Lyrics
(ACAPELLA) August...
nights on the Lorain pier, you know that quiet before the storm?
That's how I'm practicing my face for the morning you're not warm.
I can feel the pressure changing, a drop of two degrees.
Rehearsing how to stand up straight when my knees feel like a breeze.
[Chorus]
The barometer's dropping, baby.
And you keep saying "stop it, maybe."
But this ain't thunder, it's just the static air between us.
[Verse 2]
I've already mapped the wind shear where your voice is gonna break.
Drawn the isobars of silence for the excuses you'll make.

And you keep saying "stop it, maybe."
But this ain't thunder, it's just the static air between us.
[Bridge]
This isn't a forecast, darling, it's a prayer against the front.
That all this heavy humidity is just some kind of atmospheric stunt.
[Outro]
Just the static air...
A high lonesome whistle blows.
