lyrics

It was a grey and gloomy cold September day when you walked into our homeroom. You were tall and sophisticated. You were sad in a pretty way. You were bright against the sky’s gloom. As you sat down at your desk, I tried to play it cool. I couldn’t believe I was meeting my future in high school. So I tapped you on the shoulder, as you turned I could smell your hair. You said “Hi.” And I forgot why I was standing there.

In the summer the sun was hot, the UV gave me hives. I spent my days beside the wading pool. Ever selfless, you got a job in a white chair saving lives. I tried to drown so I’d need a rescue. As you tried to get a grip on my chlorinated skin, I tried to speak through all the water I had taken in but I couldn’t. I just lay there and coughed as you rolled your eyes you said to the crowd: “does anyone know this guy?”

If I was your weatherman in your kitchen every day, not a meteorologist just someone pointing out the rain. I’d be on your favourite morning show, I’d have that local kind of fame. I could be your weatherman, you would know my name.

By winter, the ground was bare the snow still hadn’t showed and all the ice up north had melted. You were at the pipeline march blocking traffic in the road and once again I felt connected. As I ran to join the crowd, I couldn’t help but be surprised the cops were binding all your wrists with plastic ties. So I offered up my hands, we’d be locked up together in bliss. You said “no, not him, he just got here, he’s not part of this”

But if I was your weatherman in your kitchen everyday I want to be your weatherman, and host the Santa Claus parade. Won’t you let me be your weatherman? You’ll never have to be afraid of all those meteorologists and their forecast for rain. I’d be on your favourite morning show, I’d have that local kind of fame. I could be your weatherman, you would know my name. Our kids will say “that’s my dad, the weatherman, everyone knows his name.” So won’t you let me be your weatherman?
