Driving in a fast lane
Counting mile marker signs
The empty seat beside me
Keeps you on my mind

Living in a heartache
There's never something I pursue
I can 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 a 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 could find you
Down this broken line
Maybe you can find me
But I 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
