Thunder Out of Air

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] Kevin smoked cigarettes behind the loading door, Thinking no one knew what the ash was for. He’d tuck the pack beneath his Sunday shirt, Come back in smiling like nothing hurt. [Chorus] Kevin had a way of making thunder out of air, Tyler took the blame while Kevin stood there. Then he’d point toward home when the arguing was through, Like the whole wide world was something Tyler had to do. [Verse 2] His favorite thing was yelling at Tyler by the sink, Listing every wrong before the boy could think. “Tell me what you did, tell me why you’re late,” Then he’d leave the room and let the silence wait. [Chorus] Kevin had a way of making thunder out of air, Tyler took the blame while Kevin stood there. Then he’d point toward home when the arguing was through, Like the whole wide world was something Tyler had to do. [Verse 3] Miss Dean held down the burger joint all day, Flipping little miracles on a stainless-steel tray. Kevin’s wife kept count, kept the coffee hot, Kept the doors wide open when the money came in knots. [Bridge] Tyler slaved away where the sweating pipes ran, Refrigeration humming like a tired old man. Cold on his knuckles, grease along his sleeve, Building something steady no one thought to see. [Final Chorus] Kevin had a way of making thunder out of air, But Tyler learned to breathe beneath it there. Miss Dean kept serving, Tyler kept the line, And Kevin’s empty shouting lost its place in time. [Outro] Kevin smoked alone behind the loading door, No one asked him what the cigarettes were for.
