Summer Storms - Jake Etheridge

I figured you’d just run out of things to say

Like you sometimes did in the dead of the night

Thought for sure we’d be just fine come morning

But through cracks of early eyes

I stumbled out of the bed and through our apartment

Called your name out twice

Where’d you go, darling?

And I guess you don’t know what you’re doing

Until you’ve done it too much

And the best that I had to offer

Was never gonna be quite enough

You spent one too many mornings

Just a choking down this town

Guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out

In the drawer by the kitchen sink

There’s a cracked coffee cup and a picture of you and me

Yeah that always was where we kept the broken things

So I fumble through the mess

Old triple A’s and a half pack of cigarettes

Touched every lonely key like the beads of a Rosary

And I guess you don’t know what you’re doing

Until you’ve done it too much

And the best that I had to offer

Was never gonna be quite enough

And you spent one too many mornings

Just a choking down this town

I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out

'Cause you always loved summer storms

And you followed the lightning home

'Cause you spent one too many mornings

Just a choking down this town

I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out

I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out
