Joy
Weather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just give me one more time
To take you away from the cold
I know that I'm the only one
That you want to hold

Took yourself away
Let's just see what these clouds do
When is the next summer? See you
You took yourself away
Away, we're together
I could have changed the WEATHER
Took yourself away
You took yourself away
You took yourself away
You took yourself away

I tried to take you from the cold
You left me, you're 17 years old
Why didn't I see the signs?
I couldn't read between the lines
The storms in your head keep on fighting
For so heavy now cause the lightning
I could of made it better
I'm sorry that I couldn't change the WEATHER

You took yourself away




You took yourself away
You took yourself away
