Lyrics

Tape the windows before they break

Taking precautionary measures by securing the windows to prevent them from breaking.

I'll tuck the towels through the doors

Inserting towels to seal the doors, likely for protection from a hurricane.

Cuz I'm prepared for the hurricane

Expressing readiness and preparedness for the hurricane.

But I don't know if you are

Uncertain whether the person being referred to is prepared for the impending danger.

My favorite tree will crush my car

An emotional attachment (the favorite tree) might cause damage (crushing the car) during the hurricane.

The neighborhood will lose it all

Fear that the entire neighborhood might suffer significant losses.

The bridge will collapse and I regret to know

Anticipating the collapse of the bridge, leading to regret about the possible consequences.

Emergency services will never come

Doubtful of the promptness or effectiveness of emergency services in such a dire situation.

And I'll be okay but I don't know if you are

Confident about personal survival but unsure about the well-being of the other person.

I just found a boy electrocuted

Discovery or encounter with a boy who has been electrocuted, likely due to the storm.

The fallen line hit the ground and cried in the eye of the storm and I know

Realization of a dangerous situation where something fell and caused harm during the storm, leading to contemplation.

That it wasn't you but I got to thinking

Reflecting on the possibility of the person being involved in the incident, prompting introspection.

That if it was I'd already said my last words and they didn't weigh enough

If the person had been involved, regret about not expressing enough meaningful words before a possible tragedy.

I want a redo redo

Desire for a chance to do things differently, to rectify or change what was said or done before.

Cuz if I had known they were my last words they would've been I love you

Expressing a wish to have expressed love if those were indeed the final words spoken.

I love you

Reiterating the desire to express love ("I love you") in such a situation.

Tape the windows before they break

Repeating the need to secure windows due to the imminent danger.

I wouldn't wanna see your face cut

Not wanting to witness harm or injury on the other person's face.

Don't be a hero god knows we have enough

Advising against taking unnecessary risks and being heroic, as there are already enough dangers present.

In helicopters coming to pick us up

Anticipating rescue by helicopters, signaling the severity of the situation.

They're on the way I need to know if you are

Seeking assurance about the other person's safety, expressing concern and the need for confirmation.
