owl city - the tornado lyrics

[verse 1]
it was just startin’ to drizzle as i walked out the door
but i’ve delivered papers in the rain like that before
3:30 in the morning, i was happy as a lark
as i grabbed my bike and rode into the dark
i peddled through the neighbourhood, the weather on my mind
the wind was pickin’ up and howling louder all the time
the sky churned like a cauldron and the distant thunder roared
and i knew that i was in for quite a storm
a little rain never hurt no one, so i kept pressing on
and i triеd to tell myself, “it’s always darkest bеfore the dawn”
[verse 2]
lightning struck an oak tree as i leapt off my bike
the sirens started wailing but there was no good place to hide
i knew without a doubt, there was a twister touching down
so i crawled into a culvert to wait it out
the little bit of courage i had left was almost gone
but i tried to tell myself, “it’s always darkest before the dawn”

[verse 3]
and then the nightmare started, it got deafeningly loud
every fibre in me screamed out but i couldn’t make a sound
the whirling of a vortex, a violent carousel
it sounded like a freight train was dragging me to h+ll

[instrumental]
and this was my prayer
save me from this terrible nightmare

[verse 4]
that was when i saw my family with my eyes shut real’ tight
would they know how much i loved them if this was how i died?
no, i vowed i’d not be murdered by a monster in the sky that night
but if i went home to heaven, at least that’s where i’d belong
yeah, i tried to tell myself, “it’s always darkest before the dawn”
so i kept hanging on
i kept hanging on
[instrumental]

[verse 5]
the shadows slowly melted as i was hunkered down
’till at last, the worst was over, the storm was dying out
i crept out of that culvert and i went weak in the knees
’cause what i saw, was a somber sight to see
there was nothing but destruction and wreckage in that town
cars were upside down and houses levelled to the ground
a twisted trampoline was hangin’ from the power line
i blinked a tear back as i felt lucky to be alive
and that was how i learned to live when you can run but you can’t hide
how to feel trapped in a tunnel but come out the other side
’cause with all the stormy weather in the world
you learnt to take life one storm at a time, you don’t have to be afraid
and now, when there’s bad weather on the way, i stay calm
and i keep hanging on because it’s always darkest before the dawn

[outro]
and i keep hanging on
i keep hanging on
