TITLE: 5.CALM INSIDE THE STORM


I CAN GET UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED
BUT THAT WON'T STOP THE RAIN FROM COMING DOWN ON MY HEAD
I CAN LIVE MY LIFE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK
BUT WHEN I LOOK INSIDE IT'S HARD TO MAKE BELIEVE, AH AH

'N LATELY YOU SEEM SO FAR AWAY
I WISH I COULD SAY SOMETHING BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
I CAN FEEL YOUR EYES I DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT YOU
BOY, DISCONTENTMENT IS-A-SNEAKIN' THROUGH

YOU NEVER REALLY WANT ANYTHING
BUT WHAT YOU REALLY NEED IS EVERYTHING
I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING ONLY LIFE CAN BRING
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG
WO YEAH THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM

LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG
DON'T YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE HOLDING ME
BUT YOU'RE ALL LOCKED INSIDE
WHY DON'T YOU THROW ME YOUR KEYS
I'M LIKE A ROCKIN' SHIP ON YOUR ROLLIN' SEA
YOU KNOW CRASH LIGHTNIN' NEVER FRIGHTENS ME, NAH

YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED ANYTHING
BUT WHAT U REALLY NEEDED IS EVERYTHING
I WANNA GIVE U SOMETHING ONLY LIFE CAN BRING
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG

YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED
BUT WHAT U REALLY NEEDED
I WANNA GIVE U SOMETHING

YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED ANYTHING
BUT WHAT U REALLY NEEDED IS EVERYTHING
I GIVE U SOMETHING ONLY LIFE CAN BRING
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG

BUT WHAT U REALLY NEEDED IS EVERYTHING
I WANNA GIVE U SOMETHING ONLY LIFE CAN BRING
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG
THE CALM INSIDE THE STORM LOVE ME A LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG
