I was a stubborn middle child, you were a heartache in the wild
Threw my discretion to the wind, letting your clouds roll on in
And I used to curse the lightning, but we were metal for the striking
Never quite shiny, once the embers dimmed
But I can't bring myself to regret it
Maybe we were damned from the first time I touched your hand
You're a twister of a man
I watched you from the window
Praying you would pull me out again
I would cling to the ruins, sit and worship our wasteland
But babe, my knees grew tired, the season changed, I realized
A storm like you don't take the same path twice
I still chase you when I'm dreaming, but I wake up cold and screaming
Swept away the half of me that used to dance with dangerous things
I chart the ways that I knew better
Now I always check the weather
Run on down to the cellar, at the chance to rain
And I hate that I'll always remember
Maybe we were damned from the first time I touched your hand
You're a twister of a man
I watched you from the window
Praying you would pull me out again
I would cling to the ruins, sit and worship our wasteland
But babe, my knees grew tired, the season changed, I realized
A storm like you don't take the same path twice
Oh, the aftermath, the shattered glass
Is all I have to try and grasp, what the hell happened here
What happened here?
Damned from the first time I touched your hand
You're a twister of a man, I watched you from the window
Praying you would pull me out again
I would cling to the ruins, sit and worship our wasteland
And wait for all my life, I traded you for bluer skies
A storm like you don't take the same path twice
No, a storm like you don't take the same path twice
