Oh Calamity! Lyrics
When I was younger I was certain
That I'd be fine without a queen
Just a king inside his castle
With an ocean in between
Now all I do is sit and count the miles from you to me
Oh, calamity
We get older by the hour
Watch the changes from afar
Keep forgetting to remember
Where we've been is who we are
Now all I do is wonder
Why we ever set the scene
Oh, calamity
It's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
I'll remember nights alone
And waking up to dial tones
Always found my greatest moments
In the sound of your hellos
Now I struggle to recall
The reasons you would come to leave
Oh, calamity
It's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
If I catch you on the corner
Will you even know it's me?
Will I look familiar to you?
Do you offer me a seat?
Can we find a new beginning?
Do you turn the other cheek?
Oh, calamity
It's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change but we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
Come back to me
That I'd be fine without a queen
Just a king inside his castle
With an ocean in between
Now all I do is sit and count the miles from you to me
Oh, calamity
Watch the changes from afar
Keep forgetting to remember
Where we've been is who we are
Now all I do is wonder
Why we ever set the scene
Oh, calamity
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
And waking up to dial tones
Always found my greatest moments
In the sound of your hellos
Now I struggle to recall
The reasons you would come to leave
Oh, calamity
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
Will you even know it's me?
Will I look familiar to you?
Do you offer me a seat?
Can we find a new beginning?
Do you turn the other cheek?
Oh, calamity
No act to change what we've become
No act to change but we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we've built a wreck out of me
Oh, calamity
Oh, calamity
Come back to me

It's a story of a guy and his broken relationship. When he was younger he would dream he would be just fine without her but oh how wrong he was. Later, the relationship has drained them both so much that they are nothing but strangers. Such a shame what the relationship turned into. A calamity- what it turned both of them into.
