Backseat Goodbye - And When the Storms Come... lyrics
Everyday before they'd wake up.
You'd sneak out.
Through your broken bedroom window.
It made a funny sound.
You'd wear your favorite red tshirt.
With the hole in the shoulder.
No one ever seemed to notice.
A single word that you told them.
But that's alright, you'l be just fine.
One day the sun had burned down.
The cloudless sky.
You're just a kid with a store bought haircut.
All you could do was cry.
But that's alright, you'll be just fine.
The storms they came and took your best friend.
Now you spend the days.
Walking around in your basement.
Remembering the ways.
You used to laugh.
And collect your favorite photographs.
But now you can't.
'Cause you hate the past.
And that's not alright.
And no you're not doing just fine.
Then the wind came and swallowed up.
All your worry and broken luck.
You kept it on your steps all these years.
Now it's finally out of your hands.
Then you laugh until you cry.
At the years that have passed you by.
And a smile makes its way to your face.
It's been a while now, hope it stays.
Now everynight before you close those eyes you kiss the sky goodbye.
Just in case.
To be safe.
Just in case you don't wake up.
Just in case the world blows up.
Or maybe if your heart decides to stop.
Or maybe if the sky falls on itself.
And what if the ocean drowns.
What if all the planes fall down.
And when the tired buildings get up.
Decide to leave this town.
At least i'll have said goodbye.
Now everyday when you wake up.
You don't seem to mind.
The big red sun and how it shines.
Right in your eyes. it's just like you.
Alone, hanging in some gravity pull.
Waiting for time to catch up.
It's 7:30 and i've had enough.
The wind's blowing outside my window.
I can tell 'cause the trees show me so.
With their beautiful branches.
I could swear they were dancing.
Arm in arm like leaf in leaf.
I've got you and you've got me.
And when storms come.
We'll send them home.
And we'll be alright.
Yeah we'll be just fine.
