Natural Disaster

Kevin Morby

Lyrics
I'm up in the mornin'
Then back down in the evenin'
It's a mystery, baby
What happens in between them

Say, "Don't you medicate?
Just breathe or meditate"
But I need somethin' faster
For my before and afters
My come up or come-downs from some natural disasters

'Cause prairies, they wildfire
Seas hurricane
The hills, they all landslide
Tornados strip the plains
And my whole earth quakes

When I find a good thing
Not sure that I deserve it
Like, "How did I earn this?"
I'm afraid I'll just hurt it

Oh, so I burn it down
And collect the insurance
And document my pain
Keep faces and names

Remember places and dates
Remember how they did me wrong
Remember how they changed me

And I'll take a picture
A before and after
Of the fault lines on my face
From all my tears and my laughter
The come-up or come downs from some natural disaster

'Cause the lowlands will flood
The desert will dry up
The hills will landslide
Volcanoes will erupt
And you will fall in love

That love may not want you
Then that love will haunt you
And no, you won't die
They'll just simply leave your side
Disappear into the mystery
Disappear into the little wide
And you'll cry, cry, baby, you'll cry

I'm up in the mornin'
Then back down in the evenin'
What happens between
Is a dream

Our before and afters
Our tears and our laughter
Songs on the Stratocaster
Our prayers stuck up in the raptors
Our epilogues after our chapters
And our natural disaster
I'm out in the flames, in the rain

Come to me, baby, come to me now
Come to me, baby, come to me now
Come to me, baby, come to me now
Come to me, baby, come to me now
To me now (mhm)
To me now (mhm)
To me now (mhm)
