lyrics

Stormy At The Top
V1
We had another fall, broke like a vase
We had to glue it back together
We’re not like those other people, nothing out of place
With us so much bad weather

V2
You’re a cannon ball, I’m a spinning plate
Any minute someone could come crashing
But there’s something better when we do
We never stay the same
With you I wanna get into the action

Pre
When there’s choppy water at the top of the waves
Looks like we might need saving
But far below there’s an anchor buried
Never gets too scary

Chorus
It might be
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
I’d rather it’s that than the other way around

V3
Sometimes I’m the runner, then I’m on the chase
We get centrifugal, we push the edges
But the pulling always brings me back to look you in the face
You are my home, it passes

Pre
When there’s choppy water at the top of the waves
Looks like we might need saving
But far below there’s an anchor buried
Never gets too scary

Chorus
It might be
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
I’d rather it’s that than the other way

Bridge
Nothing to hide
Not saying lines
Just us here
The brighter side
Has dark nights
Just be here

(There’s an anchor
You are safe here
You are safe, dear)

I will hear you when no one else is listening
Bring on the storm
It’s better than pretending
That it’s not
Stormy at the top
Stormy at the top

Chorus
It might be stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
I’d rather it’s that than the other way around

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday. This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26

From start to finish, this album has taken me places. I've been listening to it non-stop for the past year and a half. I honestly don't have a single favorite because I keep finding a new favorite. So I settled on the opening track because once it starts, you can't stop. ya_huckleberry
