Storm Before the Calm

Joanna Pacitti


Boss just called and he said I'm out
Got twenty-five bucks in my bank account
I feel so far away from home

My boyfriend's off in another state
The people out here can be so fake
I never felt so all alone

When will I see the blue skies
It's always gray

Sometimes the rain will get you
Sometimes the sky will fall
The wind blows you backwards
And you feel so small
Sometimes a cloud will chase you
'Til you think the sun is gone
I guess it's just the storm before the calm

I asked for directions but no one knows
Got where I was going but the doors were closed
Just a minute late again

Turn a hundred channels but there's nothing on
Radio's playing and I hate that song
I really need this day to end

When will I see the blue skies
It's always gray

Sometimes the rain will get you
Sometimes the sky will fall
The wind blows you backwards
And you feel so small (So small)
Sometimes a cloud will chase you
'Til you think the sun is gone
I guess it's just the storm before the calm

It is what it is
So you go with the flow
You throw your hands up and let it all go

It is what it is
And you learn what you learn
So leave it be and let the world turn

(So you go with the flow)

When will I see the blue skies
It's always gray

Sometimes the rain will get you
Sometimes the sky will fall
The wind blows you backwards
And you feel so small (So small)
Sometimes a cloud will chase you
'Til you think the sun is gone
I guess it's just the storm before the calm
