Weather for You (Version 2)

Verse

Rain on the screen door, porch light still lit

Your jacket hanging where you left it

I kept your old phone number like a coin in my pocket

Still don't know if I'll call again

Four years gone and this whole block still smells like coffee

Half of me is already missing you

Pre-Chorus

Maybe the leaving was never the point at all

Wasn't the city or the job that pulled you out of town

It was just the weather, changing color on your face

Something soft enough to carry all the way

Chorus

I got a forecast for you — mostly sunny skies

Clouds part over hills when you're by my side

Every ending turns out better than I planned

Weather's always clearing when your hand lands in mine

Verse

Mailbox creaked with letters never sent

Now I'm driving south without a single regret

Cape Hatteras lighthouse on the dashboard glow

Same four lanes you left that I still know so well

Rent's too low to break, but my heart still did the deed

Turns out moving on feels just like running free

Pre-Chorus

Maybe the leaving was never the point at all

Wasn't the city or the job that pulled you out of town

It was just the weather, changing color on your face

Something soft enough to carry all the way

Chorus

I got a forecast for you — mostly sunny skies

Clouds part over hills when you're by my side

Every ending turns out better than I planned

Weather's always clearing when your hand lands in mine

Bridge

If I built a map just for one person

Your name would be the only storm that cleared

Nothing lost that wasn't meant to blow away

And every coast line gets a little brighter now

Chorus

I got a forecast for you — mostly sunny skies

Clouds part over hills when you're by my side

Every ending turns out better than I planned

Weather's always clearing when your hand lands in mine
