[Verse 1]
Sunrise on the edge of town
Sky looks sweet
But the wind’s got teeth
Paper cups rolling down cracked concrete
Feels like trouble
Circling me
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath tastes like metal rain
Hair stands up
I can feel your name
In the rumble under my skin
[Chorus]
You’re my sunshine in a storm cloud sky
Bright then you burn
Then you black out my mind
Lightning in your touch
I’m shaking
Can’t stand tall when the ground’s all breaking
You blow through me like a violent wind
Tear me apart just to start again
I’m alive
I’m afraid
I’m awake
With this storm in my veins (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Street signs bend
Plastic bags take flight
Loose gate slams
Like a war outside
You smile sharp
Say “We’ll be all right”
But your eyes
Say run for your life
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word hits like shattered glass
Soft then it cuts
Then the sky goes black
And I taste that thunder again
[Chorus]
You’re my sunshine in a storm cloud sky
Bright then you burn
Then you black out my mind
Lightning in your touch
I’m shaking
Can’t stand tall when the ground’s all breaking
You blow through me like a violent wind
Tear me apart just to start again
I’m alive
I’m afraid
I’m awake
With this storm in my veins
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Filtered vocal
Guitars building]
Clouds roll in
And I don’t run
Arms spread wide
Like I want this flood
If I drown here
Let it be in your rain
Let it be in your rage (hey!)
[Chorus]
You’re my sunshine in a storm cloud sky
Bright then you burn
Then you black out my mind
Lightning in your touch
I’m shaking
Can’t stand tall when the ground’s all breaking
You blow through me like a violent wind
Tear me apart just to start again
I’m alive
I’m afraid
I’m awake
With this storm in my veins
With this storm in my veins (yeah)
