Lyrics
He wakes in the evening, stumbles for the shower,
His head is still pounding from the evening before,
Been on his own now six weeks and seven hours,
But it feels just like a moment since she walked out that door.
He's running on empty just like his old Chevy,
He can't see the road for the rain in his eyes,
It's snowing inside him, 'though the sun's high above,
He's a storm out of season, he's a man out of love.
He knew they had their problems, some of them big ones,
But he never expected things would turn out this way,
Feels like every finger breaking as he slowly lets go,
Of the hope she'll change her mind and come on back home.
He's running on empty just like his old Chevy,
He can't see the road for the rain in his eyes,
It's snowing inside him, 'though the sun's high above,
He's a storm out of season, he's a man out of love.
Numbness starts to dull the pain as he wonders to himself again,
Will this winter never end?
He's running on empty just like his old Chevy,
He can't see the road for the rain in his eyes,
It's snowing inside him, 'though the sun's high above,
He's a storm out of season, he's a man out of love.
It's snowing inside him, 'though the sun's high above,
He's a storm out of season, he's a man out of love.
