[English]

I can get up

...

On the right side of the bed

But that won't stop the rain

From coming down on my head

I can live my life

Playing hide and seek

But when I look inside

It's hard to make believe

But lately

You seem so far away

...

I wish I could say something

But I don't know what to say

I can feel your eyes

I don't have to look at you

Boy, discontentment

Is a sneakin' through

You never really want anything

But what you really need is everything

I'll give you something only life can bring

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now.

Wo, yeah

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now.

Don't you know?

...

You should be holding me

But you're all locked inside

Why don't you throw me your keys?

...

I'm like a rockin' ship

On your rollin' sea

You know crash down the lightnin'

Never frightens me, nah, nah

You never really want anything

But what you really need is everything

I'll give you something only life can bring

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now.

Wo, yeah

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now.

You never really wanted

...

But you really needed

I wanna give you something

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You never really want anything

But what you really need is everything

I'll give you something only life can bring

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now

But what you really need is everything

I'll give you somethin' only life can bring

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now.

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now

The calm inside the storm

Love me a little, love me now.
