Sooner / Later - Kasey Anderson

Well the storm came in like a drunk declaration

The streets were empty, all the lights went out

Two lovesick kids in a hallway trembling

Feet shuffling, nervous, eyes filled with doubt

He looked at her and then she started laughing

It was wild and electric like the noise above

He said, «darlin' some things are just bound to happen

And sooner or later we’re gonna fall in love»

With the snow still whispering down on New York City

He walked the carpet of that cheap hotel

Opened his door and there he found her waiting

She kicked out the window and down they fell

Fifteen stories through the wind and weather

'Til they landed softly on the streets below

She said, «honey, right now we’re passin' through together

But sooner or later this will feel like home»

So they closed the curtains on one last sunset summer

Stole what they wanted, left the fools to cry

He took her hand somewhere in California

And didn’t let go until the Georgia line

He never thought he’d lose her for a second

He never thought he’d watch it slip away

But your pulse gets weak when you’re too scared to check it

Sooner or later he’d learn the hard way

She lit roman candles in their old apartment

While he bled out on some stranger’s curb

Mumbling about how it all comes around

And sooner or later we get what we deserve

She stayed out all night with all the hometown heroes

Just like she’d done a hundred times before

Tossed her wishes off the overpass

And swore she didn’t need 'em anymore

He looked up and saw the sky was open

As he watched her moving back across the bridge

Then he rubbed his eyes and went right back to hoping

That sooner or later she’d come back to him

Sooner or later she’d come back to him

Sooner or later she’d come back to him
