This Is How It Starts Lyrics by Tacoma Narrows

Good Mourning

2015

[Verse 1]
This is how it starts
A rising wind and hanging clouds
And the rain is falling soft
The trees are swaying black against the sky
[Chorus]
And we won't have to hold on
We won't have to wait
We won't have to slow down
Cause this is how it starts
[Verse 2]
The wind and rain pick up
People start to go inside
The windows boarded up
Their bathtubs full of candlelight
[Chorus]
And we won't have to hold on
We won't have to wait
We won't have to slow down
Cause this is how it starts
[Verse 3]
The trees they start to break
The cars they start to float on by
And the city lights are out
The power lines snapping in the night
[Chorus]
And we won't have to hold on
We won't have to wait
We won't havе to slow down
Cause this is how it starts
[Bridge]
My skin it feels alive
The city half asleep
Thе people all inside
Will go swimming in the streets
Swimming in the streets
Swimming in the streets
[Verse 4]
The wind and rain die down
The water's edge starts to subside
And the clouds are all but gone
The people start to come back outside
[Chorus]
And we won't have to hold on
We won't have to wait
We won't have to slow down
Cause this is how it starts
[Verse 5]
The men take off their hats
The children look up into the sky
And the women fold their arms
A crowd of people start to gather around
[Chorus]
And we won't have to hold on
We won't have to wait
We won't have to slow down
Cause this is how it starts
