not leavin' just ran out

'Cause you always loved summer storms

'Cause you followed the lightning home

Oh

'Cause you spent one too many mornings, just a-chokin' down this town

I guess your reasons for not leavin' just ran out

I guess your reasons for not leavin' just ran out
