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

oooohhhh 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
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

oooohhhh skies are black and blue
I'm thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
oooooohh after all that we've been through
(baby) 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

oooohhhh 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 аfter the ѕtorm

Calme après la tempête

Roulant sur la voie rapide
Comptant les bornes kilométriques
Ce siège vide à côté de moi
Me fait sans cesse penser à toi

Vivre dans le chagrin
N'a jamais été quelque chose que j'ai recherché
Je ne peux pas continuer à courir après
Ce que je ne peux pas être pour toi

Oooohhhh le ciel est noir et bleu
Je pense à toi
Ici dans le calme après la tempête

Des larmes sur l'autoroute
De l'eau dans mes yeux
Cette pluie ne va pas nous changer
A quoi ça sert de pleurer

Je pourrais faire part de mon regret
Mais je ne veux pas mentir
Je veux seulement savoir si rester
Est mieux qu'un adieu

Oooohhhh le ciel est noir et bleu
Je pense à toi
Ici dans le calme après la tempête
Oooooooohh après tout ce que nous avons traversé
(Mon amour) il n'y a rien de nouveau
Ici dans le calme après la tempête

Je peux peut-être te trouver
Au bout de cette ligne en pointillée
Tu peux peut-être me trouver
Nous le saurons un jour

Oooohhhh le ciel est noir et bleu
Je pense à toi
Ici dans le calme après la tempête
Oooooooohh après tout ce que nous avons traversé
(Mon amour) il n'y a rien de nouveau
Ici dans le calme aprèѕ lа tempête
