Before the Weather Breaks

I can feel it before it breaks. [Verse 1] I can tell when somebody’s leaving By the way they set their glass down I can tell when a fight is coming By the silence before the sound I know which floorboard wakes you Which smile means you’re already gone People say I think too much People have been wrong [Pre-Chorus] So when the birds left early And the dogs wouldn’t come inside Everybody kept on talking I kept watching the sky [Chorus] I feel it before the weather breaks Pressure in my chest, copper on my tongue Everybody laughs until the windows shake Then everybody asks how I knew what was coming I don’t know I never know I only know when it changes I feel it before the weather breaks [Verse 2] I can hear when someone’s lying Even when the words come clean There’s a little pause before it There’s a place they never mean I’ve watched love turn into distance Long before the bags got packed By the time they call it over I’ve already lived through that [Pre-Chorus] So when the room goes quiet And everybody says I’m fine I stop listening to everybody And start listening to mine [Chorus] I feel it before the weather breaks Pressure in my chest, copper on my tongue Everybody laughs until the windows shake Then everybody asks how I knew what was coming I don’t know I never know I only know when it changes I feel it before the weather breaks [Bridge] Maybe I’m tired of proving What I felt before it came Maybe I don’t need permission To get out of the rain If you want to stay here laughing Stay I’m going home [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] I feel it before the weather breaks Every little warning humming through my blood You can call me crazy till the whole house shakes I’ve been called worse by people I once loved I don’t know I never know I only know when it changes And it’s changing again
