Like Weather by Erica Freas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pieces of the future lie like weather on your face
Sometimes I think of how it was before
Sometimes I'm overtaken by the wave that brings the change
That flavor of the mouth against the shore
[Chorus]
And it stretches my skin
When I try to predict everything
I try to see the nighttime from the day
[Verse 2]
We've all taken measures to protect what we prefer
And hoarded those we've loved along the way
So, I went to sleep in hopes I'd wake up and be strong
Behind my lids would change what needed change
[Chorus]
And it stretches my skin
When I try to make you everything
I try to squeeze the nighttime from the day
[Verse 3]
I hope you taste what I am not
Hope you eat all that you want
Hope that we don't close our eyes or look away
There's years beneath our feet
And I still flinch when you flash your teeth
Baby, we have choice but can't choose not to change
[Outro]
'Cause you're bigger than me
And I won't be the wind and the sky and the sea
But it's not about what we say, it's 'bout what we believe
And it's not about dodging rain
'Cause we're gonna get wet either way
So let go like weather, what's better than more of the same?
Let go like weather, a tether won't hold back a name
Pieces of the future lie like weather on your face
Sometimes I think of how it was before
Sometimes I'm overtaken by the wave that brings the change
That flavor of the mouth against the shore
[Chorus]
And it stretches my skin
When I try to predict everything
I try to see the nighttime from the day
[Verse 2]
We've all taken measures to protect what we prefer
And hoarded those we've loved along the way
So, I went to sleep in hopes I'd wake up and be strong
Behind my lids would change what needed change
[Chorus]
And it stretches my skin
When I try to make you everything
I try to squeeze the nighttime from the day
[Verse 3]
I hope you taste what I am not
Hope you eat all that you want
Hope that we don't close our eyes or look away
There's years beneath our feet
And I still flinch when you flash your teeth
Baby, we have choice but can't choose not to change
[Outro]
'Cause you're bigger than me
And I won't be the wind and the sky and the sea
But it's not about what we say, it's 'bout what we believe
And it's not about dodging rain
'Cause we're gonna get wet either way
So let go like weather, what's better than more of the same?
Let go like weather, a tether won't hold back a name
