[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
