  • Jesse, I'm not joking around
    I see the crowd you're hanging with
    And those kids don't seem positive
    Don't all the cigs make you tired?
    You know I'll never ask you to change
    I'll only ask you to try

    I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do
    But twenty-two and banging around in restaurants
    Isn't that much prettier than banging around in bars
    And why do you keep going to his car?

    I don't want this to stop
    I want you to know
    I don't want you to settle
    I want you to grow
    Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor
    They're too hard already
    They'll only get harder

    Jesse, let's go for a ride
    I know a place that we could stop
    I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while
    I know a place that always makes you smile
    I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say
    I know you'll look around at the ground
    I know you'll probably cry
    You're a beautiful girl and you're a pretty good waitress
    But Jesse I don't think I'm the guy

    I don't want this to stop
    I want you to know
    I don't want you to settle
    I want you to grow
    Forget everything that I showed you this summer
    You're too hard already
    You'll only get harder

    But they didn't name her for a saint
    They named her for a storm
    So how is she supposed to think about
    How it's gonna feel in the morning?

    She said if Heaven's hypothetical
    And if the cigs keep you warm
    Then how is she supposed to think about
    How it's gonna move in the morning?

    About how it's gonna move in the morning?
    About how it's gonna move in the morning?

    Hurricane Jesse's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
    She don't want to wait 'til she gets older
    Hurricane Jesse's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
    She don't want to wait
    She said it only gets harder Writer/s: Craig Finn, Franz Nicolay, Tad Kubler
