[Verse 1]
Driving in a 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

[Chorus]
Oooh, skies are black and blue
Thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm


[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oooh, skies are black and blue
I`m thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm

[Post-Chorus]
Oooh, after all that we`ve been through
There ain`t nothin` new
Here in the calm after the storm

[Bridge]
Maybe I can find you
Down this broken line
Maybe you can find me
I guess we`ll know in time



[Chorus]
Oooh, skies are black and blue
Thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm

[Outro]
There ain`t nothing new
Here in the calm after the storm
