The Storm

I see the storm a comin, wild and brave
It's eye it keeps on movin, always changing shape
I want to give chase but I know my place
It's just like in the movies, the hero waits
Until the final moment, memory delayed
You'll never know pleasure, until you know pain

I ran into the desert to see if it's like they say
Looking for skeletons and rattlesnakes
But didn't see anything

My father used to tell me we're not what we think
You wanna think you're perfect and that's a mistake
I always felt busted, I could never relate
This wind has got me bracing but I'm gonna wait
See if I can make it, I was always more foolish than afraid

I went to San Francisco, tried to get laid
She took me to her notell and said I didn't have to pay
And after I came I ran away
Sometimes when I'm drinking alone in my place
I put on a movie and go into space
Pull up my phone, put down a phrase

This storm has got me thinking maybe I’ll stay
Hold onto something heavy and hope I don’t blow away
