[Verse 1]
Jessie, I'm not joking around
I see the crowd you're hanging with
And those kids don't seem positive
Don't all those cigs make you tired?
You know I'll 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 banging around in restaurants
Isn't that much prettier than banging around in bars
And why do you keep going to his car?

[Chorus]
I don't want this to stop, I want you to know
I don't want you to settle, I want you to grow
Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor
You're too hard already, you'll only get harder

[Verse 2]
Jessie, let's go for a ride
I know a place that we could stop
I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while
I know a place that always 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
[Chorus]
I don't want this to stop, I want you to know
I don't want you to settle, I want you to grow
Forget everything that I showed you this summer
You're too hard already, you'll only get harder

[Bridge]
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 feel in the morning?
She said if heaven's hypothetical
And if the cigs keep you warm
Then how's she supposed to think about
How it's gonna move in the morning
'Bout how it's gonna move in the morning?

[Outro]
Hurricane Jessie's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
She don't wanna wait till she gets older
Hurricane Jessie's gonna crash into the harbor this summer
She don't wanna wait, she said it only gets harder
