Storm Weather Report (Version 2)

Verse

Forecast says the storm's a hundred miles wide

You said we should drive through it together tonight

Rain comes down so hard I lose your hand for seconds

But you always come back laughing and red-faced

Radio cuts out at the county line

Static for a mile then suddenly you're in the mix, fine

Talking low about the open road we made

Saying this is ours no matter how the skies behave

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call it when the whole sky turns dark?

Is that an ending or a brand new spark?

You say 'chase me through' like the storm's half a thrill

Are you running from the end of this hill or for real?

Chorus

We don't need sunshine, we just need a window open wide

Hold my hand through the flash flood and I'll ride with you tonight

Every drop that hits us feels like it's washing free what it meant to mean something real

So don't let go now, this storm weather report is all about how I feel

Verse

Ten years later the forecast says 'partly clear

You laugh and tell me that was just a bad omen for the year

We built a house where the highway used to be

Planted trees whose roots are still learning how to breathe

You said every storm comes back but we don't have to be afraid

Said this is what falling in love's made up of — rain, roads that bend, and you not running for cover when I call your name

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call it when the whole sky turns dark?

Is that an ending or a brand new spark?

You say 'chase me through' like the storm's half a thrill

Are you running from the end of this hill or for real?

Chorus

We don't need sunshine, we just need a window open wide

Hold my hand through the flash flood and I'll ride with you tonight

Every drop that hits us feels like it's washing free what it meant to mean something real

So don't let go now, this storm weather report is all about how I feel

Bridge

Maybe every goodbye just means a season change

The wind comes in but the sun still learns its name

You're my Doppler radar and I'm yours too

Stormy skies turn silver when we drive through them with you

Chorus

We don't need sunshine, we just need a window open wide

Hold my hand through the flash flood and I'll ride with you tonight

Every drop that hits us feels like it's washing free what it meant to mean something real

So don't let go now, this storm weather report is all about how I feel
