Under That Cloud

Adrienne Pierce

Transparent blue raincoats and the falls crashing down

I could see through you when you showed me your hometown

Kept throwing myself up against your wall

I was still learning how to be broken and small

And I used to watch all the dark clouds form

I used to be drawn to that storm

Now I, I am never going back

I, I am never going back, never going back under

Never going back, can't do that

Never going back under that cloud

Tried to pull you away from that blue TV light

And show you that there's still stars in the sky

I was searching through pages of the wrong book

Everything is right outside I just had to look

And I used to watch all the dark clouds form

I used to be drawn to that storm

Now I, I am never going back

I, I am never going back, never going back under

Never going back, can't do that

Never going back under that cloud

Don't hide your arms, don't hide your scars

Don't imagine they can give your windows bars

Don't back down, don't apologize

You are perfectly imperfect in my eyes

And I used to watch all the dark clouds form

I used to be drawn to that storm

Now I, I am never going back

I, I am never going back, never going back under

Never going back, can't do that

Never going back under that cloud
