There'll be pain ahead, as there always is
As long as I'm around you
But for now I hope we'll just enjoy
The calm before the storm
It's so quiet now, when we fall in love
"Oh, finally, I've found you"
And the world stands still
Oh, what a thrill
The calm before the storm

But lightning strikes again
She rears her ugly head
With ecstasy and sorrow
In the air, quite a pair

I was wiser then, I'm much younger now
That I see I knew nothing
Though depressing, I must recognize
The calm before the storm

I know it's only right
Winds blow, with all your might
The house of cards goes toppling
Every time, by design

Da-da da-da da, da-da da-da da
Da-da, da-da, da-da da
And the world stands still, oh, what a thrill
The calm before the storm
And it's still a thrill, when we stand still
The calm before the storm
For now and nevermore
