Lyrics
Natural Disasters
I show up to work; nothing but the same old, same old
You’re just working too but this feeling starts to take hold
Something ‘bout your voice, something ‘bout your smile
Made me want to turn and face the light
And what are the odds? I’m finding it hard to believe it all cuz
You started, you started this fire in my heart
You started, you started this flood that I can’t stop
You started, you started this hurricane of want
These natural disasters of love
You tell me your name, and you smile
When I tell you it means thank you
And suddenly I want to even though
It’s only seconds since I met you
Under the shy, under the hide
There’s something bold and new and already
I’m losing my words, I’m losing my cool and it’s all because
You started, you started this fire in my heart
You started, you started this flood that I can’t stop
You started, you started this hurricane of want
These natural disasters of love
We’re running out of time
We’re running out of light
We’re running out of ways to make it right…
