Predictable Storm

She can feel it in the wind, the seasons will change
She can see his face when the golden leaves wave
She can't understand, no she can't comprehend
How this all went down, how it slipped through her hands

He walks through the streets, hiding from this deafening roar
Feeling so strange like he's been here before
He can't understand, no he can't comprehend
How selfish he was when he said they'd always be friends

Like a predictable storm that comes year after year
She fights the tears that make an obvious scene
Like the one in her favorite movie
Where the snow begins and she walks up to him
He gives her his love and she shares hers with him

Deep in the night he's all alone wondering if she's home
Screaming so loud to a wakening earth
Will she believe him if he tells her the loneliness hurts
But the September sky hints to his defeat
He doesn't care and springs to his feet

Way across town she stares at the stars
While the engine still runs in her old blue car
It all comes together as she picks up her clothes
She points her car towards his home and off she goes
The excitement in her could light up this night
The music so loud it fills up her mind
She rehearses what she'll say over and over and over again

Its at the park where they finally meet
A running hug and they don't say a thing
He looks at her and she back at him
Finally free to start loving again
The silent promise that's shared in between
Will one day unlock how they wanted to be

The September moon shines as they walk in the dark
Far away from the park that started it all
He's never been so happy, she's never been more sure
For their lonely lives they have found the cure
