///*****/// [Intro: Melodic acoustic guitar picking with atmospheric electric swells] [Verse 1: Intimate, storytelling, stripped back] The old man at the station said, "Son, don't go" The sky was turning purple and the wind started to blow He told me she’s a rhythm that you can't quite catch A handful of dry wood and a single lit match I saw the clouds rolling, I felt the air change But I’ve always been a sucker for the sound of the rain [Pre-Chorus: Subtle build-up, steady rhythmic drums kick in] By the time the sirens started singing their song I was already too far gone [Chorus: Anthemic, driving, full band, polished Nashville sound] She’s a red flag waving in the summer heat The kind of "bad idea" that’s too damn sweet I knew the levee was gonna break today But I parked my heart in the path anyway Yeah, she’s a red flag... and I’m colorblind Running through the warning signs every single time [Verse 2: Intimate but with a steady driving beat] I saw the wreckage she left in her wake A trail of cold hearts and promises she’d break I should’ve turned south, I should’ve run fast But I’m a ghost hunter looking for a love that’ll last [Chorus: Anthemic, driving, melodic hooks] She’s a red flag waving in the summer heat The kind of "bad idea" that’s too damn sweet I knew the levee was gonna break today But I parked my heart in the path anyway Yeah, she’s a red flag... and I’m colorblind Running through the warning signs every single time [Bridge: Moody, atmospheric, building tension] The windows are shaking, the lights are flickering low There’s nowhere left for a guy like me to go [Guitar Solo: Driving, melodic, slightly overdriven Texas-style solo] [Chorus: Full energy, powerful vocals] She’s a red flag waving in the summer heat The kind of "bad idea" that’s too damn sweet I knew the levee was gonna break today But I parked my heart in the path anyway Yeah, she’s a red flag... and I’m colorblind Running through the warning signs every single time [Outro: Fade out, atmospheric electric guitar swells, soft acoustic finish] Every single time... (Let the rain fall down) [End]
