calm after the storm

driving in the fast lane

counting mile marker signs

the empty seat beside me

keeps you on my mind

livin' in the heartache

was never something i pursued

i can't keep on chasing

what i can't be for you

ooh skies are black and blue

i'm thinking about you

here in the calm after the storm

tears on the highway

water in my eyes

this rain ain't gonna change us

so what's the use to cry?

i could say i'm sorry

but i don't wanna lie

i just wanna know if staying

is better than goodbye

ooh skies are black and blue

i'm thinking about you

here in the calm after the storm

ooh after all that we've been through

there ain't nothing new

here in the calm after the storm

maybe i can find you

down this broken line

maybe you can find me

guess we'll know in time

ooh skies are black and blue

i'm thinking about you

here in the calm after the storm

there ain't nothing new

here in the calm after the storm
