Lyrics
Thunder clouds when you walked in But I never fill with dread when you're talking Only meet me in the drought when you're falling (You never ask me) How I like my eggs in the morning (You never ask me) Takin' comfort in my shadow (Shadow) But you seem to stay afloat 'cause you're shallow You can never make a promise for tomorrow 'Cause all the time you choose to take has been borrowed I just pull up, then skrrt You just pull up when it hurts Why, oh why? Why, oh why? I just pull up, then skrrt You just pull up when it hurts Why, oh why? Why, oh why? Daylight was still creeping through my window Now I've got you back in my arm Now I move in from the shadows Daylight was still creeping through my window Now I've got you back in my arm Now I move in from the shadows Thunder clouds, so I'm walking I don't need to take a hit from your talking When the hurricane comes, I'm on back roads (I'm on back roads) When the hurt game comes, you do not know (You do not know) Oh, I feel the clouds of change When I'm riding in my spaceship Calling out your rain 'Cause it's no one's time to soak it You left me hopeless, swimming in your ocean Got me thinking twice what I'm involved in I just pull up, then skrrt You just pull up when it hurts Why, oh why? Why, oh why? I just pull up, then skrrt You just pull up when it hurts Why, oh why? Why, oh why? Daylight was still creeping through my window Now I've got you back in my arm Now I move in from the shadows Daylight was still creeping through my window Now I've got you back in my arm Now I move in from the shadows So I just pull up, then skrrt You just pull up when it hurts Why, oh why? Why, oh why? Pull up, then skrrt Pull up, pull up when it hurts Pull up, pull up, then skrrt Pull up, pull up when it hurts Pull up, pull up, then skrrt Pull up, pull up when it hurts Pull up, pull up, then skrrt Pull up, pull up when it hurts
