Calm Inside The Storm Lyrics

I can get up
on the right side of the bed
but that wont 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 top make believe,
ah ha

'n 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 ahve to look at you
boy, discontentment
is-a-sneakin' through

You never really want anything
but what you need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
the calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long
Wo yeah
the calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long

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 lightnin'
never frightens me, nah

You never really wanted
but what you really needed
I wanna give you something
mmm...the calm inside the storm
love me a little, love me long
love me a little, love me long

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! I can't believe nobody commented on it. I find it to be about a woman trying to get her male lover to love her again not just sexually but what they have.
