Russian wind

And I drive into the storm and I think about you!
About the music you discovered back in 2002
About how we met when you were only sixteen
Slender blonde with a wit as lean

I can smell the rain that’s falling in the distance
Trying to think over the crashing of pistons
In the same old car I had back when I met you
When the room in my head got booked anew

When I was 17 all I thought about was love, love, love
By 23 I learned it’d never be enough
Love is hardly what you need
And it doesn’t have the key
But I hope that love is what you feel if you still think about me

Cause there was never anything wrong with you
Just like there’s nothing wrong with me
And I know together we’ll be blue
But we won’t be enemies
And I hope that I can meet you when we’ve both become stars
When our habits aren’t just handcuffs and we get to like the same bars
We’ll have a drink and laugh and dance
Never raise a parting glass

There’s a wind being warmed by the lightning in the south
I drive home chewing on the corner of my mouth
