No matter how good it seems No matter how hard you try to make it last It will go away Life has a way To surprise you when you least expect Out of the blue So you hold on to what you think you've got Unsuspecting of the change ahead It was a hell of a ride But now it's through where will you go from here? There's only haze You strain your eyes and see a giant wave headed your way You can't turn away So you hold on to what you think you've got Unsuspecting of the change ahead When it comes it hits you like a brick Knocks you senseless wondering what went wrong And then day after day You make you best to face your fate One day you'll feel at home Just in time for the next wave Next big wave Don't ever get fooled by calm waters around It's all so fragile and vain You'd better prepare for what lies ahead, for now you live The calm before the storm
