Lyrics:

[English]

Driving in a fast lane

Counting mile marker signs

The empty seat beside me

Keeps you on my mind

Living in a heartache

Was never something I pursued

I can keep on chasing

What I can 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 in cryin'

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 can 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
