Hurricane J

Jessie, I'm not jokin' around
I see the crowd you're hangin with
and those kids don't see positive
Don't all those cigs make you tired?
You know I never ask you to change, I only ask you to try
I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do
but 22 and bangin' around in restaurants ain't that much prettier
than bangin' 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 go
Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor
You're too hard already, you'll only get harder

Jessie, let's go for a ride
I know a place that we could stop and kiss for a while
I know a place that makes you smile
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say
I know you'll look at the ground, I know you'll probably cry
You're a beautiful girl and you're a pretty good waitress
but Jessie, 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 go
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 move in the morning
she said it's balanced hypothetical
and if the cigs keep you warm
then how is she supposed to think about
how it's gonna move in the morning
'bout how it's gonna move in the morning

Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
She don't wanna wait till she gets older
Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
She don't wanna wait, she said it only gets harder
