Stormy Weather
Embracing Chaos: The Tempestuous Allure of Unraveled Lives
Lyrics
I liked you better when you didn't have your shit together
I preferred you when your life was less organized or problematic.
You were a hurricane and I was in to stormy weather
You used to be a force of nature, and I enjoyed the excitement of challenging times.
I liked you better before
I liked you more in the past.
La da da
Expressing a nonspecific sound or filler, perhaps to convey a lack of interest or indifference.
I liked you better before
Reiteration of the preference for the previous version of the person.
7:03 with a venti you and me heading to work in a rush
Describing a specific time (7:03) and setting (heading to work) in the routine of a relationship.
Turn the clock back two or three months and we'd see us stumbling home from the club
Reflecting on the past, when the couple enjoyed late nights at clubs.
Things change, we grow up
Highlighting the inevitability of change and maturity in life.
We get rich, then blow up
Suggesting a cycle of success and downfall in life.
But I'd like to try and tell you
Expressing a desire to communicate despite the changes.
I liked you better when you didn't have your shit together
Reiteration of the preference for the previous version of the person.
You were a hurricane and I was in to stormy weather
Recalling the metaphor of the person as a hurricane and the speaker in stormy weather, emphasizing the thrill of instability.
I liked you better before
Expressing a preference for the past state of the relationship.

I liked you better before
-Back when my jaw hit the floor
Referring to a time when the person's actions were surprising or impressive.
You left me wanting for more
Expressing a sense of longing or desire for more excitement in the relationship.
But that was way back
Highlighting the distant past.
Yea you were losing your mind
Acknowledging a period when both individuals were facing challenges, but it was acceptable.
But so was I it was fine
Emphasizing that both individuals were somewhat chaotic during that time.
Livin without even tryin
Describing a carefree lifestyle of living without much effort.
But now we face facts
Contrasting the carefree past with the current need to face reality.
Storm clouds come and storm clouds go
Using storm clouds as a metaphor for challenges in life.
Now Im standing in the rain singing say it aint so
Expressing a feeling of being exposed to difficulties, singing about an undesirable situation.
Middle fingers to the sky, got me screaming do or die
Expressing frustration or defiance in response to challenges.
Who am I to get better over time?
Raising a rhetorical question about personal growth and improvement over time.
Things change, we grow up
