Calm After the Storm
Echoes of Love Lost in the Calm After the Storm
Lyrics
Driving in a fast lane
Expressing the speed and intensity of life's journey.
Counting mile marker signs
Noting the passing of milestones along the way.
The empty seat beside me
Highlighting an empty seat as a reminder of a significant absence.
Keeps you on my mind
Indicating a persistent thought of someone special.
Livin' in the heartache
Reflecting on past heartaches, perhaps caused by pursuing something elusive.
Was never something I pursued
Acknowledging that enduring heartache was not a chosen path.
I can't keep on chasing
Admitting the futility of chasing what cannot be attained for another person.
What I can't be for you
Recognizing personal limitations in meeting someone else's needs.
Ooh skies are black and blue
Describing a gloomy emotional state with stormy imagery.
I'm thinking about you
Expressing a preoccupation with thoughts of a significant person.
Here in the calm after the storm
Describing a period of tranquility following a tumultuous emotional experience.
Tears on the highway
Referencing tears and emotional distress on life's journey.
Water in my eyes
Noting the physical manifestation of emotions through tears.
This rain ain't gonna change us
Asserting that external challenges won't alter the relationship.
So what's the use to cry?
Questioning the usefulness of crying in the face of inevitable challenges.
I could say I'm sorry
Acknowledging the possibility of expressing regret without sincerity.
But I don't wanna lie
Preferring honesty over insincere apologies.
I just wanna know if staying
Contemplating whether staying in the relationship is better than parting ways.
Is better than goodbye
Expressing the uncertainty of the future in the relationship.
Ooh skies are black and blue
Reiterating the emotional turmoil with stormy imagery.
I'm thinking about you
Continuing to dwell on thoughts of the significant person.
Here in the calm after the storm
Describing the tranquility experienced after the emotional storm.
Ooh after all that we've been through
Emphasizing the familiarity of post-challenge situations in the relationship.
There ain't nothing new
Suggesting a lack of novelty in the current emotional state.
Here in the calm after the storm
Repeating the theme of calmness after facing relationship challenges.
Maybe I can find you
Expressing the possibility of reconnecting despite difficulties.
Down this broken line
Searching for the significant person along a metaphorical broken path.
Maybe you can find me
Leaving open the possibility of the other person seeking a reunion.
I guess we'll know in time
Acknowledging that the outcome will only be known with time.
Ooh skies are black and blue
Repeating the storm imagery, indicating persistent emotional struggles.
I'm thinking about you
Continuing to be preoccupied with thoughts of the significant person.
Here in the calm after the storm
Describing the ongoing tranquility in the aftermath of emotional challenges.
Ooh after all that we've been through
Reiterating the familiarity of post-challenge situations in the relationship.
There ain't nothing new
Affirming the lack of novelty in the current emotional state.
Here in the calm after the storm
Echoing the theme of calmness after facing relationship challenges.
There ain't nothing new
Stressing the enduring nature of the emotional aftermath.
Here in the calm after the storm
Repeating the idea of tranquility in the aftermath of emotional turmoil.
