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

Living in a heartache
There is something I pursue.
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 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 nothin' new
Here in the calm after the storm.

Maybe I could find you
Down this broken line.
Maybe you can find me
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.
