the small calamities – you have always been a storm. lyrics

[intro]
your eyes conveyed much more than the words you stumbled through
so glazed over and torn on a summer afternoon

[verse 1, spoken]
ok, look, i’m sorry i called you “cinderella”
but my only songs on the radio are about you
what about you?
you can say you don’t think of me but you’re not as sneaky as you think

[verse 2]
do you think of the summer time, laughing til one?
i was dreaming of what these old wounds could become
it was wrong turns and listerine
fast burning mystery
covers of mr. november
do you still remember the way that it felt?
strawberry sundaes in september h+ll
got so many friends that we swore not to tell
so f+ckin’ naive to step out of my sh+ll

[prechorus 1]
take my breath away and don’t ever give it back
ironic how i prayed to get to where we’re at
and look how that worked out
[chorus 1]
at midnight, i’m calling
it’s my mistake for falling
colorful reminders that i’m haunted by your name
i was purple, you were gold
drenched in hurt but i was old enough to know that you have always been a storm

[verse 3]
just tell me if it was a rebound
or stuck in the background
reflections and facts down to fiction and maps of the route to your street
or posters of poems i’ll never complete
most of them know that i came back defeated
an echo of two years ago now repeated
but worse with the new wear i guess i proceeded
to rupture the tears that i never got treated

[prechorus 2]
break my f+cking heart or do your very best
go back to the start and put it to the test

[chorus 2]
at midnight, i’m calling
it’s my mistake for falling
colorful reminders that i’m haunted by your name
i was purple, you were gold
drenched in hurt but i was old enough to know that you have always been a storm
[verse 4]
i put on some cologne at a rest stop in tracy
before you erased me
but i cannot face me
i’m trying to trace where it all fell apart
the casual games that you played with my heart
‘cause everything changed, you left me out in the dark
reckless and wrecked in an ocean so far
but the orchestra rumbles along
there’s no way to reach you except in a song
emotional distancing when it feels wrong
it’s all of the worst things about moving on
one day i’ll wake up at 78
i won’t remember the season or state
i’ll never know all the reasons you hate
but i will remember the tiniest rays of light in your eyes
reflecting the night from fluorescent lies
i’m no good with goodbyes
i’m no good with goodbyes
i’m no good with goodbyes

[coda]
rip open the stars and leave an empty sky
august always ends and leaves us wondering why

[violin concerto reprise]
