about

This is a song about hoping for the best when the worst is all there is left.

lyrics

Move out to Ohio
You'll like it, we swear
The weather is lovely
And the skies are always bare

They told me it's perfect
That's a lie, I see it clear
I've started regretting
Ever shacking up out here

The clouds on the horizon are looking mighty dark to me
And I feel humidity rising
I look outside my window and I see the circling storm
And not much longer now

You'll come smashing through my door
And leave me without a chance to run
This apartment isn't big enough for both of us
I'll be lucky to survive
The wreck that you leave behind
You're the whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight
The whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight

The pressure is dropping
You're still in the air
The sirens are yelling
All the streets and shops are bare

There's nothing between us
But electrified sky
I always used to love the thunder
But now I have to wonder why

I see you coming closer; I'm saying my last words
And hoping you can't hear me
I never once expected I'd be staring down a whirlwind's eyes
They don't make girls like you back home

But soon you'll come smashing through my door
And leave me without a chance to run
This apartment isn't big enough for both of us
I'll be lucky to survive
The wreck that you leave behind
You're the whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight
The whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight

There's been a few times
When I thought that the world would be quieter
If everyone else was dead
But that isn’t something you say out loud
And who knows? Maybe you're right
Maybe my outlook could be a bit brighter
But there's nothing to do but watch the world drown
When I'm trapped under your storm cloud

You told me you'd leave, you promised you'd go
But there's something about you that's pleasant to know
In a matter of time I'll be out there again
And praying for rain just to let you come in

Come on, smash right through my door
And leave me without a chance to run
This apartment isn't big enough for both of us
I'll be lucky to survive
The wreck that you leave behind
You're the whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight
The whirlwind over Cincinnati tonight
