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
