Yourself Before The Storm

It started with the first kiss on the best lips
Life had never gone this well
Knowing you were it
Well I was fortunate, I could tell
It started when the sunrise opened your eyes
And the ocean waves crashed in
Full of butterflies and to my surprise
You said the most beautiful thing

You said
"Don't hold it against me
For admitting that I've never felt this way before"

So tell me why it doesn't kill you to move on?
And why I only see rain when you're gone?
Your heart's not in the right place anymore
And I need you to be yourself before the storm

Yet another memory running empty
That I wish I could relive
I'd give you so much more than that
If there was more that I could give
Maybe there's a reason, change in season
Causing things to go so wrong
And maybe you'd be happier
If it hadn't been so long since you said

"Don't hold it against me
For admitting that I've never felt this way before"

So tell me why it doesn't kill you to move on?
And why I only see rain when you're gone?
Your heart's not in the right place anymore
And I need you to be yourself before the storm

Closer to comfort but so far away
By calling your name the sky faded to gray
0 to 60 in the course of a fall
But 60 to 0 in no time at all
I told you I told you I'd leave you alone
But it goes against everything I've ever known
I waited a month without making a sound
And now I've never been so loud

So tell me why it doesn't kill you to move on?
And why I only see rain when you're gone?
Your heart's not in the right place anymore
And I need you to be yourself before the storm

Yourself before the storm
And I need you
