The Hold Steady - 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
