Hurricane
Bridgit Mendler Lyrics

Think the clouds are clogging up my brain
The singer feels mentally burdened, just like how the clouds in the sky accumulate and block the sun.

Like the weather drain same as the tears on my face
The tears on the singer's face are akin to the downpour from a storm cloud, both draining away with gravity.

And I'm stuck up in the storm I
The singer is caught in a tumultuous situation that they cannot control, similar to being caught in the middle of a storm.

I guess I'll be alright
Despite the turbulence, the artist is trying to remain positive and hopeful of a better outcome.

Then it hits me like
Something sudden and unexpected dawns on the artist.

Got me flying til I'm crying and I'm down on my knees
The singer feels helpless and vulnerable, as if thrown around by a powerful wind like a leaf, until they are reduced to tears and kneeling.

That's what Dorothy was afraid of
The singer references the singer from the Wizard of Oz, who was petrified of tornadoes, fearful of being lost.

The sneaky tornado
The storm acts as a treacherous adversary, slyly trying to deceive the artist and catch them off guard, using the destructive force of a tornado.

There's no place like home
The artist references a famous quote from the Wizard of Oz, indicating that they want the safety and security of being with their loved ones, like how Dorothy wanted to go back to Kansas.

I'm boarding up the windows locking up my heart
The artist is protecting themselves from any further emotional damage, like how you would secure a home from incoming storm damage.

It's like every time the wind blows I feel it tearing us apart
The singer is sensitive to any kind of metaphorical 'wind' that comes their way, causing harm and strain on their relationship.

Every time he smiles I let him in again
Despite the pain and hurt, the artist cannot resist their partner's charm and affection, allowing them back into their life.

When you're standing in the eye of the hurricane
The singer is referencing the innermost, calm region of a hurricane, that still exists at the center of a chaotic storm.

Here comes the sun, here comes the rain
The singer is acknowledging the cyclical nature of storms, that they always bring change and eventual redemption.

He picks me up like He's got the way of the hurricane
The singer's partner is woefully unpredictable, much like how the wrath of a hurricane is often unexpected and chaotic.

And think I'm fine like I'm in the eye of the hurricane
The artist's partner can sometimes make them feel safe and protected, despite life's sometimes treacherous 'storms'.

And I'm floating, floating
The artist feels as if they are unmoored and adrift, like being carried away on strong ocean winds.

And I don't know it, know it
Despite their disorientation and confusion, the singer still understands and realizes that they are being carried away on unpredictable whims.

And I'm gonna drop
The singer fears that they are losing control and rapidly spiraling towards an inevitable downfall.

He's got the way
The artist acknowledges their partner's unpredictable, hurricane-like nature.

The air's getting cold
The artist senses that things are changing, much like how the air temperature drops during a storm.

When you're standing in the eye of the hurricane
The artist repeats the earlier phrase, emphasizing their sense of being at the center of a storm - whether an actual storm or an emotional one.
