Lyrics

Batten Down The Hatches

[Verse 1]

Batten down the hatches

That storm cloud's coming right at us

We better get set alright

'Cause we could be in for a wild night

I love that I get to see your face every time the lighting flashes

I can't wait for the next strike to happen

There's a bottle of grappa

How about I go grab it?

Me and you, you and I

Let's unwind through this sea of fishing line

[Chorus]

I don't understand how I got your hand

I don't even care, I don't need to know the reason

Let's not ruin this evening

I don't wanna brag 'cause I'll feel like a dag

I hope you wrote me back, I don't need to know the meaning

Don't wanna ruin this evening

[Verse 2]

Batten down the hatches

That storm cloud's coming right at us

We better get set alright

'Cause we could be in for a wild night

There's a bottle of grappa

How about I go grab it?

I'll get two glasses

And we can unwind through this sea of fishing line

[Chorus]

I don't understand how I got your hand

I don't even care, I don't need to know the reason

Let's not ruin this evening

I don't wanna brag 'cause I'll feel like a dag

I hope you wrote me back, I don't need to know the meaning

Don't wanna ruin this evening

I don't understand how I got your hand

I don't even care, I don't need to know the reason

Let's not ruin this evening

I don't wanna brag 'cause I'll feel like a dag

I hope you wrote me back, I don't need to know the meaning

Don't wanna ruin this evening
