[intro]
Hmm
[verse 1]
It was calm before the storm
Velvet worlds to keep me warm
Deceivingly you wanted me to acclimate
It got cloudy in your arms
It caught me off my guard
Silly me, i thought that i could tolerate
[pre-chorus]
This big black sky
A total eclipse of my rational mind
When you crashed into my life
When you crashed into my life
[chorus]
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
The siren sounds, the levee breaks
And suddently i'm standing in the pouring rain
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
[interlude]
Hmm
[verse 2]
We used to walk the streets
Before they took the shape of grief
You left me in your wake alone to navigate
Now i'm out here in the open
And i don't know where i'm going
I wonder how much longer i can stand the weight
[pre-chorus]
Of this big black sky
A total eclipse of my rational mind
When you crashed out of my life
When you crashed out of my life
[chorus]
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
The siren sounds, the levee breaks
And suddently i'm standing in the pouring rain
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
[pre-chorus]
This big black sky
A total eclipse of my rational mind
When you crashed into my life
When you crashed into my life
[chorus]
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes, no
The siren sounds (siren sounds), the levee breaks (levee breaks)
And suddently i'm standing in the pouring rain (woah-oh)
Now i understand why they give names
To hurricanes, hurricanes, hmm
