They met in a hurricane

Standing in the shelter out of the rain

She tucked a note into his hand

Later on they took his car

Drove on down where the beaches are

He wrote her name in the sand

Never even let go of her hand



Somehow they stayed that way

For those 5 days in May

Made all the stars around them shine

Funny how you can look in vain

Living on nerves and such sweet pain

A loneliness that cuts so fine

To find the face you've seen a thousand times



Sometimes the world begins

To set you up on your feet again

It wipes the tears from your eyes

How will you ever know

The way that circumstances go

Always gonna hit you by surprise

I know my part

You were there

In everything I've done

You are the one



Looking back it's hard to tell

Why they stood while others fell

All I know is one cloudy day

They both just ran away

Rain on the windshield heading south

She loved the lines around his mouth



Sometimes the world begins

To set you up on your feet again

It wipes the tears from your eyes

How will you ever know

The way that circumstances go



Always gonna hit you by surprise

I know my part

You were there

In everything I've done

You are the one
