On the day that we left the neighbourhood heart skipped a beat.
Oh the trees folded up and they shook as we drove down the street
I said to myself 'We're finally getting away,
When we come back I know that they'll all look the same'

Now let's go to our city and we'll change overnight
We won't think about leaving
Oh why would we, it's too good a time

A hurricane hit
While we were missing
Oh, can anybody tell me
Where the damage is?

On the day that we left the phones and the power were down
Oh the wind doubled up and it slammed every door in the town
You cried and you screamed and you put every faith in the walls
When it was done
The magic it left with the storm

Oh we moved to our city and we changed all the night
We won't think about leaving
Now why would we it's too good a time?

A hurricane hit
While we were missing
Oh can anybody tell me
Where the damage is?

Above the waistline
Beneath my skin
You're not afraid to dig those finger nails in

We don't need our childhood
I'm so sure now I was there
By the time the winds have erased us
Oh I may aswell have lived here with you if anywhere

A hurricane hit
While we were missing
Oh can anybody tell me
Where the damage is

Above the waistline
Beneath my skin
She's not afraid to dig those finger nails in
